Three gridiron greats go head to head (to head) in a Super Bowl Cookoff on The Rachael Ray Show (syndicated, check your local listings). For some reason she doesn’t list who the “greats” are on her website anywhere (or at least I can’t find them as I write this). The fabulous Mario Batalli is the judge, one hopes he does some cooking himself too. And Rachael spotlights some favorite beauty products.

Primetime
Tonight Sci-Fi Channel starts airing Chuck on Fridays at 6pm. The very first episode airs tonight and it’s cool, naturally the second episode will air next Friday. This is one of my favorite new shows of this season and I highly recommend it. The show is a fun mix of comedy, action, romance, spy stuff, and all things geek. Zachary Levi (who played “Kip” on Less Than Perfect) stars, with Adam Baldwin (who played “Jayne” on Firefly), Yvonne Strzechowki, Joshua Gomez, and Sarah Lancaster (of What About Brian, Everwood). Matthew Bomer (of Traveler, Tru Calling) makes a memorable appearance in this first episode. Tony Todd has a small but cool recurring part on the show as a CIA boss. Chuck works as part of the “Nerd Herd” at a “Buy More” store, but things get crazy after he receives an email from a spy. Many felt this show was similar to Reaper, but there are some key differences. Chuck is by far the better show of the two.
NBA hoops: Jazz at Wizards (ESPN, 7pm), Knicks at Trail Blazers (ESPN, 9:30pm).
New Flash Gordon (Sci-Fi, 7pm and 10pm).
New Gone Country (CMT, 7pm).
Tonight they add a chimp to the mob on 1 vs. 100 (NBC, 7pm). Yes, really. He joins regular mob-members Oscar the Grouch, Ross the Intern, Richard Rubin (of Beauty and the Geek), and Playboy Playmates the Dahm Triplets.
Rebroadcast of latest new episode of The Wire (HBO, 7pm). So, fellow fans of The Wire, wasn’t it weird to see Cedric Daniels show up on Lost last night? Or, um, I mean Lance Reddick guest starred on the show.
The team tries to prove a man’s innocence before he is executed in this rerun of Bones (FOX, 7pm) from early in season one. The show has improved since season one in a number of ways, but it’s fun to see these early episodes again from when the relationships weren’t quite as warm as they are now. If I recall correctly, this is one of the better episodes from season one. The events of this episode end up affecting some future episodes (more so than most, I mean).
Booth: Name?
Brennan: You know my name.
Booth: Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.
Brennan: It’s ridiculous.
Booth: Fine. Then we’re done here. Do you want to get some coffee?
Brennan: My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Booth: Reason for wanting a gun?
Brennan: To shoot people.
Booth: Not a good response.
Brennan: It’s the truth.
Booth: You know, I’m writing ’self defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.’
Brennan: So I can shoot them.
Booth: Have you ever been charged with a felony?
Brennan: Charged or convicted?
Booth: Charged.
Brennan: You know I have.
Booth: I have to ask the questions.
Brennan: Bureaucratic nonsense.
from Bones
Rerun of the fourth episode of this season of Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 7pm - 8:02pm). DVR Alert: Runs two minutes long. I’d swear this one was just rebroadcast not long ago, but it must not have been on Friday night. It seems like they’re now running the Friday reruns in order now. A teen football player is in the hospital with an injury and I think some of the doctors might want to injure his father because of the way he treats his son. The Chief’s niece returns to the hospital because her cancer might be back; when she was on the show the first time, they held a prom for her and she was played by a different actress than she is in this episode. Loretta Devine returns as the Chief’s wife Adele. Ava (Elizabeth Reaser) pays Alex a visit. Edward Herrmann (of Gilmore Girls) plays a unique intern. And everyone thinks that Callie is gonna fight Izzie in the cafeteria.
Izzie: You guys seen Callie?
Cristina: No. Oh, is it time for her to grind your bones into dust?
Izzie: Oh, you don’t think I can take her?
Meredith: Are you guys really doing this?
Izzie: You heard?
Meredith: The whole hospital heard.
Izzie: Well, that explains the line at the salad bar.
from Grey’s Anatomy
I’m not a fan of Ghost Whisperer (CBS, 7pm), but I’m told that tonight’s rerun is of one of the best episodes of the show. Jim’s friend returns home from the war and he’s suffering from memory loss; he fallen comrades end up paying visits to Melinda to help her help him. Some real life war veterans appear as extras in this episode.
Smash begins his suspension and turns to Coach for advice on a new Friday Night Lights (NBC, 8pm). Matt Saracen is a bit depressed, if I read things right. Landry may have a new love interest. And someone gets jealous of the time Mrs. Coach is spending with someone else. I could get more specific, but what fun would that be? Just one more new episode after this one, because of the strike shortened season.
Monk takes up painting in tonight’s new episode of Monk (USA, 8pm and 11pm; also on Saturday at 6pm) which is titled “Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece”. Just two more new episodes to go after this one for this season.
C arson advises a 26-year-old businesswoman on a new How To Look Good Naked (Lifetime, 8pm) which is followed by a rerun of an earlier episode (Lifetime, 8:30pm).
House (FOX, 8pm) becomes obsessed with a seemingly mundane case because it reminds him of a case from years ago where he couldn’t figure out what was wrong until it was too late. This is a rerun of a classic episode from season two which also involves a benefit at the hospital that features a memorable poker game.
House: “The parents are mad because their kid is dying, it’s understandable, but if he doesn’t die they won’t be mad anymore.”
Dr. Cuddy: “But if he’s brain damaged they might still be a little ticked.”
from House
Rerun of the fourth episode of Moonlight (CBS, 8pm). Mick ends up spending way too much time in the desert while helping rescue someone. Desert + vampire = not a good thing and he ends up near death in an old boarded up motel. Will his special reporter friend find him in time to help him? Well, duh, she does. But “help” in this case isn’t so simple, it may involve some bloodletting after all. Awkward! This is a rather intense episode. So okay, one night I was bored and found myself watching all of the episodes of Moonlight that I hadn’t yet seen and it turns out the show has improved a whole lot since the first episode. Still not a great show, but I can see how one might get hooked on it. Not that I’m hooked or anything, no, not me. If this episode doesn’t hook you, this probably isn’t the show for you.
Beth: “So how long can you stay outside? Like how much sun is too much?”
Mick: “Any is too much.”
Beth: “You’re a delicate flower Mick St. John.”
from Moonlight
The women throw Bree a surprise baby shower on a rerun of Desperate Housewives (ABC, 8:02pm). They also welcome a gay couple to the neighborhood. Edie has a shocking visit to the doctor and Gabrielle goes shopping with Lynette.
Paul (played by Gabriel Byrne) has mostly kept it together while treating patients this week, but we find out a lot about how he really feels in tonight’s new episode of In Treatment (HBO, 8:30pm) when he meets with a therapist named Gina played by Dianne Wiest. It’s all rather complicated as he hasn’t seen Gina in years and it sounds like they have quite the history and stopped seeing each other on bad terms. And then there’s all the stuff that went on with his patients this week and issues with his marriage and . . . yeah, there’s a lot going on here. It’s really interesting to see Paul talk about himself, his practice, and his marriage after seeing him so subdued when treating others. I’ve seen this episode and I liked it a lot. If you missed any or all of the first five episodes of this new show, they all air again this weekend on HBO2, HBO Signature, and probably another HBO station or two– check the listings to find them. If you don’t get HBO, you can watch the episodes on the website for the show.
A member of a local brotherhood dies during an initiation ritual and Gus and Shawn investigate on a new Psych (USA, 9pm and midnight; also 5pm on Saturday). Lassiter’s father-in-law is a member of this secret society or lodge or whatever it is, which should make things interesting. Just two more episodes after this one for this season of Psych.
After Sheppard learns of his father’s death, he returns to Earth on a new Stargate Atlantis (Sci-Fi, 9pm and 11pm). And then he gets involved in some sort of experiment . . .
A magazine editor pays a visit to the Montecito to observe Piper as she’s up for a “Concierge of the Year” award on a new Las Vegas (NBC, 9pm). I expect Piper and the rest of the staff will be working overtime to impress this person (yes, I’ve seen TV before). Meanwhile, Danny and Mike sign up for a 2 on 2 basketball competition. NBC still has three more new episodes of this show to air after this one.
Elizabeth Vargas has an exclusive interview with the family of American student Amanda Knox on a new 20/20 (ABC, 9pm). Knox is a suspect in the murder of her British roommate and is currently being held in an Italian prison.
A car crashes into a busy coffee shop in this rerun of Numb3rs (CBS, 9pm). Guest stars include Michael Welch (who was “Luke Girardi” on Joan of Arcadia) and Chris Bauer (who was “Frank Sobotka” on The Wire). Math and physics help solve the case, of course. If I recall correctly, the case involves illegal street racing.
Dinner For Five returns for a special 50th (and probably final) episode (IFC, 9:30pm and 12:30am; also on Saturday at 10:30pm). Host Jon Favreau dines with Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsly, Justin Long (of Ed, Apple commercials (he’s Mac), and Keir O’Donnell. These guys all worked together on the new soon-to-be-released film Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show so they’ll talk about that experience as well as anything else that comes up. If you don’t get IFC and want to see the show, it will be available on IFC.com later tonight and it will be available to Netflix subscribers as a streaming video starting on Monday.
Late Night
New Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO, 10pm). I don’t know who his guests will be.
Paris Hilton, Artie Lange, Vampire Weekend on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS, 10:35pm).
Eva Longoria Parker, Allen Covert, Al Madrigal on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS, 11:37pm).

News & Notes for Saturday
This year “31 Days of Oscar” on Turner Classic Movies runs from February 1st through March 2nd. All the movies they air during this time were nominated for Oscars of some sort (or at least people who worked on the movies were nominated).
Saturday Daytime
Indiana has “Adventures in the Secret Service” on The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (History Channel, 6am - 8am). Sean Patrick Flanery stars as Indy. Christopher Lee guest stars. You can read about the show and find out more about particular episodes on the History Channel’s website for the show.
Independent Film Channel has stopped airing Zatoichi movies on Saturday mornings, but they are airing samurai movies. This morning we get Three Outlaw Samurai (IFC, 7am) from 1964. “A wandering warrior and two renegade guards help farmers in their united quest for justice from an evil magistrate.” Tetsuro Tamba, Isamu Nagato, Mikijiro Hira, Miyuki Kuwano, and Kyoko Aoi star. First film directed by Hideo Gosha.
Rebroadcasts of the first five episodes of In Treatment (HBO Signature, 8am - 10:30am). Gabriel Byrne stars.
Rob Lowe, Andre Braugher, Donald Sutherland, and Samantha Mathis star in Salem’s Lot (TNT, 8am - Noon).
Turner Classic Movies airs a bunch of science fiction movies today letterboxed (in most cases) and uncut (of course): 2010 (TCM, 6:15am - 8:15am), Forbidden Planet (TCM, 8:15am), Them! (TCM, 10am), The Time Machine (Sci-Fi, 11:45am), The Black Hole (TCM, 1:30pm); 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (TCM, 3:15pm), and The War of the Worlds (TCM, 5:30pm). All of these movies feature work that was nominated for the Academy Award. You can read more about them on the TCM website. I’m particularly fond of Forbidden Planet, The Time Machine; 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and War of the Worlds.
Emeril talks chips and sip on a new episode of Essence of Emeril (Food Network, 7am).
There are lots of new episodes of cooking shows today on the Food Network, I won’t list them all, you might want to check your local listings if you enjoy shows on this station.
New How Not To Decorate (BBC America, 8am).
Mike Myers and Deepak Chopra sit down together on Iconoclasts (Sundance, 8am and 1pm).
Mushrooms are the subject Jamie Oliver tackles in a new Jamie at Home (Food Network, 8:30am).
Prefer space science to science fiction? The History Channel airs episodes of The Universe: “Mars: The Red Planet” (History, 10am), “Spaceship Earth” (History, 11am), “The Most Dangerous Place in the Universe” (History, Noon), “Astrobiology” (History, 1pm), “Alien Moons” (History, 2pm), and “Dark Matter” (History, 3pm).
Rebroadcast of the latest Inside the NFL (HBO, 10am). I’m guessing there’s some talk of the Super Bowl.
Gardening by the Yard (HGTV, 11am) shows how to prune rose bushes.
College basketball: Syracuse at Villanova (ESPN, 11am), Maryland at Georgia Tech (ESPN2, 11am), Pittsburgh at Connecticut (CBS, Noon), Oklahoma State at Texas Tech (ESPN, 1pm), Rider at Siena (ESPN2, 1pm), Miami at Duke (ABC, 2:30pm), South Alabama at Louisiana-Monroe (ESPN2, 3pm), and DePaul at Notre Dame (ESPN Classic, 5pm).
Another airing of the “Across the Iron Curtain” episode of Michael Palin’s New Europe (Travel Channel, 11am).
New episode of The Batman (CW, 11:30am, though you may want to check your local listings).
Rebroadcast of the new episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (Travel Channel, Noon) that debuted earlier this week. Bourdain is in Greece.
Rick & A.J. Simon (Gerald McRaney, Jameson Parker) of Simon & Simon pay a visit to Hawaii and try to break into Robin Masters’ estate in this episode of Magnum, P.I. (Sleuth, 1pm). Then Higgins (Jonathan Hillerman) of Magnum, P.I.) heads to San Diego to meet up with the Simon brothers on Simon & Simon (Sleuth, 2pm). Morgan Fairchild guest stars. Usually when this episode of Magnum, P.I. airs, it ends with the capture of the “bad guy” and all is well. But I suspect since the episode is airing with the right Simon & Simon episode on after it, as it originally aired on CBS, we’ll get the original ending which is “to be continued” onto the other show. They filmed two different endings, knowing that the show would air in syndication and might need to stand alone.
The very first episode of Slings and Arrows (Sundance, 2pm; also on Sunday at 1pm). It’s good to see that Sundance will be airing this excellent show again from the beginning on the weekends. If you’ve not seen this show, you’ve missed something very cool. It’s a Canadian series about a small British theater and the people who work there. Paul Gross stars as the somewhat unstable director of the New Burbage Theatre Festival, I think he’s still best known for playing “Benton Fraser” on Due South). Mark McKinney (of Kids in the Hall) both writes for and acts on the show. Rachel McAdams and Sarah Polley appear on the show. The show is great fun for theater fans and Shakespeare fans. Slings & Arrows: The Complete Collection
Figure Skating: U.S. Championships, Exhibition (NBC, 3pm - 5pm). From Saint Paul, Minnesota. This is the fun exhibition skate after the competition is over.
College Football All-Star Challenge (ESPN, 3pm).
Rebroadcast of the episode of Psych (USA, 5pm) that debuted on Friday night. There’s a death at a lodge.
“Smith and Jones” is the first episode of season three of the new Doctor Who (BBC America, 5pm). Where The Doctor (David Tennant) first meets Martha Jones (played by Freema Agyeman). It’s followed by the second episode of season three (BBC America, 6pm) which features William Shakespeare. I enjoyed this season of Doctor Who though the multi-part season finale ended up disappointing me (after starting out very cool). Doctor Who - The Complete Third Series
Mark Valley (of Boston Legal) and Sienna Miller star in Keen Eddie (Sleuth, 5pm and midnight). Eddie befriends the victim of a hazing incident at a school and then that boy tries to be like Eddie. Oddly enough this was the fifth episode filmed, but it never aired (seven episodes did air, but this one wasn’t one of them, though it was scheduled and then bumped multiple times).
ESPN2 is airing a big marathon of Super Bowl Highlights (ESPN2, 5pm Saturday - 5am Sunday; 11am Sunday - 1pm Sunday).
Geena Davis stars in The Long Kiss Goodnight (IFC, 5:50pm) as a schoolteacher and mother who doesn’t remember much of her past. Samuel L. Jackson stars as a private investigator who helps her find out who she really is. Turns out she’s an assassin. Eek! And some bad guys are after there; Craig Bierko makes a surprisingly good villain (I just don’t think of him that way). Brian Cox, Tom Amandes (of Everwood), and David Morse (of Hack) also have roles in the film. I like this movie and am pleased to see it air uncut and letterboxed on IFC. Directed by Renny Harlin (who was married to Geena Davis at the time), written by Shane Black (who wrote the Lethal Weapon movies; most recently he wrote and directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang after taking a break from writing for film).
Another airing of the “Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece” episode of Monk (USA, 6pm) which debuted on Friday night.
Nikki Blonsky and Annie Potts star in the Lifetime original movie Queen Sized (Lifetime, 6pm). “An overweight teenager becomes a local celebrity when she stands up to pranksters at her high school.”
At The Movies with Ebert & Roeper (syndicated, check your local listings) is a rerun of the episode where Roeper and MIchael Phillips run down their picks for the worst movies of 2007. “Run down” is a good way of putting it.

You’ll want to check your local PBS listings to find Austin City Limits Presents: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival as a rather impressive group of stars will be performing on the show: Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs, Bruce Hornsby, Bela Fleck, Gillian Welch, and Emmylou Harris. Wow.
Turner Classic Movies switches gears from science fiction to Oscar nominated films from the ’80s: Gandhi (TCM, 7pm), Atlantic City (TCM, 10:15pm), The Trip to Bountiful (TCM, 12:15am), and Mephisto (TCM, 2:15am).
Season two of Torchwood is underway in both the U.K. and the U.S. It’s nice that those of us here in the States don’t have to wait quite so long after episodes debut in the U.K. In any event, if you missed the season premiere last week, you can catch that episode of Torchwood again tonight (BBC America, 7pm, 10pm, 1am). James Marsters (of Buffy, Angel, et al) guest stars as a man who shares quite the past with Captain Jack. I believe he both fights with Jack and makes out with him. Awww. Anyway, when it first aired, I could hear fangirls squeeing all over the world. Torchwood - The Complete First Season
Dog Show: AKC/Eukanuba National Championship 2008 (Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, 7pm - 10pm; airs again at 10pm on Animal Planet and 11pm on Discovery; also on Sunday at 11am on Animal Planet).
Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Michael Moriarty star in Courage Under Fire (Fox Movie Channel, 7pm, 9pm, 11pm). Should be letterboxed and uncut (good for Fox Movie Channel). Washington plays an officer who reviews the records of a female helicopter pilot (played by Meg Ryan) to see if she’s a suitable Medal of Honor candidate. Directed by Edward Zwick, who directed Washington in Glory (Washington won an Oscar for his performance in that film). Matt Damon lost a ridiculous amount of weight for the small (but memorable) part he plays in this movie. Bronson Pinchot (of Perfect Strangers), Zeljko Ivanek (of Damages, Homicide), Seth Gilliam (of The Wire, Oz), Regina Taylor (of The Unit, I’ll Fly Away), Scott Glenn, Sean Astin, and Ned Vaughn (of China Beach) also appear in this movie.
Two new episodes of Flip That House (TLC, 7pm and 10pm, 7:30pm and 10:30pm).

New episode of Torchwood (BBC America, 8pm, 11pm, 2am). When a couple survives a burglary, but the burglars end up viciously attacked, the Torchwood folks think that maybe the couple is hiding something. Could one of them be an alien? I’ve seen this episode and it’s pretty good.
A mother who thinks she knows best swaps renovations with a rebel daughter on a new episode of Trading Spaces (TLC, 8pm and 11pm; also on 11am on Sunday. Paige is back on the show this season! Just in case you missed her (I guess I have).
Janeane Garofalo stars in the Lifetime original movie Girl’s Best Friend (Lifetime, 8pm). The character played by Garofalo goes on a cross-country trip with her mother’s dog.
William H. Macy, Maria Bello, and Alec Baldwin star in The Cooler (IFC, 8pm, 2am). Uncut and letterboxed.
There’s a “Great Garage Makeover” on a new episode of Color Splash (HGTV, 8pm and midnight).

A parody of Avril Lavigne’s video “Girlfriend” and a parody of TV show “24″ are among the sketches on a new Mad TV (FOX, 10pm). I can’t help but wonder if this is really new or if it’s a new show . . . composed of clips.
New episode of the anime series Death Note (Cartoon Network, 10:30pm and 1:30am).
