Watch it

“The Simpsons” (8 p.m., Fox). Homer wins the lottery, but has to lie to Marge because he missed a date night with her to buy it. D’oh! Coldplay’s Chris Martin lends his voice.

“Family Guy” (9 p.m., Fox). Brian finds out Meg has a secret boyfriend. In jail. Chase Crawford (“Gossip Girl”) and Alison Janney (“West Wing”) are guest voices.

“Worst Cooks in America” (10 p.m., Food Network). It’s down to the final four. My money’s on Jen Vecchio and Eddie for the finals. And I can’t believe Velma from “Scooby Doo” is still around.

Flipping channels?

“SNL Presents: Sports All-Stars” (9 p.m., NBC). The best of “Saturday Night Live’s” sports-related sketches over the years. Among them: Will Ferrell’s Harry Carey and Ray Romano’s “sweet sassy molassey!” announcer. Funny, but probably nothing you haven’t seen before.

Record it

“Survivor Preview” (8 p.m., TV Guide). An inside look at the upcoming “Heroes vs. Villains” season. Probably nothing new for diehard “Survivor” fans, but for newbies who want to get acquainted with the all-star cast, it might be worth a look.

Games of the day

NHL: Red Wings at Penguins (9:30 a.m., NBC). Warm up for the Olympics with these teams laden with international stars.

NBA: Lakers at Celtics (12:30 p.m., ABC). A classic rivalry is renewed.
Warriors at Thunder
(4 p.m., CSN-BA). Tune in for one reason: Kevin Durant.

College basketball: Cal at Arizona (12:30 p.m., CSN-BA). Two of the least-suckiest teams in the Pac 10 face off. A win for Cal would boost their chances for the regular-season championship.

NFL: Pro Bowl (4:30 p.m., ESPN). The most boring and pointless of all the all-star games.

Skip it

Grammy Awards (8 p.m., CBS). The annual gaudy celebration of mediocre music.  Of all the awards shows, this one makes me cringe the most.

“House Hunters International” (9:30 p.m., HGTV). Here’s the official episode title, seriously: “Les and Anita Are Looking for a Vacation Home on Roatan Island in Honduras to Escape Vancouver Island’s Cold Winters.” Jeebus. Someone needs to learn to write a concise headline. Besides, I’d be more interested if they were looking for a house on Vancouver Island. Vacation beach homes are boring.
