Watch it

Super Bowl (3 p.m., CBS). It’s the biggest TV event of the year, you can’t not watch. Not a football fan? Watch the commercials then and enjoy the pop culture spectacle that it’s become. It should be a great game though, with Payton Manning and the Colts against the high-octane offense of the Saints. If both teams don’t score in the 30s, I’ll be disappointed.  Go Saints! (Who I have just jinxed by saying that.) BTW, if you want to skip all the pregame stuff, kickoff is at 3:27.

Primetime

There’s pretty much nothing on. Anywhere. So feel free to drink and eat too much during the game and spend the night slouched on the couch with Cheetos stains on your fingers surrounded by empty beer bottles as you gaze emptily at the wall.

Marathons

Oh, there are a bunch. Here are the highlights: Start off with a complete “Jersey Shore” marathon (that’s what I’ll have on before the game starts) starting at 9 a.m. on MTV. Animal Planet will be running “Puppy Bowl VI” all afternoon starting at noon. There’s a  “House Hunters” marathon on HGTV starting at 5 p.m., and at night, catch some “Modern Family” reruns on ABC (at 8, 9, 10 and 10:30 p.m.).

Skip it

Super Bowl pregame (11 a.m., CBS). Are ya ready for four and a half hours of hype and inane commentary? It’s all a huge waste of time, don’t bother.

“Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS). Corporate executives spend a day working in the muck with commoners in their company. Then jet off to Gstaad for the weekend. This looks like a completely contrived (and vaguely offensive) PR move to make grotesquely rich and out-of-touch bigwigs appear sympathetic. Don’t believe the hype.
