Watch it
“NCAA Tournament Selection Show” (3 p.m., CBS). Watch the brackets unfold and break out your scouting reports on Lehigh and East Tennessee State.
“30 for 30” (6 p.m., ESPN, rerun at 9 p.m.). The documentary series resumes with a look at the bitter rivalry between the Pacers’ Reggie Miller and the New York Knicks during the ’90s.
“America’s Worst Driver” (7 p.m., Travel Channel). Series premiere. A new reality show where the title pretty much says it all. Tonight’s episode is set in San Francisco. I’m waiting for the Santa Rosa episode — the guy I saw last night who drove over a median and circled the wrong way around a one-way parking lot in his massive pickup would be a contender.
“Amazing Race” (8 p.m., CBS). The teams go to France and re-enact World War I trench warfare. Yikes, hope they go easy on the mustard gas. The fake warfare is a weird juxtaposition with “The Pacific” too.
“The Pacific” (9 p.m., HBO). Series premiere. The epic World War II miniseries kicks off in the days following Pearl Harbor, and follows a group of Marines through the bloody battle for Guadalcanal.
Record it
“Celebrity Apprentice” (9 p.m., NBC). I’m not going to watch it, but I admit the cast this season looks interesting. Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels, Dennis Rodman . . . . this could be a solid guilty pleasure or else implode and become completely unwatchable. I’m leaning toward guilty pleasure at this point.
“Ultimate Recipe Showdown” (9 p.m., Food Network). Season premiere. Because try as you might, you just can’t escape Guy Fieri. This is a fairly fun show though, with amateur cooks squaring off.
“Summit on the Summit” (9 p.m., MTV). A group of celebrities climbs Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for the need for clean drinking water in the Third World. Climbers include Jessica Biel and Lupe Fiasco. Could be interesting, and in a change of pace for MTV, it’s probably not something that will make you dumber.
“How to Make It In America” (10 p.m., HBO). I’d typically say “watch it,” but coming after “The Pacific,” I think a breezy comedy will be too jarring. You’ll need something else to transition. In the show, where nothing much ever happens, the guys are forced to re-evaluate their business plan. So it sounds like not much happens, again. Yet it’s still somehow fun and enjoyable.
Skip it
“Minute to Win It” (7 and 8 p.m., NBC). Series premiere. Sorry Guy. This new game show looks completely stupid. It was originally scheduled to run over the summer, which seems more appropriate (stupid becomes OK over the summer — look at “Wipeout”). Airing in the spring against other networks’ top programming just makes NBC look cheap and desperate. Which, well, they are. But cheap and desperate enough to run two hours of this tonight? Wow. That’s just pathetic.
“Who Framed Jesus” (8 p.m., Discovery). Was Judas set up? OK, historical CSI shows have officially jumped the shark.
“Sons of Tucson” (9:30 p.m., Fox). Series premiere. Tyler Labine was great in the dearly departed “Reaper,” but he’s stuck playing the straight man to a bunch of obnoxious kids in this new sitcom. It looks awful.
