Are you as fired up about the NFL as I am? I know the top 4 this year probably aren’t the ones you expected, and SURE, maybe one of your favorite coaches won’t be coming back next year (did they REALLY fire Jon Gruden?!?) but isn’t it fun to see new faces doing well this season, like Joe Flacco of the Ravens, and Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals? So maybe the Superbowl this year will be a good, close game and, after all, isn’t that what we all want anyway? In any case, don’t miss the conference championships today, since these games determine who will show up in Tampa on February 1 for the big game!

Is the NFL overshadowing this day for me? Absolutely! Are there other shows that some people might prefer? I suppose so. In that light, don’t forget there are a few season premieres (Big Love on HBO; the l word on SHOWTIME; Flight of the Conchords on HBO; and The United States of Tara on SHOWTIME). I mention the season premiere of Secret Diary of a Call Girl on SHOWTIME separately because it stars one of my favorite companions of the Doctor, (Who that is), Rose Tyler, I mean Billie Piper!

This may be the night to try out the new game show Game Show in My Head, or perhaps the movie on LIFETIME: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, one that I hear is an excellent family movie!

Patrick Swayze takes on a new dramatic role in A&E’s new series, The Beast. An FBI drama about undercover agents who take on roles that take them to the edge, Swayze leads his partner into some dangerous situations that cause the Internal Affairs Department to enlist the partner to spy on Swayze’s character’s questionable actions. Could be quite interesting! Good to see he’s well enough to start on this new venture!

DISCOVERY’s new series, Treasure Quest, takes you into the world of conquest of the treasures to be found at the bottom of the ocean, which comes with the excitement of getting these valued items out quickly and the politics surrounding these recoveries.

The 4 major networks will be airing the Presidential Address to the Nation, pre-empting many of your favorites, namely, Ugly Betty and Kath & Kim.

At long last, American Idol returns! I’m always antsy for the next reality series when Big Brother, Survivor, and Amazing Race are done, so this will fill that space nicely for awhile. There’s a new music critic joining Randy, Paula and Simon this season who is supposed to spice things up a little! Maybe she’ll eventually lead to the ouster of Paula, she’s grated on my nerves too long!

Don’t know how many of you have been watching this, but ABC Family’s sci-fi series, Kyle XY, returns for a new season tonight. I really like this show and hopefully they will get the kids out of high school soon so this can have more appeal to adults as well as teenagers.

Two season finales tonight: FRC’s Smile…You’re Under Arrest and BBC America’s Graham Norton Show. If you’ve never seen Graham Norton in action, I highly recommend you watch this show, catch the reruns and look for news on this website to see when the next season premieres. It’s a funky British talk show which features guests not only from the UK but famous guests from the US as well. CMT’s My Big Redneck Wedding is returning for another season.
