Monday-NBC has the season finale of Heroes.
Tuesday-The Forgotten returns new after having 3 weeks off. Past Life premieres on Fox after American Idol. There were originally going to be 13 episodes but it was cut down to 7, which is never a good sign. The series finale of The Jay Leno Show airs.
Wednesday-ABC starts the night out with A Charlie Brown Valentine (The W at Amazon). NBC has reruns of Law & Order: SVU. I think they're trying to get you used to seeing it Wednesdays at 11 (Eastern), because new shows start airing there on March 3rd.
Thursday-the real premiere of Survivor: Heroes & Villains airs on CBS. Past Life moves into its normal timeslot on Fox. Two reruns of The Office in the 11 pm hour.
Friday-ABC airs Spiderman 2 (one of my channels says it's Spiderman 2.1, which was an extended cut with 8 minutes of new footage). There's a new episode of Smallville on The CW, but that's the only scripted programming, because no one wants to oppose NBC's airing of The Opening Ceremony of the XXI Winter Olympics.
Saturday-ABC airs Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, CBS airs Wedding Crashers, and NBC has the Winter Olympics (with men's short track speedskating, women's freestyle skiing, and men's alpine skiing scheduled for primetime).
Sunday-All new on the big 4 networks, though ABC's lineup is strange, with two hours of America's Funniest Home Videos and two hours of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. And of course NBC has the Winter Olympics.
TV RATINGS
I should remind you that live events have their ratings subject to change. For instance, the news story immedately after the one where I got the Super Bowl numbers reported that the Super Bowl was watched by an average of 106.5 million people and did a 45 household rating, and it further said Undercover Boss had 38.6 million viewers and a 16.2 rating 18-49. The point of the article was to proclaim that Super Bowl XLIV was the most watched show in TV history (beating the finale of M*A*S*H), but that's only true in the same way that it's true that Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time: when you fail to adjust for context. The finale of M*A*S*H was seen in about 60% of all US households; Super Bowl XLIV was seen in about 45% of all US households. (And adjusted for inflation Gone With The Wind made $1.5 billion in the United States compared to Avatar's $629 million). But considering the fragmentation of the TV market in this post-cable environment, it's still very impressive.

I keep hearing that the Super Bowl is the highest rated in history and my mind keeps going to the same place:
And these people have all but assured us of a LOCKOUT in 2011??? Nothing kills the golden goose like a WORK STOPPAGE.
What a bunch of clowns.
