8:00 EST – NBA Playoffs: Celtics at Hawks (TNT)
Just when you thought there would be one sure-fire sweep in the east, the Boston went and lost to Atlanta to bring the series to 2-1. Can the scrappy Hawks even the series? (No.)
9:00 – House (FOX)
New episodes of House start this week, but the real question on America’s mind is: how will Dr. Kal Penn perform after his weekend trip to Amsterdam?
10:00 – Spy Hard (AMC)
What? What? It’s got Weird Al singing the theme song! What more do you want?
Late Night
Gwyneth Paltrow and Richard Lewis work out their neuroses on Letterman, Helen Hunt is all Helen Hunty on Leno, Ewan McGregor wonders where his career went on Ferguson, Marisa Tomei does much the same on Conan, Jimmy Carter farms some peanuts on Stewart and Feist sells some iPods on Colbert.

Until the Break of Dawn – Super Tuesday coverage (Everywhere)
Democracy!!! Can you FEEL it??? We here at 2.0somethings are pumped for hours and hours of endless coverage – and it don’t stop til the last California vote is in! Our recommendation: MSNBC. Olbermann and Matthews are dynamic, sardonic, and, let’s face it, ballsy. Not going to get that from those virtual reality weirdos over at CNN.
9:00 – House (FOX)
The last new House until the end of the strike features a woman who converts to Hasidic Judiasm and falls suspiciously ill. Apparently the Hasids are the new Scientologists.
Late Night
Matthew McConaughey talks to Dave about his interpretive dance influences and Ferguson tries to figure out a way to ask Amy Ryan what it’s like to be an unattractive actress. Look for the words “authentic” and “real” to be thrown around. The Daily Show and Colbert are bound to have some silly speculative Super Tuesday coverage, up to date as of… five in the afternoon. Hrm.

9:00 – House (FOX)
Wait, they still make new episodes of TV? West Wing-heads rejoice, as Janel Maloney stops by the hospital to have seven years of will-they-won’t-they romantic storylines with Dr. House.
9:00 – Wayne’s World (Universal HD)
We continue our West Wing theme with Rob Lowe in his starmaking role as an evil TV executive in this heartbreaking tale of love, loss, and sphinctersayswhat? Exactly.
Late Night
Dave Letterman stops by Cosby with one of his trademark sweaters. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you. “San Diego Charger Antonio Gates” is on Ferguson, who I assume is a different person than “Iron Chef Antonio Gates” and “Lord of the Realm Antonio Gates.”

Welcome to the weekly “get a life” edition of the TV listings. I don’t even feel bad about listing a repeat House episode because, seriously, get a life.
8:00 – 1 vs. 100 (NBC)
Look: Bob Saget entertained you for seven years on Full House, the least you could do is watch an episode of his generic flashy game show. Because if you don’t, he might make another HBO special, and then we’re all screwed.
9:00 – Borat: Cultural Learnings for Blah Blah Blah (HBO)
Too cheap to spring for the $10 Sweeney Todd movie ticket? Put on Borat and pretend that Pam Anderson is Helena Bonham Carter, and that Ken Davitian’s horrible hairy ass is Johnny Depp’s horrible hairy ass.
9:00 – House (FOX)
“A 34-year-old supermom is hospitalized after spasms in her arms cause an auto accident. Then she has a stroke.” Then she contracts smallpox. Then she makes a full recovery! Then she gets hair cancer.
Late Night
Diane Keaton and Jim Gaffigan just happen to be in the neighborhood and stop by Letterman, and Ferguson welcomes Ted Danson. All hail Danson.
