The television program 60 Minutes had an 11-minute piece on the town of Asheboro on Sunday night.

The town was held up as an example of the uneven economic recovery that has been plaguing the country.

Among the businesses featured in the piece by anchor Scott Pelley was Miss Jenny's Pickles of Kernersville. Pelley interviewed Jenny Fulton, the company's founder.

Also mentioned in the piece were MOM Brands (formerly the Malt-O-Meal Company), which has been adding workers in Asheboro, and Hyosung USA, which recently announced that it will close its Asheboro wire plant and eliminate 310 jobs.

CBS News and Showtime Sports announced today that "60 Minutes" will air a monthly sports news magazine program on Showtime starting in November.

"60 Minutes of Sports" will be co-executive produced by "60 Minutes" executive producer Jeff Fager and Bill Owens, the executive editor of "60 Minutes." They will use the on-air talent from "60 Minutes" and CBS Sports to produce two original segments per month for the show, plus one updated "60 Minutes" classic sports story from the program's 44-year archive. Each program will also have a studio-based interview with a sports newsmaker.

Showtime already airs a number of sports programs, including "Inside the NFL," "Inside NASCAR," "The Franchise" and "All Access."

Showtime is owned by CBS.

Giveaway time!

This time it's an unabridged audiobook of Dan Rather's new memoir, "Rather Outspoken."

Rather was the anchor of the "CBS Evening News" for 24 years.  In the memoir, he tells the story of his final months at CBS, including his removal from the anchor chair in the wake of the controversy surrounding his story on George Bush and the Texas Air National Guard. 

Rather, who reported from wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan and covered every U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower, looks over his entire career and his upbringing in Houston, Texas.

The audiobook is read by Rather and a PDF of photos is included on one CD.

If you're interested, send me an email by midnight Friday (include your mailing address, please) and someone will be selected randomly.

Girls (10:30pm, HBO) - In the premiere of a new comedy about a group of twentysomething women navigating life in New York, Hannah (Lena Dunham) gets shattering news from her parents and then loses her unpaid internship. This series is crazy good. Here's my full review.

Super Bowl XLVI (6pm, NBC) - As if you didn't know: New England Patriots vs. the New York Giants in Indianapolis. Madonna performs at halftime. Someone convince me to pull for their team and I will. If football isn't your thing, and you've already seen all the great commercials leaked online, there's always the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

60 Minutes Presents: Three Remarkable Women (8pm, CBS) - Morley Safer profiles Meryl Streep, Anna Wintour, and Dolly Parton.

Downton Abbey (9pm, UNC-TV) - In episode 5, the household prepares for the war's end and the family looks forward to having a private home again -- unless cousin Isobel (Penelope Wilton pictured with Elizabeth McGovern) has her way.

The Voice (10:30pm-ish, NBC) - Season 2 debuts after all the Super Bowl hoopla, so the 10:30pm start time is fluid. Tonight is the first night of blind auditions, during which coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton begin choosing 12 vocalists for their respective teams.

As I watched "Unforgettable" (10 tonight, CBS), I imagined someone seeing the episode of "60 Minutes" with the report on the people with hyperthymesia -- that condition that allows folks to recall every moment -- and saying 'That could be a show!'

And so it is; a cop show, of course. Poppy Montgomery plays a detective who has left the force because remembering everything can apparently be tortuous. She's pulled back into police work when a crime is committed near her building and her ex-boyfriend (Dylan Walsh) happens to lead the local homicide unit. 

"Unforgettable" doesn't live up to it's name; instead it's perfectly pleasant.

In 1970, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton gave a playful interview about their volatile marriage (marriages?).

She said: "Fighting is one of the greatest exercises in marital togetherness." Remember that next time, your spouse works your nerves.

Cold Case (9pm, CBS) - Two new back-to-back episodes tonight make up a two-part mystery season finale that unfortunately could also end up being the show's series finale. The first episode involves the death of a prom queen in 1989 and the second, the murder of a teenager in 1993. What ties the two episodes together is some serious drama with Lily's troubled sister. Music of the Rolling Stones is featured.

Celebrity Apprentice (9pm, NBC) - Trump generously gave everyone a pass last week, and no one went home. Tonight, the teams must produce radio commercials for a home-services company, and of course, there's quarreling and backbiting. I have no additional information about the episode, but I will bet Adrienne a Diet Coke that the fighting involves tittle-tattle Holly Robinson-Peete.

Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - The episode description from ABC says nothing about the fact that Lynette and Tom have invited a serial killer to live with them. That's the only thing I'm really interested in at this point...

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - The episode description from ABC says nothing about what the heck Rob Lowe's character is up to -- where he's going and why. That's the only thing I'm really interested in at this point... 

Breaking Bad (10pm, AMC) - Is this the best show on television, you ask? Why yes, it is. There should be way more buzz about this excellent little slice of televised perfection.  Here's where we are after last week's amazing episode: The search for Heisenberg is escalating quickly for Hank (Dean Norris, right), who has seriously come unhinged. If things weren't bad enough, now he has those murdering Mexican cousins with their big shiny ax after him. I'm not feeling particularly good about Hank's prospects. Will Walt be able to intervene on his behalf?
