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. Also, in a remarkably "soapy" twist, a wounded officer makes a startling claim that could alter the Downton succession plan.

Luck (9pm, HBO) - In the second episode of the series (which has already been renewed for another season by HBO), Ace (Dustin Hoffman) meets with his parole officer and starts to line up potential investors as a public face for his next big venture. Also, Walter finds a seasoned jockey for his prized thoroughbred, much to Rosie's dismay.

Shameless (9pm, Showtime) - When Eddie Jackson's body turns up, Frank thinks he should be in line to claim his pension and insurance benefits.

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.

Even though "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" only started 5 minutes late Wednesday night (due to the last game of the Stanley Cup Finals), I knew we were in trouble at 12:20 a.m. when Leno was still on his first guest, Blake Lively, and he still had Blake Shelton to go before getting to Scotty McCreery.

So this recap was written while I was sleepy and hatin' on Jay Leno.

Blake Shelton hit the couch at 12:28, so that means he and Scotty get to split about 12 minutes, not counting commercials. Woo-hoo, thanks Jay!

In case you missed it Thursday night, here's the 12-minute extended promo of NBC's great new hope: the singing competition show 'The Voice' (debuts April 26 at 9pm). The promo starts off with a hot rendition of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' by the show's coaches Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine. And if the audition they show in this clip is any indication, I think this is going to be huge. Does that make me craaaaazay?

Something country, something Christian, something television-related -- and most all if it rather wholesome. Sounds like the live-concert lineup for the 2009 North Carolina State Fair. One headliner is still to be announced, but so far it looks like this:
