Super Bowl is Sunday, in case you weren’t paying attention. Heroes will have an early finale. NBC decided to have it wrap up before the Olympics instead of continuing again in March. On DirecTV, Friday Night Lights finishes up its third season. I believe it’ll be airing on NBC spring or summer.  This Friday, the Winter Olympics start. There are two shows that start this week with “survivor” in the title. One is another version of the CBS reality competition show and the other is a BBC America drama. Don’t confuse them!
