There's this sports event called the Super Bowl this Sunday.

The only network willing to counter-program the most-watched program of the year is GPB with a fresh episode of "Downton Abbey."

And CBS has given its freshman show "Elementary" the coveted post-Super Bowl slot.

In other highlights this week, TNT Monday  brings back "Dallas," which shot several episodes before Larry Hagman passed in November.  On Wednesday, FX goes back to 1981 for spy drama "The Americans." NBC says goodbye to its criticalliy acclaimed (if not always highly viewed) show "30 Rock" Thursday.

And on Saturday, Angela Bassett plays Coretta Scott King in a Lifetime movie.
