Wedneday on TV: It's all about those Super Bowl commercials

Published on Feb 1, 2012 10:48AM

This year's edition of Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials (7 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2) focuses on brands instead of just individual commercials.

The hour, hosted by Boomer Esiason and Jillian Michaels, will count down the 10 greatest Super Bowl commercial brands, including Budweiser, Bud Light, Careerbuilder.com, Coke, Doritos, E*Trade, FedEx, GoDaddy.com, Pepsi and Victoria's Secret.

If it seems weird to watch a TV show about commercials, well, there are a few million people who tune in to the Super Bowl to see the advertisements.

What I love about this special is that they interrupt the commercials for commercials.

Elsewhere on TV ...

American Idol (7 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): Auditions continue.

One Tree Hill (7 p.m., CW/Ch. 30): Julian is overcome with guilt; Quinn tries to help Clay.

Nova (8 p.m., PBS/Ch. 7): Archaeologists uncover preserved bones of mammoths, mastodons and other extinct beasts.

Remodeled (8 p.m., CW/Ch. 30): Paul and the team confront a stubborn agency owner in Florida.

NBA (8:30 p.m., ESPN and ROOT): L.A. Clippers at Utah Jazz

Top Chef: Texas (11 p.m., Bravo): The contestants cater a party for Pee-Wee Herman.
