What's Playing in the Media Room - February 5th

It's Super Bowl night, so naturally most other networks are taking the night off. Not too many options otherwise tonight, not real smart of HBO to start Luck last week. The ratings weren't very good last week and it will get destroyed this week against the big game. Spartacus fans that might have missed the premiere last week here in Canada get another shot tonight at 8:00 on TMN. Most of the stuff on tonight is on channels we don't get here, so if you're not a fan of movies I'm guessing you'll be renting a movie, playing a boardgame or maybe reading tonight.
