More post-Super Bowl hype: Nielsen says 95 million watched, NBC says 148 million watched, and Tuscon Comcast subscribers got 30 seconds of porn during the Super Bowl (that's so wrong in so many ways, if you're going to prank me with porn, you'd better provide more than 30 seconds of it).

Some interesting stuff returns to TV tonight, like IFC's "The IT Crowd" but check out the late night offerings as there's a lot to choose from.
