Whats Hot On TV

There were slim pickings on TV yesterday, as apparently the programmers were saving it all for today, with plenty to choose from, both afternoon and evening. It makes being stuck inside during this horrifying weather in the Midwest not so bad. Those of you not in subzero weather, bite me. We have some great classic and new family movies, some football, and yes the Chenbot facing off against Phil Keoghan in Million Dollar Password. Will she be Philiminated?

1. NFL Football: Steelers at Titans. These two teams are battling over the best record in the AFC, with Pittsburgh just one game behind Tennessee. The Titans had just their second loss last week, and with another, it’ll tie then with the Steelers. They’re both working on home field advantage. 12:00 PM CT CBS

2. College Road Trip. Decent Disney flick with Raven-Symone and Martina Lawrence about a girl doing battle with her father on where to go to college. They take a road trip together to check out the possibilities. Donny Osmond has a bit part as well. 1:05 PM CT Starz West

6. Good Housekeeping Seasonal Special: Stress-Less. Host Rebecca Kolls teaches us how to organize and get things down in a timely fashion during the holidays. Why?
