Twitter
Google
Sunday (March 14) is an especially crowded night of television, with three regular series, a big-event miniseries and a recognizably branded TV movie all debuting in primetime.Outside of the first week of the TV season, in fact, it's unlikely that any night this season has featured as many debuts in addition to new episodes of current shows on the broadcast networks.
So which of the premieres will you be watching? Here are the contenders:
"The Celebrity Apprentice." The third edition of NBC's reality show debuts at 9 p.m. ET and features the likes of Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne, Michael Johnson and Cyndi Lauper competing for Donald Trump's approval.
"Minute to Win It." This new NBC game show, hosted by the Food Network's Guy Fieri, has contestants performing seemingly mundane -- emphasis on "seemingly" -- against a running clock. It debuts at 7 p.m.
"Sons of Tucson." Imagine "Reaper's" Sock (Tyler Labine) posing as the father of three boys whose real dad is in jail, and you get an idea of this easygoing FOX comedy that premieres at 9:30 p.m. following "Family Guy."
"The Pacific." HBO's epic World War II miniseries, which follows U.S. Marines fighting in the Pacific theater of the war, debuts at 9 p.m.
"The Cutting Edge: Fire and Ice." The fourth movie in the skating-romance franchise stars Francia Raisa and Brendan Fehr as the latest set of mismatched partners and airs at 8 p.m. on ABC Family.
So what's it going to be? Vote in the poll below and let us know in the comments.

This is why they invented DVR's -- and HBO has showings of THE PACIFIC through the evening and during the week, so you don't have to watch just on Sunday night!
(This is something the major networks should adopt -- which FX, USA and TNT have adopted -- let us watch shows on OUR schedule! If they don't change, they will continue to lose viewers -- everyone else but the "big four" have multiple showings...)
So -- DVR and multiple showings during the week... What's the problem?
I will watch Fox's Animation Domination, then switch at 9:30 to something else (Sons of Tucson looks so stupid to me, I predict it will be canceled after less than 1 season if the actual show is as bad as the previews).
I live on the West Coast, so I was able to watch The Pacific on HBO's East Coast feed at 6:00. Tonight I'll be watching Desperate Housewives and Cold Case, and recording Sons of Tucson.
None of the above. I'm so sick of television lately. The really good shows get cancelled and leave NOTHING I'm interested in watching...
DEPERATE HOUSEWIVES YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget the return of "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" on Food Network. Between that and "Minute to Win It", there's a lot of squeeing Guy Fieri fans out there. But my best watch is on the minor-league ION network, which just landed off-network repeats of James Woods's recent legal drama "Shark", which IMO got torpedoed more by the writers' strike than Paula Marshall.
"The Celebrity Apprentice" (NBC)
Amazing Race - you are never disappointed!
It's next sunday's premiere that I'm anxiously awaiting ... BREAKING BAD!
