In TV News...

  • Yesterday's Super Bowl may have been the most-watched game ever. Additionally "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle" episode of Glee was the top-rated scripted telecast of any TV show in the past three years. It beat out the post-2009 Super Bowl episode of The Office. [TV Squad]
  • Great casting: How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders will play Maria Hill in The Avengers. [Movieline]

  • Last week when Howard Stern was on the show, David Letterman casually mentioned that he'll only be doing two more years of the Late Show. Here's an insider-y tip: he said the same thing when I worked at the show three years ago. Do the math! And let's keep our fingers crossed that as long as there's a Leno on the air, there will always be a Letterman to counteract the unfunny at 11:35pm. [Splitsider]
  • The family of Amanda Knox is legally petitioning to make it so that the Lifetime movie about their daughter (which stars Hayden Panettiere) will never air. [TV Squad]
