The Winter Olympics will feature the popular women's figure skating this week before closing ceremonies Sunday.
Otherwise, most broadcast networks are opting mostly for repeats. CBS is bringing back its 24th edition of "The Amazing Race" while GPB concludes the current season of "Downton Abbey" on Sunday.
And in the late-night wars, Jimmy Fallon officially takes over "The Tonight Show" on Monday night, followed by the debut of Seth Myer's talk show.
Fallon's opening week includes guests such as Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Will Smith, U2 and Michelle Obama.
