Next Week in Music | Feb. 3-9 • On TV

Looking for some sports-free entertainment? Your options are somewhat limited.

Grammys, Shmammys. Next week is all about the Super Bowl, baby! The annual gridiron orgy takes over the airwaves starting Monday, with umpteen hours of programming devoted to stadium-sized snacks, football-themed parties, outrageously expensive commercials and (of course) how it all affects Taylor Swift. Somewhere it there, Kendrick Lamar will perform at a halftime show — and undoubtedly do something that will prompt a wave of outrage and countless FCC complaints (joke’s on you, racists; if that agency hasn’t already been shitcanned along with the rest of your government, it will be soon). Looking for some sports-free entertainment? Your options are nearly as limited as the average NFLer’s post-career prospects. Here’s the roster:
