WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 8 - FEBRUARY 14)

Catchy Comedy has a Mayberry RFD binge this weekend.
With the Super Bowl airing tomorrow night, Fox will (of course) be using the postgame slot to highlight a series, and rather than a hit scripted series or highly anticipated debut, they've chosen the game show The Floor.
As previously mentioned, a new 24/7 channel dedicated to Tom and Jerry has launched on YouTube.
