MORE THAN EQUAL

On Sunday, THE EQUALIZER retained 40% of the SUPER BOWL post-game show’s total audience, well above the retention for both “24: Legacy” (29%) in 2017 and “Elementary” (33%) in 2013. This was the best post-game retention for any scripted show since the half-hour “New Girl” telecast in 2014 (40%) and best hour-long scripted retention since “Glee” in 2011 (41%). The second episode of THE EQUALIZER airs Sunday, Feb. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

LOST” AND FOUND

Henry Ian Cusick and Jorge Garcia, castaways together on “Lost,” reunite when Garcia (as his “Hawaii Five-0” character Jerry Ortega) appears on this Friday’s MACGYVER at 8:00 PM, ET/PT to help the Phoenix Foundation infiltrate a terrorist cell they have been tracking.

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES

On tonight’s B POSITIVE at 8:30 pm ET/PT, a depressed Drew begins to question if all his sacrifices are worth it after missing Maddie’s soccer game due to dialysis:

DREW (discussing with Gina his recent doctor visit):
He thought I should be on a "healthy kidney diet."

GINA:
What does that mean?

DREW:
No dairy, no red meat, no salt, no potatoes, no sugar – I call it the "stay away from everything that tastes good diet."

GINA:
Well, at least we can still eat my favorite vegetable. Caramel corn.
