 OSCARAMA Sorry, no Ben vs. Steve showdown, but there's other suspense over their films "Argo" and "Lincoln," among many contenders for "The <a href="/topics//Academy_Awards">Oscars</a>" (Sunday 8:30-11:30 p.m., <a href="/topics//ABC">ABC</a>/7). Psych yourself up with pre-fare that includes "Countdown to the <a href="/topics//Academy_Awards">Academy Awards</a>" (1:30 p.m., E!), "On the Red Carpet" (5 p.m., WABC/7), "Live From the Red Carpet" (5:30 p.m., E!), "Live From the <a href="/topics//Academy_Awards">Oscars</a>" (6 p.m., WPIX/11), and the official "Red Carpet Live" (7 p.m., <a href="/topics//ABC">ABC</a>/7). After-party options include "E!

Blogs and buzz at <a href="http://oscar.com" target="_blank">oscar.com</a>. 
 NOT INTO MOVIES? Then what to watch Sunday instead of the <a href="/topics//Academy_Awards">Oscars</a>? Maybe a tribute to a source of stars: "<a href="/topics//Saturday_Night_Live">Saturday Night Live</a> in the 2000s: Time and Again" (9-11 p.m., NBC/4). Sitcom laughs stack up in "<a href="/topics//The_Big_Bang_Theory">The Big Bang Theory</a>" (8-10 p.m., WWOR/9) and "<a href="/topics//Two_and_a_Half_Men">Two and a Half Men</a>" (8-10 p.m., WPIX/11). The tube and <a href="/topics//The_Movies_(musician)">the movies</a> mash up in 1995's send-up "<a href="/topics//The_Brady_Bunch">The Brady Bunch</a> Movie" (9 p.m., Nick at Nite). Plus there's the marathon "reality" of "Duck Dynasty" (8 p.m.-4 a.m., A&amp;E) before Season 3 launches Wednesday night at 10 (following that day's 3-10 p.m. catch-up). All things dynasty at <a href="http://aetv.com/duck" target="_blank">aetv.com/duck</a>. 
 TYPO ALERT The first time I typed the title of "<a href="/topics//Celebrity_Wife_Swap">Celebrity Wife Swap</a>" (Tuesday at 8 p.m., <a href="/topics//ABC">ABC</a>/7), the third word came out "Swamp." Which somehow seems more right than wrong. Anyway, this season return switches Playboy's <a href="/topics//Kendra_Wilkinson">Kendra Wilkinson</a> with mom-plus-eight Kate Gosselin. More at <a href="http://abc.com/shows/celebrity-wife-swap" target="_blank">abc.com/shows/celebrity-wife-swap</a>. 
 COMPARE AND CONTRAST It's a comedy cast reunion! Jason Lee, Jaime Pressly, Ethan Suplee, Nadine Velazquez and Eddie Steeples guest on "Raising Hope" (Tuesday at 8 p.m., Fox/5), the current show run by Greg Garcia, who also created the series they starred together on, "My Name Is Earl" (weekday mornings at 7 and 7:30, TBS). Watch the latter encoring online or on-the-go via <a href="http://tbs.com/mynameisearl" target="_blank">tbs.com/mynameisearl</a>. 
 UNSCRIPTED PREMIERES WWE star Chris Jericho hosts the self-explanatory competition "Robot Combat League" (Tuesday at 10 p.m., Syfy). Legless thrillseeker Kevin Michael Connolly takes us globe trotting in "Armed &amp; Ready" (Tuesday at 10 and 10:30 p.m., Travel). Hang with an up-and-coming singer and his Pittsburgh entourage in "Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family" (Tuesday at 11:30 p.m., MTV2). Mark Wahlberg produces the docuseries "Boston's Finest" (Wednesday at 9 p.m., TNT), riding along with Beantown police. Participants in the psychological experiment "Stranded" (Wednesday at 10 p.m., Syfy) shoot their own footage during a week in a haunted location. "Hacking the Planet" (Thursday at 8 p.m., Weather) shows scientists trying to prevent or redirect all kinds of natural phenomena: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions.
