What to watch: Sunday

After a Sunday primetime buildup over the last 10 or so years, choices seem limited tonight. But that's not necessarily the networks' fault. How can you compete with 24?

24 (FOX/8-10 p.m.): If you're a fan, you don't need me to tell you to watch it. After missing the first season, I'd made it a personal point not to watch this show until catching up on DVD. With 120 hours of the show prepped to burn out my DVD player, I've decided to watch this season anyway. If you're still planning on holding out, be prepared to surrender your Netflix account to Jack for an extended period of time in the future. He could use it to save the country... maybe by having all the terrorists watch a 90210 marathon, showing that Americans aren't all bad

MYTHBUSTERS (DISCOVERY/9 p.m.): The biggest geeks on TV are in marathon mode starting at 5 p.m. and running through the wee hours, but in the newest episode at 9 p.m. (it aired first on Wednesday), Adam and Jamie look into the famous, unsolved explosion of the Hindenburg at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station here at the Shore.

ROME (HBO/8 p.m.): With the hype behind the return of 24, you hear a lot less about this show. But it's back tonight, too. It's easier to catch in reruns throughout the week, though.
