None of the scripted shows, comedy or drama, aired after the Super Bowl have ever gotten a ratings boost from it like the reality shows have, so I'm not sure why people think it matters. Criminal Minds, House, The Office and Glee were the last scripted shows to air after the game, and none of them saw any effect. The…

Or just go to Best Buy and get an HDTV antenna for ten bucks. That's what I did and I get ABC, NBC, Fox, MeTV and three PBS stations free and great quality on my HDTV. Every cable and international show I want to watch I get online, plus I have Netflix. I'm never at a loss for things to watch.
