Attention everyone out in TV land: It's time to go green. Put down the remotes, pick up a Guinness and celebrate St. Patrick's Day. There will be parades in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, so tune into your local stations to watch the coverage.

Frak-rageous! It's the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. Geeks unite and tune in to see if all will be revealed (or if you have actually been a Cylon this whole time) during the two-hour episode at 9 p.m. on Sci Fi Channel.

Reunited and it feels so good-watch investigator Troy Dunn rejoin clients with long-lost loved ones in the second-season premiere of The Locator on WE at 9 p.m.

You may want to wear a cup while watching Sport Science host and human crash-test dummy John Brenkus get choked out by an MMA star, take an MLS soccer ball to the head, get flattened by an NFL lineman and catch an MLB line drive with the family jewels. On second thought, let's just hope Brenkus has his on. The grueling second-season premiere airs at 9 p.m. on Fox Sports Net.
