Maybe that Super Bowl commercial from Radio Shack was on to something: The ’80s are back. What to watch while donning your big hair and shoulder pads:
“Jeopardy!” (weeknights, 7 p.m., Ch. 7)
The game show’s battle of decades features the 1980s this week, although Mama thinks it would have been funnier if they had made the contestants wear the same clothes and hair styles they did when they originally appeared. Nevertheless, it’s still fun to watch these trivia titans, who reigned before the five-win limit was ditched. The winner of this match will face off against the winner of the 1990s battle, which takes place next month, and the champ of the 2000s battle, also known as Ken Jennings.
“Rake” (Thursday, 9 p.m., Fox)
The case-of-the-week series starring the likable Greg Kinnear snags professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. He rose to fame the first time back in the 1980s when he turned pro at 14 years old, but the 45-year-old can still be expected to twist out the dare-devil stunts — might not hurt to keep the ice packs and ibuprofen nearby, though — when Kinnear’s Rake promises young Finn (Ian Colletti) that Hawk will come to his school’s auction.
“Hart of Dixie” (Monday, 8 p.m., The CW)
JoBeth Williams — best known as the pot-smoking mom molested by a “Poltergeist” back in 1982 or the unhappy housewife Karen in 1983’s “The Big Chill” — is back as Zoe’s (Rachel Bilson) overly critical mom. She’s in town for Zoe’s birthday, which is not the surprise the Bluebell doc was hoping for.
“The Fosters” (Monday, 9 p.m., ABC Family)
Annie Potts — she of ’80s icon “Designing Women” — returns as Stef’s (Teri Polo), sweet but meddling mom, whom we last saw cleaning up Stef and Lena’s (Sherri Saum) wedding.
Oh Baby: There are few things that make Mama happier than reporting that former “Deadwood” co-stars are getting to work together again. But to reunite Bill Hickok with the man who shot him? Priceless. So stay in and warm yourself by the TV set with “Raising Hope” (Friday, 9:30 p.m., Fox) as Virginia (Martha Plimpton) surprises her hubby with a dude ranch trip. While there, Burt (Garret Dillahunt, who portrayed “Deadwood’s” killer Jack McCall) confronts a crazy cowboy played by Keith Carradine — who was Wild Bill during his short time on the HBO series.
