Staying In

        TV picks: For all you folks throwing Super Bowl XXXV parties: Kick-off is 6:25 p.m. (Channels 12, 7). For those of you doing Survivor parties with or without rat on the menu, the premiere is expected to air about 10:30 p.m., after the postgame celebration.

The Goods: (What's in stores today)

        Deal 'em out: Well, didn't it just have to happen? Survivor makes the jump from TV to your game room.

Oh, and a rule book that you should read before cocktail hour. It's that complicated. Anyway, the game is the same idea as the show: Get rid of the other castaways. It's $9.99 (booster packs, needed to add two more players are $2.99) from www.upperdeck.com starting Monday, or in stores as soon as Upper Deck can get them shipped.
