Edward Burns returns to his Long Island roots in the nostalgic series “Bridge and Tunnel” (Epix, 9 p.m.), about a group of old pals trying to find their place after college in 1980. For most, that means hanging back at their parents’ homes (and in particular their backyards), reigniting old flames and such.

Burns, who was behind such films as “The Brothers McMullen” and “She’s the One,” also appears as the dad of one lovestruck character and there is an appeal to some of them. But it plays like an East Coast “Entourage” and its soft rock soundtrack is relentless.

Super Bowl teams will be chosen by the winners of today’s NFC championship of Tampa Bay at Green Bay (Fox, 3 p.m.) and the AFC championship of Buffalo at Kansas City (CBS, 6:30 p.m.).
