March Madness Dominates the TV Airwaves: Anything Else On?

Now that March Madness has descended upon us, fans will have hundreds of hours of great, heart-stopping basketball to watch on TV.  For many of them, the next time they'll see daylight won’t be until April 5^th. 

But what about the sports fanatics who are not into Dr. Naismith’s creation?  What are they going to watch?

Here are some potential counter-programming ideas for the networks that could appease these non-basketball fans.

The Brian Wilson Zone

The Brian Wilson Zone:  Submitted for your approval, take one relief pitcher, a baseball and a cerebral  cortex that defies logic.

March Madness Men

March Madness Men: Set in the fictitious ad agency of Dribble, Dribble and Dribble, this one-hour drama follows the life of a talented young creative director who dreamed of one day playing in the NBA. 

There was just one thing stopping him: talent, ability, skill, coordination and height.

Gleeatle

Gleeatle:  It's the show that features a nonstop parade of bad song and dance acts. 

For many, it will remind you of the current negotiations, or lack thereof, between the NFL owners and the NFL Players Association.

Dancing with the NASCAR Stars

Dancing With The NASCAR Stars:  If you thought learning the Paso Doble was tough, try keeping in step on the high banks of Talladega while wearing a sequins-encrusted, fire retardant, driver suit.

Two and a Half Defensemen

Two and a Half Defensemen:  Take two diverse defensemen, a wise-cracking kid and a whole lot of wackiness and you have the formula for 30 minutes of fun.
