Thursday Watch List: MARCH MADNESS!

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV that may be worth staying in and dining on that leftover corned beef that you dyed green. Not so appetizing now that you’re sober, is it? LET’S GO!

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT – 12:10PM-12:00AM EST (CBS)

Ah. The finest sports day of the early year. A chance to sneak out of work and indulge in 12 hours of nonstop basketball lunacy. Is there any better feeling than escaping the office, getting to the bar with all the other truants, seeing four games going on at once, and ordering a tasty beer with the largest appetizer they’ve got? I submit that there is not. Dig in, gang. It only comes round once a year. ANTICIPATION: MADNESS!

PARKS AND RECREATION – 8:30PM (NBC)

Andy Samberg guests stars. Can Andy be funny in anything other than a three-minute digital short? Surely, this will be an improvement over “Hot Rod”. ANTICIPATION: CRAZY DELICIOUS

THE MARRIAGE REF – 10:00PM (NBC)

Martha Stewart guest judges. Because when you think comedy, you think Martha Stewart. This argument is nothing a little handcrafted set of napkin rings won’t fix. ANTICIPATION: VERY BAD THING

PROJECT RUNWAY – 10:00PM (Bravo – An NBC/Universal network)

I was stunned that Ben got the boot last week. He seemed to be one of the stronger contestants and then BOOM! Gone. Now I have no clue what to think. I gotta imagine Jay is the favorite. He’s just so darn nice!

Again, they let a model speak last week, and it was horrible, clearly designed to pimp the show that airs right afterwards. Lame. If that show can’t stand on its own, let it die. Don’t continually pollute Runway with this. I don’t care about the models, and I never will. ANTICIPATION: CATTY!

FLASHFORWARD – 8:00PM (ABC)

The show returns after a lengthy midseason hiatus. Still odd seeing Joseph Fiennes carrying a gun. Doesn’t he have delicate love scenes with Gwyneth Paltrow to film? ANTICIPATION: CONFUSING!
