Things I Hate About TV: March Madness

NCAA basketballI don't think there's anything I look forward to less than this two week period in March when CBS subjects us to non-stop college basketball action. Not the Olympics, not root canal surgery. And it's not even the basketball that bothers me, it's that it's college basketball. I mean, unless you go to the school or went to the school, who gives a *&#%?

And it's one of those events where people who ordinarily have no interest in college basketball all suddenly join in and bet money in various pools. They become pseudo experts, and become obsessed with scores and matchups and who's playing who and when and what happened and what the score is and everything else. And all the other networks have news stories about the games, my local paper covers it as if it's the Super Bowl (it's not, sorry), and everyone just sort of tries to force it down our throats. Ugh.

It's funny, but I don't even watch that much on CBS, now that I think of it (Letterman, maybe one of the Monday night comedies, Survivor), but this two week interruption still bothers me.
