BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Various Networks, 12:00 p.m. ET

The majority of today’s second-round games include teams that are double-digit seeds, which means quite a few brackets have been busted already. CBS begins today’s coverage with three consecutive games, beginning at noon ET with No. 2 Villanova vs. No. 7 Iowa, which gives way at 2:30 p.m. ET to one of the day’s best Cinderella contests, No. 14 Stephen F. Austin against No. 6 Notre Dame. TNT begins its coverage at 6 ET with a showdown of two Cinderella teams: No. 10 Syracuse vs. No. 15 Middle Tennessee. TBS joins the party at 7 ET with No. 13 Hawaii facing No. 5 Maryland, and TruTV comes aboard at 7:30 p.m. ET with No. 11 Northern Iowa vs. No. 3 Texas A&M.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

LIVE SPECIAL: A musical drama recreating the last days of Jesus Christ on Earth, using mostly modern and rewritten songs and broadcast live from New Orleans – what could possibly go wrong? Tyler Perry narrates and hosts this TV musical special, based loosely on a Netherlands production two years ago (pictured), and the stars are Chris Daughtry as Judas and Jencarlos Canela of Telenovela as Jesus Christ, with Trisha Yearwood as Mary and Seal as Pontius Pilate. As the program progresses, and a 20-foot cross is dragged outside the Superdome, no doubt Fox executives will be praying – for big ratings.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s been such an insane political campaign for the presidency this year, I can’t stop recommending this show. It’s become too valuable a weekly recap, and too entertaining a TV program.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode was another intense nail-biter – and things still aren’t safe. But boy, as the confrontation between the two settlements continued, the walking dead barely seem to be viable threats any more. It’s the other humans you have to fear most of all. And that, pretty much, has been the theme of this zombie apocalypse show from the start.
