2016 NCAA March Madness TV schedule

March 14, 2016 Ryan Berenz

CBS has televised the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament championship game for 34 consecutive years, but that streak will end this year as Turner Sports has exclusive coverage of the title game at NRG Stadium in Houston on April 4. As part of their 14-year agreement with the NCAA, CBS and Turner Sports alternate coverage of the Final Four and National Championship games beginning in 2016. Turner airs the games in even-numbered years, while CBS gets odd-numbered years, through 2024. Turner has had exclusive coverage of the Final Four for the past two years, so college hoops fans have had some […]

truTV takes on #CasualTeachers in “Those Who Can’t”

February 5, 2016 Barb Oates

A trio of Denver-based, whip-smart standup comedians banded together about five years ago to form the comedy troupe The Grawlix. Finding success with their combined mojo, Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy and Andrew Orvedahl took their talents offstage in the form of web shorts, which eventually led to the creation of their first TV pilot, Those Who Can’t. The series premieres on truTV Thursday, Feb. 11 at 10:30pmET/PT and is the first scripted comedy to be added to the network’s lineup. truTV has made the first two episodes of the series available to stream now. Those Who Can’t is ridiculously LOL […]

David Spade gives folks their 15 minutes of Fameless on truTV

July 24, 2015 Lori Acken

Some people will do anything for their 15 minutes of televised glory and David Spade plans to prove it. Spade is the star and co-executive producer of Fameless, truTV’s latest addition to its growing sketch/prank comedy stable (see also: Impractical Jokers, Friends of the People and The Carbonaro Effect, all of which are back with new episodes this month, too). On the eight-episode summer laugher, wannabe reality stars believe they’ve been cast in a new unscripted series — perhaps an American Idol style talent competition, perhaps a Survivor-esque endurance test. In the meantime, their costars — a team of seasoned improv actors […]

March Madness: NCAA Selection Sunday 2015 TV special on CBS

March 14, 2015 Ryan Berenz

Recruit. Rebuild. Win. Repeat. It’s a vicious cycle in college basketball, but one that Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari seems to have mastered. Calipari won his first (and the school’s eighth) NCAA championship as a head coach in 2012, then lost six players to the NBA Draft. The following season, UK missed the NCAA Tournament entirely. In 2014, a young Wildcats team got it together in the postseason and reached the championship game as a No. 8 seed. This season, with few NBA defections and stars Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Dakari Johnson returning, UK again has […]

Branson Famous episode 6 recap: Ready or Not

February 2, 2015 StayTuned Staff

This week’s episode of Branson Famous, entitled “Ready or Not,” features a boob job (well, talk about a boob job) and a marriage proposal (well, talk about a marriage proposal). I didn’t find it as funny as last week’s episode (“The Brangelina of Branson”) but it didn’t disappoint. Let’s start with the aforementioned breast augmentation (which sounds way nicer than “boob job,” but to be fair, I think “boob job” is the acutal term they used in the show). Breezy wants one. Backing up a bit here, I think it’s unfair that her parents named her Breezy, though I know […]

Interview: Lucy Biggers of truTV’s Breaking Greenville

January 29, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

truTV’s new series Breaking Greenville, described by the network as a “comedic docu-soap,” brings a docuseries approach to the often-comical behind-the-camera workings of real-life local news stations in Greenville, Miss., in the delta, one of the smallest markets in America. The result is sometimes almost too crazy to be believed, at times resembling a situation from the Anchorman movies, but, if you’re familiar with local news, some of the personalities and activities chronicled in the series may not be surprising. No matter how large or small the market in which you watch your news is, you’ll probably recognize some of the characters, from the way-too-chipper morning […]
