Today marks the start of March Madness here in the US, which means TV will be taking a break for basketball. But that doesn't mean we have to take a break from TV!
Welcome to the first annual TV Chit Chat TV Madness! So what does this mean, you ask? Well here's how it's going to go. The bracket pictured below (click for full size) features the top 64 TV shows as published by TV Guide as of this week (minus reality shows, which are going to get their own special mini-game).
Starting March 17, shows are going to battle it out in their round "playing" the game via your votes. You will get until midnight of the second day to vote as many times as you want for your show to make it to the next round. The 64 shows will be taken down to 32, and a new round/game will start. New polls will go up for the next two days, and you'll vote again. 32 shows will become 16, then 8, then the Final Four, and lastly, the final two shows will duke it out to become the 2011 TV Chit Chat Champion!
So get those voting fingers ready, print off your own bracket (the one below will be easier on your printer ) to choose your winners in each round, and see if you can pick the champion! The winning show will be featured on TV Chit Chat's background for one week.
Good luck to all the shows, and may the games begin!
