I'm sure everyone here agrees that showing sports brings in a lot more money and bigger ratings for a network than a regular series does. So why not just put those ridiculous March Madness games in primetime and call it a day? These endless runovers are absolutely beyond aggravating, especially for those setting their DVR for the shows that follow. 

Case in point: Sunday's March Madness games on CBS. They aired two of them. One started at 2 PM. The next one supposedly began at 5 and was supposed to be over at 7 PM. 

As if that would ever happen. 

This Sunday was no different. 60 Minutes began sometime around 7:35 PM, delaying all the shows that follow. It means that CBS' primetime shows will run until just before midnight, when the local news finally makes an appearance. 

Can they not just show the games in primetime, put the new episodes in the can until the tournament is over, and call it a day? I'm sure the college contests will have great ratings after 8 PM and those of us who don't care will be able to watch the shows we want on time in future weeks. 

These endless run-overs are, to me, the most aggravating aspect of broadcast television. Whether it be the NFL, the NCAA or golf (which, to be fair, could never be played in the dark) none of them ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever end on time. So just show it after 8 PM and those who want to watch other programming will come back when you can put it on in its original timeslot. 

Everybody wins and most of us get to see the end of our shows. Instead of trying to perfom endless calculus to figure out when they start and end. What is the point of beginning a show at 10:33 PM on a Sunday night? Your audience not only likely won't stay up that late with Monday awaiting, but they miss the ending and your affiliates lose their news advantage. 

Enough already! This post will now go over an extra 34 minutes, so you'll have to come back and read it later. And you will probably miss the endi-------
