The second day of all-out, all-day March Madness begins just after noon ET on CBS, and continues throughout the day, hopping among various networks. CBS starts with the first tip-off, Cincinnati vs. Iowa, followed at 12:40 p.m. ET by truTV (Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma), 1:30 p.m. ET by TNT (Texas Tech vs. Northern Kentucky), and at 2 p.m. ET by TBS (Kansas State vs. UC Irvine). And that’s just the first four games. Before the night is over, a dozen others follow.

THE CHINA SYNDROME & NETWORK By David Bianculli

TCM host Ben Mankiewicz and his guest for this month-long Thursday night tour of movies and the media, Carl Bernstein, hold court over another prime-time celebration of some of the cinema’s best movies about the media. Tonight, for its leading double feature, the focus is on television news, with two more outstanding films – and two films that proved eerily prescient in their choice of subject matter. The 1979 drama The China Syndrome (8 p.m. ET), which depicted a nuclear reactor app

BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE By David Bianculli

Tonight’s TCM prime-time lineup is a rather fanciful scheduling conceit, collecting films with Alice in the title. But that’s more than enough excuse to replay 1969’s influential, and at the time somewhat controversial, Paul Mazursky movie about the swinging suburbs. The title roles are played, in order, by Robert Culp, Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould, and Dyan Cannon.
