Sitcom Stars Tournament Pick'em; Bloopers Tomorrow on ABC

Jacksonville's Florida Times-Union is having a NCAA Tournament Pick'em style vote for 64 of the best sitcom characters of all-time from The Fonz to Jack Tripper to Fred Sanford to Archie Bunker, the best of the best are here. Round 1 just concluded, and the results were counted. There were some upsets — No. 3 seeds Jethro Bodine (beaten by No. 14 seed Maxwell Smart) and Will Smith (beaten by No. 14 seed Gilligan) both went down — but all of the top seeds advanced, and The Fonz showed that he's still got it, pulling in more votes than everybody but Archie Bunker. 32 characters are left now, so you can still pick and help 16 characters advance to the sweet 16. Click here to vote. Among the match-ups include two classic match-ups in Bracket A: Ted Baxter vs. George Jefferson and Barney Fife vs. Mary Richards. Bracket B has an All in the Family match of Archie vs. Edith. Bracket C has a match where both underdogs advanced in Jack Tripper vs. Gilligan. And Bracket D also has an underdog match-up with Felix Unger vs. Maxwell Smart?
Who will make it to the Final 4? That is up to us to decide. I personally think these four: Barney Fife, The Fonz, Jack Tripper, and Lucy. I'm going with The Fonz and Tripper over top seeds Archie and Homer. We'll see what happens! Go and pick!

And it is mid-March and most of our favorite shows are on hiatus or in repeats, so what better way to watch new programming than in bloopers? ABC has a special called Celebrity A-List Bloopers airing tomorrow (Saturday, March 17) from 8-9PM ET/PT. The special is hosted by John O'Hurley (Dancing with the Stars, Seinfeld, Family Feud). See bloopers with stars like Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn, Paris Hilton, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, plus the cast of According to Jim will be on hand to share some bloopers.
The special is on a Saturday, so finally something new on that night.
Also airing on Saturday on TV Land is the 30th Anniversary marathon of Three's Company starting at 8pm. A 24-hour salute (should have been 30 hours really) that will run until 8pm Sunday.
