PBSL/TV Guide 2003
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 5:09 pm
My data derived articles have been receiving a cold response lately so I've decided to lighten up a bit. What could be more fun than TV in 2003? The answer to that is probably TV in just about every other year but nonetheless, here I go. I've categorized the teams around the league using 2003 TV shows and based on my view of their current state.
American Idol
Celtics
Nets
Bucks
T-Wolves
These teams all feature a wealth of young talent all vying to become superstars. Those that succeed could go on to be the next big thing or they could spin their wheels eternally, promising a talented future and never achieving anything greater than a compliment from Simon Cowell.
CSI
Raptors
Spurs
While investigating the tragic crimes against their young dominant PFs, the defending conference champs realize that they really don't care because they still dominate the league like the CSI dominates the TV ratings.
ALIAS
Bulls
Cavs
On the surface these teams look beautiful but they only pretend to seduce you before torturing you to death. They live a double life, looking good on paper but being bad in practice.
Everwood
Sonics
Suns
GMs leave behind past successes and move to new towns to start new lives. The struggles they face will make them second guess their decisions.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Nuggets
Pistons
If you've ever seen this show, you know that "Extreme Makeover" is code for "Blow it up and start over again." The same can be said for these two "rebuilding" teams.
Gilmore Girls
Hornets
Nick battles with the struggle between his elite past and his promising future. He needs to look to the future but he can't afford to (note missing next draft pick). Will he fall back to his old standby, the handsome Tom Gugliotta?
Smallville
Kings
In a small country town, one super human young man tries to carry the weight of the entire community.
Survivor
Rockets
Spurs
Jazz
Grizzlies
Mavericks
Five teams battle for Midwestern glory but only one will survive and claim the glory. Who will it be?
The Bachelor
Heat
One promising young man must find his soulmate(s) to help him lift his team out of obscurity.
The OC
Lakers
A young man with a troubled background is thrust into the world of high society and wealth. Can he stay out of trouble in his new life. The initial results are good.
American Dreams
Magic
Pacers
A young woman comes of age during turbulant times with great success, tackling tough issues like interrace relationships, birth control, 60s pop music, and. . . Wait, what am I talking about?
The Apprentice
Wizards
Warriors
Clippers
Blazers
These are good teams but even when they do well, the prize isn't much of a prize because they'll never be top dog. Always a bridesmaid. . .
The West Wing
Hawks
This team (show) operates on a completely different level than the rest of the teams (shows) on this list. It is consistently refined, smart, and successful.
Two and a Half Men
76ers
Two and a half men. Yup. That pretty much sums up this roster.
Without a Trace
Knicks
Every season is the same with the Knicks. Someone is missing. Where are the Knicks? What are they doing? Nobody knows.
American Idol

Nets
