This image did not reach consensus in the Image Suggestions thread. Any ideas?

I kinda got what this one was going for, but the user who suggested it said that they thought that it could need an explanatory caption, which I do think would help.

I don't think that's this trope. [tdown]

Not illustrative, and also blurry. [tdown]

I chose it because it did fit the trope, though the quality's not great. I took it from the examples section. It fits this part of the description:

In response, the other networks may not even try to compete for ratings and instead look for the least expensive way to fill that airtime. Often, this means reruns of a popular show, a movie marathon, or something else with extremely low production costs.

There's probably a picture we could find of a schedule comparison between an obviously important event, like the Super Bowl, and a cheaper show playing at the same time. Or promo images with the same timeslot. So I don't think BUPKIS is necessary.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I can't find it now, but I remember a TV schedule from immediately after 9/11 being suggested before.

Keet cleanup

This is a parody of a right-after-9/11 TV schedule. Didn't expect it to look that bad at wiki size, even after converting it to a png.

Here's where it's from.

[up] Specifically, it's from The Onion.

Even if we could take a legible snippet from that, I don't think it's clear enough.

Anybody have a promotional image for the Super Bowl vs. the Puppy Bowl? Like this vs. this? Or this (maybe cropped in the middle) vs. this? The idea is that the dates are the same, to illustrate them competing for airtime.
