Would a brick TV stand withstand the weight of a TV?
Bricks will easily withstand the weight of the TV. What you may need to worry about is the floor withstanding the weight of 2 feet of bricks under the TV. Since you don't mention the size of the base, it's difficult to know exactly how much weight we are talking about, but a 2 foot stack of bricks is a considerable load. Brick weighs roughly 120 lbs per cubic foot, so a stack 5 feet by 1 foot by 2 feet would weigh 1,200 lbs and exert a floor loading of 240 lbs/square foot (plus the 60 lbs for the TV divided by the area of the base - another 12 lbs/square foot if the base is 5 feet x 1 foot, so 252 lbs / sq ft.)

Residential floors are usually deigned for loadings more like 40 lbs/sq ft, so that's a pretty severe load. While it's similar to 5 large guys all standing in a line, the 5 large guys don't stand in one place all the time, nor usually quite that close to each other. If your floors are concrete slabs, this may not apply to you.

A much lighter support will easily hold up a 60 lb TV, and can be made of wood, or milk crates, or even rigid foam plastic. A 2ft high bookcase or "sofa table" would probably work fine.
