Super Bowl Sunday is not for everyone and although the sport can be avoided all season, this day is the one-day that may be tough to avoid football related television. In fact, the day, which normally is just “Sunday,” is renamed “Super Bowl Sunday.” Just because everyone will be talking about commercials, half time shows and the game itself, doesn’t mean you have to be locked out of television for the day.
This Sunday will also feature, puppies, kittens, PBS Masterpieces, Mystery blizzards and other television entertainment for your non-sport related viewing pleasure. Here are 10 other programs to watch on Super Bowl Sunday.
Be sure to check your local listings for exact time slots.
10. Puppy Bowl X
For those who can look beyond the sport aspect and simply enjoy puppies frolicking around a miniature football field. The Puppy Bowl features as mentioned, puppies, a kitten half-time show and penguin cheerleaders. The show will air at 3pm on Animal Planet.
