What will you watch tonight?

[FSogol]

And for folks who hit "other" and want to brag about how they got rid of cable or their tv, or how they hate sports because of their bad gym experiences in school, go for it!

1. Super Bowl live, Puppy Bowl repeat.

Kitten Bowl? I thought that was the Puppy Bowl halftime show?

[FSogol]

2. Nope, Hallmark channel decided they want the cash cow that is cute animal sports. Gotta go pitch

the 2015 "Ferret Bowl" to Oprah's network.

[tridim]

16. It's on right now! :)

[niyad]

20. a bit more to it than that:

About Kitten Bowl 2014
Sunday, February 2 at 12/11c

“Kitten Bowl” is the greatest feline showdown in cable television history. The competition will consist of two preliminary playoffs and a championship match. Along with basic obstacle courses of hurdles, tunnels, hoops, jumps, weave poles, lasers, lures and toys on strings, “Kitten Bowl” will feature clever locker room strategies, player profiles and “interviews,” and camera work and audio recordings from the athletes as they play the game!

This inaugural three-hour special event, in Association with North Shore Animal League America, will be hosted by TV personality and activist Beth Stern, and emceed by John Sterling, the legendary radio voice of the New York Yankees.

All of the kittens participating in the competition are guaranteed forever homes through Hallmark Channel’s partnership with North Shore Animal League America whose innovations in animal welfare have saved more than 1,000,000 pets – and counting! “Kitten Bowl” guarantees the 60-70 kitten participants will join the list of pets adopted into loving homes and will significantly raise the awareness of the plight of shelter animals across the country.

3. I'll be at a Super Bowl party, but if honestly could not care less.

I'll be there to see some friends, but other than that, I find pro sports a huge bore.

[FSogol]

5. I'm not a big football fan,* but I love any excuse to have food and beer with friends.

* I'm a big baseball and college basketball fan.

[Adrahil]

19. I don't really follow any sports, but agree, beer and food with friends=good

I see you're a Terp? When were you there? I was there from 1986-90.

[FSogol]

31. I graduated from UMD in 1994. n/t

[11 Bravo]

50. Did you guys ever go to any good couch-burnings?

[FSogol]

63. Is the statute of limitations up?

[snooper2]

4. I'm going to dig up threads from 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009

so people don't have to repeat themselves every year LOL

[FSogol]

8. C'mon. People love a chance to gripe and pontificate. n/t

[snooper2]

12. Yep, that is what the Intertubes are for

So random people can bitch about anything and everything...



That's why nobody posts how awesome their new washer is. Most reviews on anything are negative...

The Intertubes allow people to vent! At least animal kickings have gone down since the Internet

[FSogol]

32. Also why on DU: Christmas and Thanksgiving are the most terrible holidays and Walt Disney

and Woody Allen are history's greatest evil monsters.

[taterguy]

6. Other, none of your damn business

[lpbk2713]

7. I'll watch the game, skip the halftime carnival.

And if the game gets boring I'll probably watch a movie.

[Common Sense Party]

52. Who is the halftime travesty this year?

I haven't even heard.

[SMC22307]

9. I got rid of cable because of the expense...

is that OK with you? I'll be watching PBS.

[lumberjack_jeff]

10. Never watched "the puppy bowl". Help me understand it.

They put a bunch of puppies on a lawn, dress them up in uniforms or something, give them dog toys and anthropomorphize it into some sort of uber-cute sporting contest? As I understand it, this is a short program, that is played back to back for people who really must watch something on TV on Superbowl Sunday, but are avoiding CBS out of principle?

Advertisers then purchase air-time on this show and viewers purchase those products?

I get that lots of people are uninterested in football, or sports in general, but I don't get "the puppy bowl" as a) entertaining or b) effective protest or c) a better use of time than house cleaning.

Yeah, I got rid of my cable, so I'm watching the show at a friends house.

[LiberalElite]

22. There's a prerequisite -

you have to like puppies. I'm watching the Puppy Bowl because it's just mindless fun to watch puppies play.
P.S. They don't wear uniforms.

[democratisphere]

11. Channel surfing ALL THE BOWLS.

[Maeve]

13. Netflix

Never cared for sports, and living in the Columbus area, I get enough football from the OSU crowd; rather watch a good old movie

[ChazInAz]

14. Study my lines.

I have better things to do....like finish learning my lines as Harlequin in "A Company of Wayward Saints".

[rrneck]

15. I don't watch TV. Might stream a movie. nt

[niyad]

17. kitten bowl, downton and sherlock. is there something else on?

[northoftheborder]

43. all of above plus puppy bowl

[one_voice]

18. Football/Super Bowl

I love football. I hate when the season ends. It's just drabby cold weather after football. I start to get excited again around July.

Getting my stuff together for my fantasy team around then too.

I also like basketball and baseball but nearly as much as FOOTBALL....we've started watching soccer too.

[Sissyk]

46. i hear you!!

We are big sports fans. I, too, get a bit depressed with just the cold and snow after the SB.

But, we are (gasp!!) (everyone else close your eyes) Nascar fans so we got Daytona coming soon. Then, March Madness. Etc., etc.

Sports is year round entertainment.

[fizzgig]

56. football is the only sport i watch

i'm trying to remember what i do on sunday when it's not football season.

[LiberalEsto]

21. I will read a nice murder mystery

and ignore the game.

[spartan61]

23. Downton Abby on PBS

[frazzled]

24. Downton Abbey

Even though it's gotten kind of bad this year. But I don't watch football. Hubby watches it a little, but usually not a whole game. He'd pick Downton Abbey over the game, however.

I will watch the half time, though!

[FarPoint]

54. This is my pick too.

Agreed... This season feels dark and glum at this phase.

Plus, all other regular shows are repeats...The Good Wife is a rerun!

[Jamaal510]

25. I'll be watching the Stupid Bowl. eom

[Nevernose]

26. We're going to see "Flashdance: the Musical"

And I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.

[FreeJoe]

27. Nothing

I like sports and I haven't gotten rid of my TV. I just don't watch it very often and I have no interest in either of these teams.

[PDJane]

28. I won't be watching anything!

I'm going to settle down in the study with my son's cat and my needlework. I want to finish the tablecloth I have on the go.

Since I fell yesterday in the snow, I am not moving. I'm going to prop my leg up on the ottoman and sit. I may make some chai or rooibus tea, but that's it.

[elfin]

29. Packers not in it - don't give a sh#%^

Sundays are for PBS, HBO and Showtime with DVR Doing double time.

[Mojo Electro]

30. I'll watch the game.

I'm making tacos.

[Brother Buzz]

33. This West Coast football enthusiast is watching the Superbowl in the late afternoon

I've got another installment of An Idiot Abroad penciled in for my evening schedule.

[ZM90]

34. I'm continuing my 100% run through of Xenoblade Chronicles tonight. I don't care about the

Super Bowl.

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

35. Why, THIS, of course!

[FSogol]

36. Awesome photo. Welcome to DU, btw. n/t

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

37. Thanks!

[Spirochete]

38. The Super Bowl

because I have no cable, and that's the only thing my TV has access to. Besides, I have to pull for my state team to win...

[wandy]

39. A cold winters night with too much snow here and more on the way...........

Time for a visit from the Dingus.

[shanti]

40. another vote for downton abbey

along with the 25 other shows on my dvr that i've not gotten around to watching yet. i like some sports, it's just that football isn't one of them.

[madokie]

41. What do you mean

The super bowl. To day I'll be putting on some country style pork ribs on the big green egg using our own special blend of herbs and spices. Let them cook in a covered corning ware dish for about 4 maybe 5 hours and I'm here to tell you they will melt in your mouth. I'll be using Pecan wood for smoke.
I'll start off with the dish uncovered for the first 30 minutes to get a good smoke flavor then I'll cover them and let them cook at about 200 degrees for the duration.

My wife enjoys the game as much as I do. She played in the band and was a baton twirler in high school. We really enjoy the games.

[world wide wally]

42. I'm going to play "Dark Side Of The Moon" and see if it really works out in perfect

timing with the game.

[Initech]

64. Money so they say is the root of all evil today...

Please post the result!

[ZombieHorde]

44. Other: I work tonight.

Football isn't my thing anyway.

[Ichingcarpenter]

45. Those Secret UN Black Helicopters around my ranch

after that darn meteor landed in the back forty.

No TV...but I'm watching.Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Crow and Tom Servo on you tube.

[FSogol]

48. I've been rewatching MST3k on netflix streaming.

Best show ever.

[TexasProgresive]

47. Downton Abbey & Sherlock

My TV seems to go stupid when it shows football so I have to be careful.

[Dirty Socialist]

49. I Have No Choice

Gotta watch the Super Bowl. Everybody at work is.

[loyalsister]

51. Law & Order reruns

I still like the original and I've forgotten most of the episodes.

[shenmue]

53. All of them!

Mostly puppies and kittens, but I won't miss the football either.

[aristocles]

55. Downton and Sherlock

[IDemo]

57. I'll divide my time

between a motorcycle ride if we hit the mid-40's, and a long dog walk.

[fizzgig]

58. i am so excite for football

super bowl is a family holiday but it's been a long time since we've had a dog in the fight. but this broncos fan knows better than to get her hopes up too high.

[Warpy]

59. That poll demonstrates a lack of imagination and is a not so subtle insult

to anyone who isn't on the rah-rah wagon for football.

Good work making us even more contemptuous of the whole thing.

[solarhydrocan]

60. Top Gear UK is back tonight

one of the most popular TV show in the world. ~350 million viewers per episode

[txwhitedove]

61. TWD Zombie Bowl, then switch to Downton Abbey for the new episode.

[KansDem]

62. "Other"

And I played over 11 years of organized sports from age 8-19: baseball, football, track/field & cross country; and college handball, so I like sports. I just prefer to play than watch someone else play.

My idea of a good time "watching" sports is to attend a track & field meet. There's always something going on! Always something to watch. And I prefer to watch "live" since TeeVee does such a lousy job covering track & field meets.

And "yes"--we got rid of cable in 1996, so tonight, I'll be watching a selection from our DVD collection...

[Initech]

65. I'm going to be watching the Superb Owl.

(credit goes to Stephen Colbert for that one!)

[City Lights]

66. Anything but the "Super"bowl.

[NaturalHigh]

67. I'm flipping back and forth.

Super Bowl and Law and Order SVU. Super Bowl is getting less and less interesting, though. I was pulling for the Broncos only because I can't stand Pete Carroll, so 29-0 has pretty much killed my enthusiasm.

[Vashta Nerada]

68. The Walking Dead marathon and Sherlock.

[A HERETIC I AM]

69. Other: DU.

OK...I have it on...but I'm over here in front of the 'puter, OK?

[femmocrat]

70. Downton Abbey

I did catch the Puppy, Kitten, and Fish Bowls earlier today.

[SteveG]
