  • Two-hour program; see it before or in place of the regular Superbowl
  • Human referee ("Puppy foul - roughing the Retriever"; "Excessive cuteness on the field")
  • Water Bowl Cam on the "ten-yard line"
  • "Tail-gaters"
  • Hamster-steered blimp
  • New slow-motion Cute Cam
  • Hedgehog cheerleaders
  • New puppy hot tub
  • Kitten Halftime Show
  • Sideline reporter "Meep the Bird" tweeting live updates (@MeepTheBird)
Livestream "locker room" Puppy Cam

I also watch it, and I have it set up to record, so I don't miss anything!

Lizardlady, The Puppy Bowl is an event on the Animal Planet network that airs the same time as the SuperBowl, as an alternative choice. It's puppies playing and running around, with a humorous announcer calling the "game." There are also special moments with kittens, hamsters and Meep the Bird (a cockatiel)!

You can find out more at http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/puppy-bowl but here's the "About" page info:

The biggest event on all fours is back! Puppy Bowl returns for its ninth consecutive year with an all-star, all-adorable cast that's ready to mix it up on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium. Puppy Bowl IX brings viewers a loveable lineup that's itching to play in a winning combination of terrier tackles, touchdowns, puppy penalties, fumbles and Fido first downs. Featuring fan favorites like the Water Bowl Cam, tail-gating fans, and the hamster-steered blimp, this year's big game is sure to be a tail-wagger. For the first time ever, viewers can see slow motion replays with the new Cute Cam. And be on the lookout for the hedgehog cheerleaders. Also, don't miss the debut of the puppy hot tub, where puppy players can cool down after tearing up the field. From barking beagles and spunky spaniels to everything in between, we've got the cutest players taking the field on the most action-packed Sunday of the year. Plus, back for another year is the popular Bissel Kitten Halftime Show, guaranteed to bring the house down! And, sideline reporter "Meep the Bird" will return to tweet live updates throughout the game. Follow @MeepTheBird on game day for the latest news, puppy penalties and behind-the-scenes moments from inside the stadium.

What did everyone think of this year's Puppy Bowl who watched it? I wasn't crazy about some of the changes they made....the cuts to the other Animal Planet stars kind of annoyed me and I missed the referee calling fouls (like ruff play) LOL

Thoughts?
