Baby Bowls
Posted Fri, 01/31/14
Two telly alternatives to Super Bowl XLVIII:
Kitten Bowl: According to Hallmark, "The 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! All of the kittens participating in the competition are guaranteed forever homes through Hallmark Channel's partnership with North Shore Animal League 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."
Puppy Bowl X: According to Animal Planet, "The biggest event on all fours is back! Puppy Bowl returns for its tenth 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 X 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. This year's big game is sure to be a tail-wagger. 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! Puppy Bowl wouldn't be possible without all of the adoption agencies and organizations who pack up their pets and travel from far and wide to help us create the biggest game on all fours."
Luckily, the bowls are being broadcast on different television channels so hopefully I can watch a bit of both.
