Puppy Bowl Becomes Adorable Super Bowl Competition

The Super Bowl is still the big game on Super Bowl Sunday, but some puppies are beginning to carve a niche for themselves on Super Bowl Sunday. Animal's Planet holds the fifth annual Puppy Bowl on Sunday, to air throughout the night.

The Puppy Bowl is Animal Planet's counter programming to the Super Bowl. After airing in the mid-afternoon, the Puppy Bowl is replayed by Animal Planet for the rest of the night, during the Super Bowl. For animal lovers and those not into football, the Puppy Bowl has become a popular Super Bowl alternative.

The Puppy Bowl is basically a two hour event of puppies carrying out toys in a miniature football field. But Animal Planet is going all out for it, as the Puppy Bowl even has referees, a national anthem sung by a bird, a kitten halftime show, and Harry Kalas calling play-by-play.

The Puppy Bowl began in 2005, as a modest little stunt from Animal Planet. But the Puppy Bowl actually caught on before long, as the puppies enchanted viewers and camera inside the puppies' bowls put viewer in the middle of the mini-gridiron. After the initial success in 2005, the Puppy Bowl became more extravagant, like the Super Bowl itself.

The Puppy Bowl even started managing to upstage the Super Bowl halftime show with its own halftime activities. Basically, it had kittens playing on trees and stands for about a half hour.

With the kitties being significantly younger than the recent Super Bowl halftime entertainment, and more active, Animal Planet was onto something. The Bissell Kitty Half-Time Show is now a permanent part of the Puppy Bowl.

The Puppy Bowl soon attracted tail-gaters from the animal kingdom, as pets started watching the Puppy Bowl outside Animal Planet Stadium in Puppy Bowl III. The Puppy Bowl even started going into HD last year.

This year, fans everywhere are getting ready for Puppy Bowl V, checking out the starting lineup of puppies, and predicting who will be this year's PetSmart MVP.

As usual, all the competing dogs in the Puppy Bowl were taken from Petfinder animal shelters and rescue groups, as are the kitty halftime performers.

While some people may still prefer Lingerie Bowls as alternate-Super Bowl entertainment, even half-naked women can't run around with little toys as cutely as the stars of the Puppy Bowl can.

The Puppy Bowl airs at 3 p.m. Eastern on Animal Planet, and replays throughout Super Bowl night.
