Tune into this tail-gate party for fur-filled fun

Like most Americans, I’ll be tuning into the big game this Super Sunday in the hopes that there are many great spills and thrills as the players lay it all out on the football field in an anything goes battle for grid iron bragging rights.
I’m talking, of course, about Puppy Bowl IV, the extraordinarily entertaining Super Bowl alternative on the Animal Planet Network.
Here’s some pre-game hype:
Tired of the same old Super Bowl™ pre-game show? Looking for some excitement before the opening coin-toss? Before the big men in pads take the field for their gridiron battle, watch some players that are ready to rumble and “ruff” their way to victory. We’ve traded in linebackers for labradors and quarterbacks for corgis and we’re releasing the hounds for PUPPY BOWL IV on Sunday, February 3, from 3-6 p.m. (ET/PT).
From baby beagles to mini dachshunds to mixed breeds — viewers are in for a fantastic lineup that’s itching to play in a winning combination of tackles, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The renowned Harry Kalas, voice of NFL Films, returns to call the play-by-plays of this year’s game.
For all the feline fans, the Bissell Kitty Half-Time Show is back! The lively kittens show off their moves on a glittery stage and chase each other around the field. Tom Petty’s performance has nothing on these tiny tabbies and cuddly calicos which prove that watching curious kittens batting around a toy mouse is all the entertainment you need. It’s the pick of the litter for halftime shows!
And this year, viewers are able to see all of the frolicking like never before. For the first time, PUPPY BOWL IV will be broadcast in high-definition, capturing all of the thrilling action of our cute and cuddly pups in stunning clarity.
The show’s producers have gone all out to make sure this year’s event is the most enjoyable yet. I especially like the water bowl cam, giving us a tongue-side view of the thirsty pups whetting their whistles.
So fire up some hot dogs, pour out some people puppy chow and prepare to enjoy a game that is guaranteed to be more furry and fun than that other one. It’s certain to be a tail-wagging good time.
