Animal planet's puppy bowl

Cute & weird? ? ?

I was just watching a few minutes of Animal Planet's take on the Super Bowl football game, the Puppy Bowl. The puppies are abseloutely adorable, but the whole show is just the puppies walking around, drinking water, pawing each other, all while in a playpen with a mat on the bottom made to look like a football feild. I was exactly planning on watching it anyway, but I noticed they made a lot of hype over it. Don't know why they bothered.

And has anyone else noticed that The Planet's Funniest Animals isn't funny anymore? Actually, to me, it stopped being funny a long while ago.

Of course, I still love Animal Planet. ''That's My Baby'' and ''A Pet Story'' and ''Amazing Animal Videos'' are great, but the Puppy Bowl? To me that was just weird- with cute puppies.  :p
I haven't watched it, but I did kinda wanna see it, just to see the puppies. XD One of them lookd just like my friends dog! Anyway...I don't think I'll be watching it (TV seems to be taken at the moment) but, yeah, it did look...er, odd. I thought they'd have something more to it.

The Planet's Funniest Animals is still on, I'm sure. Maybe they just moved the times around or only show it on weekends.

I love Animal Planet too. X) Animal Precinct all the way!
They had a slowmotion recap of a dog biting another one???  One of the dogs a got a touchdown! Yay! This is stupid and boring. LOL!
Lol- yeah. The Planet's Funniest Animals has been playing again lately. Well, I say 'again' but chances are I just wasn't catching it at the right time. That was definetly it. Anyway, I LOVE Animal Precient! All their ''Animal Cops''-type shows are amazing. I hate seeing the neglected, abused critters, but it's so good to know that there are people out there stopping it. :D

Well, I guess I wasn't the only one watching it.  I was watching a bit of it before.  It's pretty cute.  I thought the german shepherd mix and goldens were cute.  :)

Yes, I love "That's my Baby" "Animal Precient" "Animal Cops: Detriot" "Animal Cops: Miami"  and "Animal Miracles".  I think all those shows are the best.  Especially when it talks about Dogs and Cats.  They're very cute :)
I watched that! Well a fair bit of it. My reaction was mainly:

Wolfy: ............o.O? I mean they didn't DO anything! o.o I thought it was going to be scripted, or have people make sad attempts at making the puppies to an obstical coarse or something. Still cute though......O.o made no sense to me.
Yeah, but they only do it once a year.  That's a good thing anyway.  I liked watching it for 5-10 minutes and all I saw was puppies just laying around or they are just playing with the toys.  But, I don't think they understand anything very much about people.  I saw a golden and a mix go up to the camera, and I thought that was very cute.
Been awhile since I watched Animal Planet, or any TV for the matter. I didn't see that puppy bowl deal, which I guess wasn't a total loss.

As for "Animal Cops," I can't watch it. It just makes me upset to see the crap some people do to their pets and expect to get away with it.
I watched all of the puppy bowl, thats right ALL of it! muhahahaha!!! I still don't know why though, I just sat there steering at the T.V. mindlessly. I even gave some of the pupies names, but I don't remember wich one goes to wich. Lets see I know there was a george, and a chris, and uhh a valentino, Oh yeah! and mr. fuu-fuu bunnie, but thats all I can remember :laugh:

I don't really like animal planet much anymore, because that they dont have much documentaries, unlike discovery channel.
