If you missed it, you can order the DVD on the Discovery Channel Web site. I think I’ll get two – one for us (our dogs were outside and missed it!) and one for my niece and nephew, whose daddy will probably never let them have their own puppy. So sweet! ---

Woah, I saw this thing as I was flipping through channels, and I thought to myself…“what the f_ck?!? You have got to be f_cking kidding me!!” It was the lamest thing I have ever saw. It was just a camera on a bunch of dogs in a mini-football stadium. I can’t believe people actually watched this, much less taped it. ---

I missed it myself, but I was that the new used bookstore that opened recently playing with puppies (the had a local shelter in with three puppies). If it’s repeated, I’d probably put it on. I’m a sucker for puppies. ---

It’s usually the most boring game of the season, and the only saving grace is usually the commercials. :rolleyes: ---

> [@foxymoron](#): > > I recorded a couple of hours of Puppy Bowl. My dog loved it! He was nosing the TV screen and trying to look around the back of the set to find the puppies. > > It might be time to get him a canine friend. My cats were looking at me like “can’t you turn this trash off?!” So, I had to comply lest they rise up in the night and commit horrible acts of plant vandalism. Still, I enjoyed the “poopy penalties”! 😃 ---

I figure most of the people who watched the Puppy Bowl were high on cough syrup. ---

Puppy Bowl? If you thought Janet Jackson exposing her boob was bad, think how many bare nipples the poor viewers of this program were forced to view! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/forget-the-super-bowl-tune-in-to-the-puppy-bowl/288693.md?page=1)
