I hope there will be a Kitty Halftime Show this year.

Kodiak, Janet, and Kira. SO CUTE.
― ENBB, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 19:50 (2 years ago) Permalink
hallelujah!
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!

xpost really? i thought that went on way too long last year
― impudent harlot, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 19:51 (2 years ago) Permalink
and COLT!!!
Yeah, I thought so too but I don't like cats so figured that was why.
― ENBB, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 19:52 (2 years ago) Permalink
i thought it was hilarious! the kitties totally didn't get along. lots of hissing. NB i have 3 cats (me = cuckoo), and 2 don't get a long, so it was sort of a "better you than me, sucka" situation.
also, i want to kiss this puppy on the head:

srsly, everytime mr. pike had on an nfl game, i would proclaim, "i wish puppy bowl were on!"
i love the dude "bruin" in the first pic. he looks like he wants lots of hugs.

I can't believe Pike watches NFL. The South/his dad is rubbing off on him.

He does. Lots. He love the Titans but often proclaims that they're a bunch of "bums."

oops - its not "it's" xpost to self
Mind you, I knit a lot (i.e. all the time), so I'm usually on the couch anyway, so whatever is on, is on. He watches A LOT of hockey now which is b/c of me. I even ordered the fancy hockey package from cable so I can have my constant rustbelt connection.

two things i'm not looking forward to: kitty halftime (yawn) and the deluge of abused animal commercials apl runs during the whole program. i have to leave the room or else i get depressed and tearful.

this is biff (my large cat) watching the kitty halftime show:

IIRC, I ended up crying last year during the commercials, and I didn't even have PMS.

my bf found me sobbing in front of the tv once during the ugly dog show because one of the contestants had a heartwrenching backstory.

I can't watch "Animal Precinct" anymore. The show ends with me summoning my cats to the couch while I sob and proclaim, "I'll never turn you out!"
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:36 (2 years ago) Permalink
all of those animal police shows are bad news. and that new one about the "last chance" rehabilitation facility/shelter? i started tearing up during the credits (the credits!) and banned myself from watching it.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:38 (2 years ago) Permalink
whenever animal cops has some heartbreaking rescue that ends with "the animals were feral and had to be euthanised" i get really upset.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:40 (2 years ago) Permalink
in the only animal rescue show i watched, horatio (great dane found running wild) had to be euthanized at the end bcz he was too aggressive. the camera showed him going into the kill room! that was my first and last experience with that genre.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:42 (2 years ago) Permalink
ok, i should stop being such a downer on the puppy bowl thread. yay puppies!
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:44 (2 years ago) Permalink
I used to volunteer at a city animal shelter, and I magically didn't adopt any pets while I was there. I don't know how I did it. I have one really sad story, which I will refrain from telling. But, I will tell you that when these two older cats that came in together (older cats generally didn't get adopted) got adopted by this cute couple, all the cat volunteers cheered and teared up a bit. It was great!

Walking the dog is the best thing about having a dog!!! It forces you to get some exercise and it makes the dog so happy! (Actually v good for me as a depressio as he gives me incentive to get out of bed, ie having to take him out to potty.)

don't get me wrong, puppies are pimp as hell and all, but the thing that sucks about the puppy bowl is that there's no events, no commentary, no production - it's just puppies chilling out in a plexiglass arena, for HOURS. i don't get it!!!! they don't DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! FUCK

here's what you do with puppy bowl -- put on a record, get a book and put the tv on mute. periodically look at the puppies. get a snack. read. look at the puppies and squeal. read. repeat.

Puppy Bowl VI will air on Animal Planet on February 7, 2010.[4]
also
The running time of Puppy Bowls I-IV was 180 minutes (including commercials). The running time of Puppy Bowl V was decreased to 120 minutes (including commercials). Jessie Dinh, Producer, Discovery Studios, explained the reason for the decrease: "We only did two hours this year so that we had the opportunity to include some other fun elements."[5]
