Google Trend: Puppy Bowl
Number 64 on Google Trends yesterday was a search for “Puppy Bowl”. The Puppy Bowl is an annual event on Animal Planet, where for three hours puppies play and run around on a fake puppy-sized football field with a number of toys. There is an in-water bowl camera, a referee, two MVPs, and a kitty halftime show, and it’s consistently the most popular show on all of cable TV during the Super Bowl.
Puppy Bowl IV was last night, and I’m sorry I missed it. Me and the wife like to watch the pups go at it during halftime, especially when guys we aren’t that interested in, like Tom Petty or Mick Jagger are performing, but our cable system never carries the big “game”. No one ever seems to put the Puppy Bowl on bit torrent, and DVDs are $15 ($10 each for Puppy Bowls I-III, $20 for all three, and $7-13 on Amazon), so that might be an option*.
So, did anyone else watch the Puppy Bowl yesterday? The video highlights seem to indicate the best Bowl yet. The early ratings indicate the Puppy Bowl was a huge success for the fourth year in a row.
* - on the other hand, this was the first Puppy Bowl in High Definition, and there’s no Blu-Ray/HD-DVD option, so maybe I’ll wait. Or I could call Animal Planet and try to convince them to put it on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace… This is sad.
