Football, commercials and food. That sums up Super Bowl Sunday for 100 million people, but what about everybody else? As usual, cable networks are showing specials, stunts and marathons for people just like YOU. And it doesn't matter if you like Zuchons or zombies, you'll find something you like from these 95 Specials, Movies & Marathons to Watch on TV Instead of the Super Bowl:




5 SUPER STUNTS

PUPPY BOWL IX on Animal Planet (3pm - 3am): This year, 63 furry pups will battle for barking rights with a winning combination of terrier tackles, canine touchdowns, puppy penalties and fido first downs. For the first-time ever, a squadron of hedgehog cheerleaders will occupy the sidelines, rooting for their favorite players, while sideline reporter "Meep the Bird" returns to tweet live updates throughout the game. Plus, new Puppy Cam technology will bring viewers closer to the action with intimate "in-your-face" camera angles of dog snouts, waging tails and thumping paws. And the halftime show again features kitty gymnastics, furry acrobatics and overall kitten mayhem.


WIVES WITH KNIVES Marathon on ID (6pm - 5am): Super Bowl parties can get dicey when football rivalries turn friends into fanatic foes, but especially when the woman serving your game-day snacks is a knife-wielding femme fatale. So reach for your finger foods with caution, as you watch this marathon of Season 1 episodes.


BRING IT ON Movie Marathon on ABC Family (10am - 8pm): If CBS isn't showing the cheerleaders often enough for your tastes, then just change the channel and watch 10 straight hours of cheerleaders, as ABC Family presents four movies in the BRING IT ON franchise: ALL OR NOTHING, BRING IT ON AGAIN, IN IT TO WIN IT, and FIGHT TO THE FINISH.


Celebrity Beach Bowl 2013 on DirecTV (9am - 12:30pm; 1 - 4:30pm): DirecTV repeats this event twice on Super Bowl Sunday after airing it live on Saturday at 1pm from New Orleans' SuperFan Stadium (at Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World). The following celebrities and football greats are scheduled to play: Katharine McPhee; Neil Patrick Harris; Peter Facinelli; Rob Riggle; Snoop Dogg; Chace Crawford; Josh Hutcherson; Nina Dobrev; Maria Menounos; Scott Porter; "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit models Chrissy Teigen and Hannah Davis; Kevin Fraser; Rocsi Diaz; Ian Somerholder; Jenny McCarthy; Matt Bomer; Jesse Williams; Artie Lange; NFL Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and Warren Moon; former NY Giants Jesse Palmer, Michael Strahan and Amani Toomer; Heisman Trophy-winner and NFL great Eddie George. Immediately following the game and trophy presentation, international superstar Pitbull will take the stage for a live concert.


WALKING DEAD Marathon on AMC (3pm - 4:30am): Besides feeling like a zombie after eating too many Super Bowl snacks, you can get your WALKING DEAD fix two different ways. During the game, you can watch a commercial for Time Warner Cable, which will feature Norman Reedus from the WALKING DEAD. Plus, to get ready for the show's return on February 10th, AMC is airing a marathon of the first six episodes of this series, as well as the first two minutes of the next new installment.
