We’re not suggesting that you wouldn’t want to watch NBC’s coverage of Super Bowl XLIII, which begins at 9 a.m. ET Sunday with a special two-hour Today from Tampa; continues at noon, with the Road to the Super Bowl special; kicks into high gear at 1 p.m., with a five-hour pre-game show that includes interviews with President Obama and halftime performer Bruce Springsteen, as well as performances by Journey, John Legend, and Faith Hill; finally gets down to business at 6 p.m, with the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers taking the field and Jennifer Hudson singing the national anthem; and concludes with a special hour-long episode of The Office. But shouldn’t you, here are some TV alternatives.
ABC: Wipeout Bowl I: Cheerleaders vs. Couch Potatoes (airing at halftime, and again immediately after the game): The title says it all. As do the results of an EW.com poll showing that 67 percent of our readers plan on sticking with Springsteen and The Office, which will feature guest stars Jack Black and Jessica Alba. (Twenty-four percent said they’d watch Wipeout at halftime and The Office post-game. Six percent said they’d watch Wipeout whenever possible. Only three percent said they’d watch Springsteen at halftime and Wipeout after.)
Animal Planet: Puppy Bowl V (on repeat, from 3 p.m. to 5 a.m.): Pepper the Parrot performs the anthem; kittens handle halftime, and a Chinese Crested ‘Naked’ dog streaks.
A&E: The Sopranos (noon until 4 a.m.)
BBC America: Doctor Who (3 p.m. to 8 p.m.)
Bravo: Law & Order: Criminal Intent (6 p.m. to 2 a.m.)
CMT: Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Daddy and Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy (2 p.m to 10 p.m.)
Discovery: MythBusters (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Jesus: The Complete Story (a three-part special, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.): I just like that juxtaposition.
DIY: Bathroom Renovations and Bathtastic! (7 a.m. to 3 a.m.)
FX: Chick flicks (Little Black Book, 2 p.m.; Maid in Manhattan, 4:30 p.m.; 13 Going on 30, 6:30 p.m.; The Devil Wears Prada, 8:30 p.m.)
Hallmark: I Love Lucy (8:30 a.m. to 3 a.m.)
Oxygen: America’s Next Top Model (11 a.m. to 11 p.m.)
Sci Fi: Ghost Hunters International and Ghost Hunters (9 a.m. to 1 a.m.)
Spike: CSI (noon to 4 a.m.)
SPEED: Pimp My Ride (1 p.m. to 3 a.m.)
Style: Clean House (noon to 3 a.m.)
TBS: Chick Flicks (Clueless, 11:30 a.m.; My Best Friend’s Wedding, 1:30 p.m.; Failure to Launch, 3:30 p.m.; What Women Want, 5:30 p.m.; My Big Fat Greek Wedding, 8 p.m.)
TLC: Dateline: Real Life Mysteries (1 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and sex documentaries (Forbidden Love: Polygamy, 7 p.m.; My Husbands Three Wives, 8 p.m.; Anatomy of Sex, 9 p.m.; Mother Knows Sex, 10 p.m.)
TNT: The Closer (noon to 11 p.m.)
USA: House (11 a.m. to 4 a.m.)

THE BRUCE CAN GO TO HELL. I WILL BE TURING THE CHANNEL DURING THE SB HALFTIME SHOW. THE BRUCE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT BASH PRESIDENT BUSH FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
GIVE OBAMA A CHANCE? GO TO HELL.. I AM GOING TO LAY INTO HIM JUST LIKE ALL YOU LIBERALS DID BUSH FOR EIGHT YEARS.. YOUR PATHETIC..
I’ll be watching the House marathon on USA except for when the post-Super Bowl episode of The Office is on.
nobody cares about this list…
Steelers are going to the Superbowl…SIXBURGH!!!!
Wow, what an intelligent comment.
My advice to xinunus is the following:
1. Please unlock, remove and destroy your “caps lock” key. You have demonstrated that you lack the responsibility to use it responsibly.
2. Please do offer your criticism. It is our patriotic duty as Americans to call out our politicians when we think they are wrong.
By the way, Bush was wrong, but I don’t expect you to see it that way. After all, he only got us into two out-of-control wars, tore up the Constitution and piloted us into the second-biggest economic disaster ever.
Wow, I agree with unlocking the CAP LOCK, it’s rude. You sound like you blame Bruce Springsteen for all of George Bush’s issues. That’s pretty funny. Bush made mistakes, big ones but it’s time to move on!
You make it sound like it’s ok to bash Obama. I don’t get it, he’s only been president how long? Sounds like a big case of sour grapes to me.
Maybe you should just take a deep breath and enjoy the SB and Bruce, after all it’s only entertainment! A lot of use gave Bush a chance, he screwed up, the voters spoke, we got over it, so should you!

No marathon of To Catch a Predator?
Come on!
Don’t forget the Toilet Bowl on DIY. Bathroom Renovations all day long.
I hate football in general and the Super Bowl in particular. Not even the commercials are all that interesting to me. Fortunately, I have a DVR full of programming to watch in its place.
Cap locks = crazy. Look into Xanax. It helps.
A Doctor Who marathon and then a super-size The Office?!? That’s heaven on earth for me!!
Nothing is better than football, however, I’m not looking forward to the haltime show. Did the NFL place a new rule that since the Janet Jackson incident all halftime performers must be at least 45 years of age???
Anyone else think MSNBC advertising “Predator Bowl”, a marathon of “To Catch a Predator” specials to be in very bad taste? Nothing like linking the Super Bowl to sex predators, especially when your sister network is COVERING the Super Bowl.
so you’re saying there IS an opportune time for a predator marathon? (yes, any night other than super bowl is PERFECTLY fine!)
Ah, the Puppy Bowl. Have sat through 3 years of it with my kids. Not willingly, however.
Yes, I love puppies, but even puppies get dull after about 15 minutes.
I am playing video games while the husband watches the game
Food Network is showing a marathon of wedding cake challenges. Probably way more suspenseful (and yummy) than the Super Bowl game.
PBA Bowling on ESPN today at 2PM.
i think mitilda will win

So, to ABC, that $#!% is worthy of airtime, but the last three episodes of Pushing Daisies aren’t?
