Bowls! Bowls as far as the eye can see!

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Sunday, February 1st. All times are Eastern.

Top pick

Fish Bowl II (Nat Geo Wild, 6 p.m.): Unto every generation, a puzzling new TV tradition is born. So if for some reason you missed Fish Bowl I (we can’t imagine why), we are here to tell you that this is exactly what it sounds like. Tune in to see a fish in a bowl, swishing to and possibly fro.

Also noted

Toddler Bowl (TLC, noon): This year’s slate of Bowls adds a new player that, again, is exactly what it sounds like. “Small humans engage in a series of competitions,” says the TLC summary. “Thank you for letting us know which channel to avoid,” says What’s On Tonight.

Kitten Bowl II (Hallmark, noon): This year’s players include Ferrell Owens, Tomcat Brady, Ryan Fitzcatrick, and Mr. Whiskers. We don’t like to issue public callouts, but get it together, Mr. Whiskers.

Puppy Bowl XI (Animal Planet, 3 p.m.): XI! Puppy Bowl XI! This millennium has had its fair share of garbage so far, but at least it’s realized the value of puppies crawling all over each other. Who said the revolution will not be televised?*

We feel like there was something else…..huh. Oh yeah:

Regular coverage
