Super Bowl Counterprogramming: What Else is On TV On Super Bowl Sunday?

Sure, nearly 100 million people usually watch the big game on Super Bowl Sunday, but what if you just are not that into this year’s match-up between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs?

Well, the other broadcast networks are all airing reruns of their normal Sunday night lineups, but there are plenty of other options for the non-football fans, like marathons of some of your favorite shows, or watching adorable baby animals frolic around Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl and Hallmark Channel’s annual Kitten Bowl.

Here’s a guide to the Super Bowl 2020 counterprogramming, from a Sex and the City marathon to a Breaking Bad marathon to new episodes of Doctor Who on BBC America, HBO’s original shows The Outsider, Avenue 5 and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sanditon and Vienna Blood on PBS, and The Circus and Out Cartoon President on Showtime.
