Instead of watching the Denver Broncos battle the Seattle Seahawks, you could spend the day with Betty White, Sherlock Holmes, Rick Grimes, or a litter of puppies. All times Eastern.
Yes, nearly everyone you know will be spending Feb. 2 elbow deep in seven-layer dip, either watching the Broncos and the Seahawks go head-to-head in Super Bowl XLVIII, or knocking back beers while ignoring the game and waiting for commercials.
But if neither of those things interest you, dozens of other networks are offering plenty of Super Bowl counter-programming options.
Here are your best bets for a still super, but non-football Sunday television experience:
The Walking Dead
AMC
Why: Because there's more testosterone in one episode of The Walking Dead than there is in the Seahawks' entire starting line!
When: 10 a.m.–12 a.m. on AMC
