It’s time for the Kitten Bowl!
What, you thought we were gonna blog about that other game?
For the second straight year the former Kitten Bowl has been renamed the Great American Rescue Bowl, and will feature puppies as well as kittens. It’s moved from its former home at the Hallmark Channel to the Great American Channel, but retains its hosts, its partnership with the North Shore Animal League, and most importantly its adorable furry participants.
You can catch the Great American Rescue Bowl at noon eastern, making it a convenient watch whether you’re headed to a Super Bowl Taylor Swift Bowl party later in the day or you care not for sporting contests that don’t feature four-legged athletes.
If you don’t get the Great American Channel as part of your cable package or you’re a cord-cutter, you can stream it for free on fubo.
While the kittens and puppies are adoptable, this year also includes three special young cats — Meowi Wowi, Hana Lulu, and Surfin Sammy — who were displaced by the Hawaii wildfires of August 2023.
And if you’re hosting a party today and you need a last-minute addition to your menu, Buddy has kindly offered to share his recipe for Buddy’s Extra Turkalicious Turkey Wings:
- Turkey wings for guests (24) and for Buddy (48)
- Turkey sauce, 2 cups
- Buddy’s BBQ Turkey Seasoning
- Turkey bacon
In a large bowl, mix the turkey wings with the turkey sauce, then arrange the wings on a non-stick pan and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Glaze with additional turkey sauce. Garnish with turkey bacon. Goes great with your other favorite turkey-based snacks!

I’m sure you’ll realize it when you actually look at the “recipe,” but it’s a joke. If Buddy were a chef I have no doubt his dishes would be absolutely disgusting.

That was pretty good in the early going but got progressively more ridiculous with each episode. Wasn’t a fan of the extended scene of brutal violence toward a cat either. I’ve been a fan of Mike Flanagan since his first zero budget indie film and I loved his Doctor Sleep director’s cut, as well as Hill House, but he’s gotten so repetitive.

I knew what was going to happen to black cat so i fast forwarded a bit. I get this is a tv show but still disturbs me.But what Flanagan did was genius. Putting big pharma into story. I have one more episode to watch tomorrow. The Usher family are monsters. I guess Verna is the Grim Reaper? Not sure but i rooted for her to kill these horrid people.I think Poe would of liked this.

The real life family is called the Sackler Family of Purdue Pharma. Unlike the Ushers they got a relative slap on the wrist for what they’ve done, they’re still ridiculously wealthy and they’re the most successful drug dealers in human history.

What I found most disturbing was that after we moved into the 2000s the number of movies/shows that contained violence against cats shot up aggressively. Only sick individuals watch shows of that kind and I guess it shows that the World has raised a bunch of foul, disgusting hoomans.

It’s too bad they moved it to a channel we do not get. (I see fubo requires you to sign-up.) However, Diego (RIP) participated in THREE Kitten Bowls and even has his own trading cards:

When it was on the Hallmark Channel, they invited cat owners to create their own trading cards. They had an online form to fill-out. All you had to do was complete it and upload a photo. Voila!

Did not know about the Sackler family. They also had Verna in old photos with Monsanto family. People who have caused harm in one way or another.And the disgusting animal testing. Was thrilled chimp killed that pos. Verna represented what happened to chimps. So not sure if she was grim reaper.

From what I remember they showed her in images with a whole bunch of different historical figures who caused mass death or misery.
I’m not sure if she’s based directly on something from an Edgar Allan Poe story or if she’s just supposed to be the visual embodiment of the “deal with the devil,” but I think the banality of evil is a lot more terrifying. People didn’t have to make Faustian pacts, they just had to rationalize their actions and dehumanize their victims.
IRL the head of the Sackler family pushed doctors to say Oxycontin et al were not addictive, and pushed the medical community to prescribe as much as possible in the highest doses they could get away with, for the sole reason of increasing profits.
He knew precisely what he was doing was going to destroy people and families, and he did it anyway.

Yes. That part with bodies falling while Usher looking out was genius. Oxycontin. One patient at chiropractors office used to take that for severe back pain. I remember when i first saw her.You can tell she was suffering from pain.4 visits to chiropractor and no more back pain. No. Chiropractic care cannot fix all back issues. She comes there once a month now.
