Five dog and trainer pairs compete in three events for glory and a $5,000 prize for the animal charity of their choice.

The Puppy Bowl is an annual television program on Animal Planet that mimics an American football bowl game similar to the Super Bowl, using puppies. Shown each year on Super Bowl Sunday, the show consists of footage of a batch of puppies at play inside a model stadium, with commentary on their actions. The first Puppy Bowl was shown on February 6, 2005. The puppies featured in the Puppy Bowl are from shelters, and the show contains information on how viewers can adopt rescued puppies and help their local shelter.

Modeled after the TLC show "Four Weddings", this competition series follows four homeowners who are invited to preview, critique and score one another's homes for the chance to win $10,000 as well as be featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. The hourlong episodes feature design-proud homeowners hoping to impress the other three competitors with their decor and style choices, which are graded -- often with frank and harsh opinions attached -- using an overall impression score out of 10 and ranked for originality, style and livability. The homeowner with the highest score wins the grand prize.
