If the Super Bowl isn't for you, here are alternatives to the big game


The teams have been set, and all that's left is to actually play, or watch the big game, but what  if the Super Bowl isn't quite your cup of tea, or worst yet, your team didn't make it?

Don't fret, there is always something available with the hundreds of channels available on cable. And while the Seahawks and Patriots have been dominating social media, digging through, you can find something like a marathon of your favorite shows and movies.

USANetwork staple Law and Order: SVU will be on all day with the "Benson Bowl."

The big green guy Shrek will be featured on TBS.

Syfy will have a monster movie marathon all day long.

Trekkies will be set with BBC America and its plans to run Star Trek: The Next Generation all day long.

Don't forget the annual tradition of Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl and the spin-offs other channels have come up with.
