Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl was perhaps the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. I stumbled upon it accidentally and was instantly hooked (the cute Frenchie has surprisingly little to do with it). The whole thing was like a three-hour canine Seinfeld episode, where basically nothing happens but it's entertaining nonetheless.
And may I just add that here is no way that Bandit was the MVP. What's up with that? The freakish little thing spent the whole time trying to hump one of the other dogs (I think it was poor Amos). Itsy the Frenchie, who had much more style and finesse, came in 4th. Poor Its!
