Clear your schedule (or don’t — we see you multitasking) and let’s break down everything worth watching from early morning binges to late-night cliffhangers.

🌙 Early Morning Streaming Fix

3:00 AM ET — The ’Burbs

Peacock

Insomnia wins again. Peacock drops all eight episodes of its new darkly funny suburban thriller in one go. A picture-perfect neighborhood, a very un-perfect new neighbor, and a spiral into paranoia that escalates fast. Keke Palmer leads a stacked cast in a story that proves cul-de-sacs are never as safe as they look.Watch with the lights on. Trust us. Check out our review here.

🐾 Midday Heartstrings & Puppy Chaos

12:00 PM ET — Great American Rescue Bowl

Great American Family

Two hours of rescue pets, emotional backstories, and a very real risk of you Googling “local shelters near me” by the end. It’s wholesome, heartfelt, and engineered to make you cry before lunch.

2:00 PM ET — Puppy Bowl XXII

Animal Planet • Discovery • HBO Max • TBS • truTV

The most adorable showdown on television is back. Team Ruff and Team Fluff take the field in a competition where every fumble is cute and every touchdown is life-changing.Pro tip: The kickoff special starts at 1:00 PM ET, because even puppies need pregame hype.

It’s Seahawks vs. Patriots, live from Santa Clara, and yes — it’s as dramatic as that sounds. Whether you’re watching for the football, the commercials, or the group chat commentary, this is the centerpiece of the night.And then there’s the Halftime Show, with Bad Bunny taking over the biggest stage in entertainment. Expect spectacle. Expect chaos. Expect the internet to argue immediately.

🎭 Primetime Drama & Cozy Comfort

8:00 PM ET — Miss Scarlet

PBS

Scotland Yard is on edge as Dylan Cooper lands behind bars — but don’t get too comfortable. A daring escape plan is brewing, and Blake and newcomer Detective Willows are in for a very long night. Classic tension, sharp performances, and peak Sunday night mystery vibes.

Peacock (Primetime Coverage)

Post-Super Bowl, it’s time to swap touchdowns for downhill speeds. Tonight’s lineup includes ice hockey, luge, alpine skiing, and cross-country skiing. Coverage continues on NBC once football wraps, because the sports marathon never sleeps.

🐄 Gentle Drama Hour (a.k.a. Emotional Stability)

9:00 PM ET — All Creatures Great and Small
