What could you be watching on TV besides the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is perhaps the only time of the year when the TV remote goes untouched for hours. But just in case you need to know, what's shakin' on those other channels during the game?

NBC: "Pitch Perfect." This might be the most tempting counterprogramming of the night. We know you have a crush on Anna Kendrick. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to flip over during the riff-off. 

FOX: It's mostly animation -- "The Simpsons," "Bob's Burgers" and "Family Guy." Love them, but we'll be honest: Are they any more animated than Cam Newton?

ABC: "America's Funniest Home Videos." A boy visiting a safari park has his cellphone stolen by an ostrich. If that happened to an NFL coach, he'd probably think Bill Belichick was behind it. Oh, and somebody gets hit in the crotch.

Comedy Central: "Pineapple Express." In case that Super Bowl commercial wasn't enough Seth Rogen for you.

A&E: "Hoarders." If you can't find the remote in order to change the channel, you might be one.

ESPN: "30 for 30: I Hate Christian Laettner." You've really got to hate him to switch over in the middle of the Super Bowl. But imagine if he were on "America's Funniest Home Videos" and got hit in the crotch. That'd be bigger than the Puppy Bowl.

TLC: "My 600-Pound Life." No Eddie Lacy jokes, please.

FYI: "Married at First Sight." "The couples tackle intimacy issues." Not what you think. It's about sharing a bathroom.

MTV Live: "Bonnaroo Backtracks." For those who feel they need an antidote to Coldplay at halftime, Metallica and Pearl Jam are featured.

Encore: "Terms of Endearment." Another reason to cry other than that your team lost.

IFC: "Saw III." When they get to 50 of these, will they drop the Roman numerals?
