Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Does anyone remember years ago when the Parade was a big event and they actually showed the marching bands, floats and balloons.? Now it is nothing but one long ad for NBC shoes and stars with inserts of performances from Broadway shoes that have nothing to do with any holiday. I no longer watch.

Re: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I've been flipping channels a lot. Started with NBC, but quickly tired of the broadway show presentations. Watched ABC (Philadelphia parade) off and on. The went to CBS who seemed somehow to be able to show the balloons!!!! Then, when I flipped back to NBC at 10:00, they were saying that the parade was now beginning. My guess: NBC is broadcast right in front of Macy's. Perhaps CBS was elsewhere. But way, way, way too many commercials.
