Hey, Miranda Lambert sang good - a little too good, as a matter of fact.

The parade sucks to watch, but what it signifies! Spectacle! Tradition!

It's the same every year - Wife turns it up loud while she's in the kitchen creating a thanksgiving masterpiece. Nobody's watching it, and that's perfectly fine with me...

I heard that it is delayed this year because the woman from Macy’s who is in charge of the parade found out that the Santa was drunk, and she had to scramble to find a new one.

LOL! That would be a great plot for a Christmas movie!

Thanks for the tip! I changed the channel and now I’m watching Hairspray.

There’s only one thing in the world worse than watching a parade on TV... watching it in person.

I heard a rumor the new Santa is quite dubious of the “progressive” school the daughter of the Macy’s lady goes to. Big step up, if you ask me.

I understand. The same idea that the Godfather films are about the family as much as gangsters. I respect that notion.

The way the network promoted Kinky Boots, though, focused less on any positive aspects and more on the sexual mores celebrated therein.

Jmho.

Yeah, what is he, some sort of an instigator?

I have family coming over today. That means I will turn on the TV around 12:30 so they can watch football. At the end of the day I will turn the TV off and leave it off for the next 364 days. This is how it has gone for me for the last fourteen years. Highly recommended.

They replaced Santa with a guy in a Pony Play costume in the interests of diversifying and reaching out to tradtitionally marginalized communities.

Yes, too bad the single mom lets her unsupervised daughter associate with unmarried adult men.

Who smoke, even!

Most parade coverage has devolved into two hour long commercials of the latest insipid shows and perverted pop culture crap. Oh, and in between you see some floats and hear some marching bands.

That is exactly why we aren't watching it this year. The tv is off. Everyone else is sleeping in and won't be up until dinner.

The celebrity appreciate commercial is downright scary. What a collection of knuckleheads and misfits. Oh and Ahhhnold is the boss....oh boy.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the SO loves the waste of airtime parades and has it going.

I’ll play a round or two of World Of Warships.

If they just stuck to the parade, that would be fine. All these guest appearances from so-called celebrities is boring and tiresome.
