So far it hasn't disappointed. Another classic CBS production.

Almost 30 minutes and no parade yet. Some BS from the hosts, a crappy song from Sting, a tribute to the Estabans, and a play that had a song about Sticking it To the Man.

I love the holidays.

I never watch it. I hate parades.

You never watch the Thanksgiving day parade on CBS. The contract is with NBC. They have the better coverage. That’s been the case for at least 50 years

I suspect a heavy dose of fear mongering by the hosts regarding our new President Elect...

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.

When you’re with your girlfriend you’ve got to at least pretend you’re enjoying yourself.

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.

Never been much of one for watching parades - except while in the military where I participated in a good number.

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...

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

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.

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

It always sucks!
It’s for kids!

If you want adult entertainment, wait for the dog show!

They can't even spell parade correctly.
