I noticed that Macy’s Thanksgivings Day Parade was coming on channel 5 this morning so I decided to take a look at it. Of course it was somewhat subject to the weather, not in NY,NY but here. The weather can cause my reception of channel 5 to fade in and out.

However, from what I did receive, it appeared that I didn’t miss that much. It seemed to be about one part parade and two to three parts celebrity hosts. For sure, the camara spent more time on the hosts than the parade. The hitch is, the pictures of the hosts didn’t change all that much, while the parade was always changing.

My summation of the 10 minutes I watched, it was a very long egotistical advertisement. I am sure those that were there saw much more of the parade, even if they had to stretch necks a little to see it.

It is a shame. When I was a kid, we could actually watched the parade, though it was in B&W. Still better than watching today in color.
