NickDG 23 #1 November 23, 2006 I grew up a half block from Central Park West in New York City and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade was a very big deal every year. While I'm sure the guts of the parade are still intact it seems NBC (I'm on the other coast now and watching on TV) seems to have turned it into a shill for Broadway shows and a vehicle for washed up TV personalities – Up next Martin Short . . . Oh boy! Gee, just stick a camera on the sidewalk and let us watch the parade go by! And in a place like New York City, full of very colorful characters who could narrate the thing we get the, "Today" show? Congrats NBC, you managed to turn the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade into a real turkey. Oh, wait minute - The Rockettes are on - Okay never mind the above - gotta go !!!! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Man, it sucked that it was raining on the poor girls. Maybe we could volunteer to towel them off after the parade. That would be a nice thing to do, right?
