Both you and Bogie missed the point utterly and entirely. We have been to games and seen the "Golden Girls", and they are terrific, nationally recognized to boot.
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was, originally, a parade to showcase the myriad groups, from all over the country, that had worked very hard to be included in this annual event. The celebrity "talking heads" were there to identify, and say something appropriate about, EACH and EVERY ONE of those groups as they passed.
However, it seems to have become pretty much an "infomercial" for various celebrities and their productions. In three hours, how many high school groups were featured? We saw but a handful.
This is once-in-a-lifetime event for kids, who worked exceedingly hard to get there, and whose families were watching for their sons and daughters to appear for a mere moment on national TV. How disappointing for them!
