I could go to the theater and see that. Plus a lot of the broadcast is taken up with interviewing actors and plugging their television shows.
Bah Humbug. But happy Thanksgiving!

I love the NBC coverage of the Macy's parade. The TV cameras are in front of Macy's. The floats and bands do not get to Macy's until 10am and then they will be shown. The first hour is filled with performers to entertain the crowds that are waiting for the parade to arrive. The floats and bands start three miles away. As the floats and bands pass in front of Macy's they will be shown. Keep watching and you will see what you are asking for. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
