Dear Facebook,

It has been many years since the parade has been more than background noise, but we are sitting down watching with our 2 year old.

So far all we have seen are interviews with "stars", commercial breaks, and musical acts. He keeps asking "where is the parade" and I'm wondering the same thing, they literally haven't shown a balloon yet. Is this what the parade is now?!

Did you have a stroke or is English not your first language?

Was just yelling at the tv.

Dude says look at the troll balloons.

Kid goes running to the tv to see. Never shows the troll balloons.

I agree it seems like one big TV commercial with just a few musical numbers thrown in.

Gwen must really be cold on that outfit.

But never mind she is smoking in it.

Yeah I changed it because of that shite. There's a better Chicago parade on another channel that's an actual parade and not celeb arse kissing and show business.

I was just getting ready to post the question, "Was the Macy's parade better when I was younger or am I just getting old?".

I miss actually watching the HS bands that they invite in for the parade too.

It's been like this for decades. I'm guessing people have a revisionist history of it. When they are young they remember all the "balloons" because that's how your parent's draw you in to watch it. Then you get older and don't watch for years. Then you have kids again and turn it on so they can see "the balloons". They are there amongst the bands and performer's, like they have been, for many years now.

People will bitch about anything these days.

Did you see her pants? No way you missed them. Her pants are covered in the solar system. Space pants.

That Dustin Lynch cat was fricking terrible. No wonder everyone thinks they hate country music.

They couldn't even get a Kentucky boy like Sturgill Simpson or Chris Stapleton for the KFC float. Time to riot.

I tried it for 10 mins.

Poor black kid and white girl are trying hard as they can to analyze the parade.
The way they described the Power ranger ballon was epic.

The Parade hasn’t reached the spot NBC broadcasts from

They used to not go on air until 10 Central.
