[@jerseytomato100]

I miss Andy. He was the best part of 20/20. Cracked up at the Pepto-Bismol 😂

[@theahalme]

[@Anne--Marie]

I miss Andy Rooney. His segments were so well thought out and a pleasure to hear.

[@TexanforHarrisWalz]

I love this old man and wish he was still with us, but I LOVE the early start of Christmas simply because I love the holiday and all the festivities!

[@parchierodriguez1843]

You said it

[@historychannel365]

I really miss this guy.

[@mayram4598]

[@devo2296]

Timeless truth!

[@marshalllapenta7656]

Tell it Andy!

[@davidmckinney6577]

I miss Andy rooney he was the best

[@JonesArlngVA]

He’d hate Black Friday and Cyber Monday 😂😂

[@jackfrank303]

2008- Andy complaining about store already putting up Christmas decorations 4 days before Thanksgiving. 2023 - 4 days before Halloween, stores are putting up Christmas decorations.

[@KaiRoberts-q2r]

Rooney was an intellectual for sure. He was spot on here in this instance and commercialism of Xmas continues to explode

[@paulacornelison243]

I agree.

[@BillStreets_1723]

I been watching Andy since a kid and every year he does this; still ticking better then a clock. God Bless Andy Rooney 🥳 🎉😂

[@margieerwin5798]

Andy Rooney was the best!

[@parchierodriguez1843]

I agree

[@jennifers5560]

I liked him, and I got the point of this story, but really “there is nothing to do for Thanksgiving”?? I have been planning, prepping, polishing and will spend 2 days cooking for Thanksgiving.

[@yazohgarrison-uw6lv]

Life long fan of 60 minutes. They are the only ones still doing true interviews. Everyone else is having conversations and saying its an interview. Both people talking about themselves and asking questions is not an interview.

[@JerjerB]

I miss old, cranky Andy 😢😢😢

[@rara1800]

Totally right, it’s not as much as a money maker as Christmas. Christmas is all about decorations, gifts and consumerism.

[@scottmonty1828]

Andy Rooney if you were still here I would still tell you the truth about Thanksgiving! But Mike Tirico the announcer of the SF 49ERS AND SEA HAWKS football game gave his take on what Thanksgiving is all about. He said, "Thanksgiving is all about love and thankfulness." Now, I don't believe in organized protesting to get your point across as these protesters did during the Macy's parade but, educating the public about the facts of the matter is where I will leave it and the choice of the people to be acceptable to it or be ignorant (stupid) about it is their choice! But Thanksgiving originally had nothing to do with love and thankfulness instead it had everything to do with Genocide and Greed. That is the truth about the American Thanksgiving Holiday. And thankfully I refuse to celebrate with the rest of the ignorant people who say differently. Don't believe me? Just ask an American Indian about what happened to their ancestors about the original Thanksgiving and how it started or just stay ignorant 🤷‍♂️

[@DianeLee-je7jm]

Kinda glad he’s not around to see what it’s like now. 💰💰💰 There is no money in Thanksgiving, but some of us realize it’s about so much more 💖

[@lanbaode]

The Philippines has the world’s longest Christmas season. It practically begins on the first of September. The season stretches through all the months with names ending with the suffix “ber.”

[@jennyolcott4129]

Happy thanksgiving 🦃 to all

[@BradThePitts]

I'm an elementary school teacher, and I enjoy Easter so I like to put up the classroom's Easter decorations 2 days before Valentine's Day. When we take pictures for Valentine's Day, there are pastel colors and Easter eggs all over the wall. And at the end of the year just before the summer in mid-June, I like to decorate the classroom for fall, because who doesn't love fall?

[@richardwarner3705]

A rare man, WW 2 journalist for stars & stripes, bronze star & air medal.🇺🇲 And, a 60 minutes legend.👍😉

[@neilbarry7991]

One of the ways we divide our year is with Hallidays 😂

[@chaseincats]

He's not wrong

[@wdh47211]

Grocery stores and restaurants that stay open are the only ones who make money off Thanksgiving...

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

I really miss Rooney...

[@sislertx]

BACK WHEN JOURNALISTS WERE JOURNALISTS.

[@dianarendon5845]

What’s with common stupid comments of “back then” things were such and such, please…journalists are journalists no matter what era, doctors are doctors, engineers are engineers etc. in all eras/time periods there’s always been good and not so good, there’s no such thing as “back then things were such and such.”

[@maximumoverload5134]

​@@dianarendon5845journalists were real back then and not bought and sold like in today's times , you don't know what your talking abou if you don't understand the difference, you must be young and don't know any better , BIG change has taken place !

[@debbih0813]

​@@maximumoverload5134 You are so right!

[@KYPopskull]

Christmas is overtaking Halloween.

[@Djspiffymcdoo]

I just watched Norm MacDonald’s impression of this guy. He was spot on.

[@pd1620]

I used to think Andy was just a disgruntled old guy then I walked into Walmart and Christmas was up before Halloween was over. 😢

[@mizzury54]

He'd be ahgast at how early they're starting Christmas now.

[@dannyburleigh1]

I like starting a new fun calendar though Andy! Why was he so smug about calendars? CALENDARS ROCK!!

[@marilougo6084]

Ohh.. philippines starts christmas in September❤🎉❤ and ends 3rd week of January

[@nikeking1895]

Personally, thanksgiving tops Xmas.

[@geemanbmw]

Legendary Eyebrows

[@kimbradley9595]

Andy Rooney was 20/20

[@joe_q_jr]

Each year the start of Halloween and Christmas is different. '23 was one of the earliest for both in 10 years. Halloween commercials were broadcast in late August and Christmas decor and city lights were up at the end of September. Maybe New Year's Day will move up to December 17.

[@IndyPennCham]

Andy Rooney was great. Miss seeing him on 60 minutes. Like Jeanne Moos from CNN, but not the same.

[@poppyroberts1668]

MR. Andy Rooney god miss this man of common sense

[@VeRonicaMitchell-ii1pm]

Thanksgiving is not more American than the 4th of July. Lol

[@Sunflare-vq2uy]

RIP

[@wendyhoffman6273]

So very true. Its become to commercialized.

[@buzz5969]

Wish dude was still alive and kickin…My most American Holidays are New Years, 4th of July and Veterans day. We dont even celebrate Xmas, nor believe in any of those Christ fairytales. Totally skip Xmas till the New Year.🇺🇸✌🏻🍻

[@ernestestrada2461]

I miss Andy Rooney and his slightly satirical and peppery commentaries. 30% of the annual income for stores is the good old days. Some stores it's risen to 50% or more of the annual income helps to support the store the rest of the year. You can't find the toy store anymore except for a very small section at Walmart and even a tinier section at Target. Forget about October for Christmas decorations and merchandise. This year it began in September. And I saw Kohl's rearranging a back corner which turned out to be where they put all the children's toys and merchandise for Christmas. Back 30 plus years ago I joked in high school that it has just become one massive shopping calendar for retail chains. Even more so today and adding online merchants.

[@robbinanncoronado8610]

What happened to cooking the meal and prepping everything to be able to enjoy that meal 😄

[@jamessneed8789]

Nothing has changed since that broadcast.

[@kimbradley9595]

So agreed miss you Andy Rooney Christmas is so commercial I love Thanksgiving food and family my daughter calls me scrooge McDougall I too love Christmas music and decorations not at Halloween

[@spaceman081447]

Yeah, I remember when Black Friday came after Thanksgiving Day. Nowadays Black Friday comes after Halloween. It would not surprise me if Black Friday eventually comes after Labor Day.

[@fishercourt]

Kroger is open, and that’s just sick that they would rather have it open than allow people to enjoy their holiday with their family. Kroger, the company that has so much greed it’s awful.

[@jerseytomato100]

Not everyone has family to spend it with. Some people like that holiday pay. You assume an awful lot.

[@haydensanford1987]

​​@@jerseytomato100That is a small minority. So you think that because a few people don't have family or friends, it's okay to make people work on holidays? You remind me of schools not allowing peanut butter because someone might be allergic to them. My childs school did that and I asked them how many children are allergic to peanuts. They told me zero. In Massachusetts only convenience stores are open. I'm glad you don't run my state.

[@not_the_vampire]

Christmas not only won the war on Christmas, it annexed territory (Thanksgiving).

[@cliftonjarvis8010]

Their Will ways will be Harry Carey😮what I miss is year I watched this for the first time, I knew it was Andy

[@rma6070]

Look up Ali G with Andy Rooney. Ali shows how cool Andy was!😎👍

[@andywinslow9638]

Andy is the one unlikable person Im sad is gone. He was so funny to listen to and the shows not the same without him. RIP sir

[@AnthonySmith-bq2if]

Back when journalists was openly racist and bigots

[@edswetland9675]

I LOVE ANDY ROONEY, THIS IS GREAT

[@blondeenotsomuch]

Omg. We dont have to do anything on Thanksgiving? Andy you missed a stop in the kitchen.

[@mwp1088]

Costco has there christmas trees up in mid september now……

[@JillBrewerVideos]

Well, Andy Rooney would be fired up now that Thanksgiving has become a consumer extravaganza too with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The man’s perspective that Thanksgiving is a day for doing nothing except eating and watching football is fairly maddening. It takes days to prep that meal. He clearly has never contributed to the cooking!

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Wow still alive?😮

[@dannyburleigh1]

What a SCROOGE he was sometimes. You all should of got Jerry Seinfeld to take his place is what my Mom always thought! May she R.I.P.

[@jake1776]

Not squeezed out by Christmas. Rather, so many immigrants, that there is very little connection to our founding immigrants. What would a middle eastern guy have to do with teaching his Muslim kids about Christian pilgrims in the early 17th. Century.

[@jillk1973]

Ahh Andy Rooney. The OG of lovable curmudgeons.

Ali G was making fun of this guy bigly

I liked his segments. But, how could he not have taken care of those eyebrows. For crying out loud…

Oof…

[@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr]

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.

[@marystephens765]

Ohhhhh jeezzzz. Take care of your self and I’ll take care of me! I’m so sick of fanatics using scare tactics to sell their beliefs. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@MohAmeDALArabY-cg6sr]

@@marystephens765 I hope you read the Qur’an and understand it well. God is your salvation in this life, and after death, I wish you success
