Glad I got to watch this. It's been a tradition to watch every year. My Dad would've loved to see this , he loved seeing the bands more than anything.

[@donnawhite6393]

They are having audio problems as well as wind problems this is why noone is hosting the parade. Noone is singing on the floats because of the audio problems also. People will remember Macy's 93rd Thanksgiving Parade because of the mistakes made today. Is this sabotage? I have seen the parade in the past and the balloons were flying higher when the winds were blowing strong. I have seen the parade when they had audio problems but it was fixed right away. Macy's is in trouble financially because of the economy. Just like Sears, Charlotte Russ, Forever 21 and hundreds more. If it is sabotage, is Macy's going to use this as an excuse to discontinue the parade? It does cost thousands and thousands of dollars to put this parade together. We need to spend more money at Macy's or this global icon will be gone. Macy's is remembered because of the movie "Miracle on 34th Street ".

I have a feeling no one there knows who Goku is.

The commentator sure didn’t. When she was giving Goku’s description she pronounced Kakarot, “Cockarot” and then started laughing and couldn’t stop. Smh

Unlike the Tournament of Roses Parade, I've seen no evidence of any people camping out overnight for this parade. Why is that? I can think of several reasons.

[@kwebster62]

Because of the commercials, interviews, and commentary, the televised versions of the parade do not show the full parade. These online versions do!

[@76RCJ]

Why the hell don't they post the one that actually aired in front of the Macys building? This Sucks!

[@alwilliam3379]

Because NBC have the inclusive copyright to it. Plus the 'show' they put on with the Broadway performers and the Rocckets(sp) are not actually a part of the parade. This us actually a neat idea to have a perspective when watching it on the street.

[@rebekkareed3383]

I can only watch the parade on KZbin and the last five years I’ve been able to watch over 2 hours with all the performances no just seeing the parade. I like this idea but not everyone can watch the parade live because is not boardcast worldwide.

[@kwebster62]

@@alwilliam3379 You're exactly right. If you want to see the NBC broadcast, watch it at 9am ET or the repeat at 2pm ET (at least in 2019). Showing this view gives you more of the street-level, actual experience. This is a great alternative. And if that wasn't enough "The event can also be streamed on NBC.com, the NBC mobile app or the NBC channel on Hulu+ Live TV, KZbinTV and more." More choices that ever before, and yet some still complain.

[@kwebster62]

This video shows the Ronald McDonald balloon. NBC would not show it, due to the tear.

NBC re-airs the parade in the afternoon nowadays, so unless you wake up later than 2pm ET, there is no need to miss it.

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

Joanne Carlson Check out 80’s commercial vault. That channel uploaded the 1980 parade yesterday. It has changed a lot, but I still enjoy it. It’s just tradition to watch it while cooking dinner. I wasn’t even born yet in 1980, but still loved watching something from the 80’s. I’m 37 so I was born in ‘82. That channel uploads mostly old 80’s & 90’s commercials, but sometimes, like yesterday, they’ll upload more. It’s the entire parade. Edit: Well, not the entire parade, just the highlights & commercials airing at the time, but still a great watch! That channel also has parade highlights from other years. Things really have changed a lot.
