Reply to comment by Theeclat in NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scores Its Most Viewers in 5 Years With Streams on Peacock (27.7M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is mostly a big commercial for NYC tourism- note that Broadway gets the full first hour, and Broadway performers and NYC landmarks or fixtures are mostly featured throughout. The parade coverage itself is nominally the star, but it's the city itself that actually is the point, as is hinted by "New York, New York" being the official theme song instead of "I Love a Parade."

I am from the Midwest, so my ability to truly respect the deference for the importance of its local influence is not appreciable.
I don’t hope to take away from its appreciation. I am just not into it.

From the Midwest… we watched it every year growing up. Just quintessential Thanksgiving tradition coziness I guess and usually it’s a distraction from everything else going on food prep wise in the home maybe, and just nice/harmless to have on with relatives or company, regardless.

Glad you love it. Continue this. Anyone (me) should never change this.
Have a great weekend!
