They did a good job this year. NBC loves themselves way more than anything they cover, and there have been years where it's just been us yelling at the tv to show the dang parade instead of their talking heads yapping about their latest show. For once they just showed the parade, you know, the thing we turned it on to see. I won't lie, I'll watch it regardless because I'm a sucker, but I'll be happier and feel like less of a sucker if they keep covering it like this one.

Yep, that looks like you were at a GWAR show.

I kind of feel like it makes more sense now, or maybe just I'm older now. The things it does with playing with the medium, seems more understandable now that it's sort of established "this is what 80s tv was really doing" and it wasn't just "why is this show weird?"

My absolute favorite thing about the show, and I can't explain why, is how food is constantly being ordered and never eaten. It's just the right weirdness that expresses... something? in the right way? (I did say I couldn't explain it.)
