Well, it's 9 AM where I live, but I don't believe it's necessarily the same for everyone. Check your local listings.

*snicker* The movie was 60 minutes. XDD

Yay! I watch the parade every year, but I rarely wake up in time to see it from the beginning. I hope I catch the float. I remember last year I had no idea before hand that Foster's was going to have a float. I was sitting on the couch, only half watching the parade (I think I was browsing through a catalogue) when I heard a very familiar song, so I turned my full attention to the TV. I was sooooo thrilled, I clapped my hands and laughed in pure glee! I do remember the Wilt puppet looked NOTHING like himself, and it creeped me out a bit. I felt sorry for him. I wonder if they'll be using the exact same puppets this year, or maybe made some improvements. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Only four days to go! Woohoo!!

Yeah, I remember the Wilt puppet looking a bit odd.

No matter what happens, I look forward to seeing the Foster's float once again at the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day parade. Last year, I missed seeing the float during the airing of the parade.

Saw the pics of last year's float, quite impressive, I have to say, it'll be good to see what they do this year.
The Thanksgiving Parade, unfortunately, isn't something that would be shown on prime time British telly though. Though it might get a little snippet on the news, maybe. And there's always YouTube.

Yeah, it was. It would be a nice surprise if they added in a half-hour or so of previously unshown footage, though.

While the thought of Cheese singing makes me giggle, wouldn't this song work better with Mac singing with Bloo?

Would you think it'd be easy to make a puppet look AND move like Wilt? Bloo, even Cheese is one thing, but Wilt is quite another!

Don't we have a YouTube link, Sparky, from last year?

BabyCharmander · 11-21-2007, 01:30 PM

Speaking of YouTube, is anyone planning on taping this and uploading it there for those of us who might miss it, mur?
