Remember the Foster's Float from the Macy*s Parade? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 11-21-2007, 08:07 PM

Oh yeah I remember being confused about that exact same thing last year (I'm on PST). But I don't remember how it ended up being!

Looks like I have to get up at 7...(I know they won't have the Foster's float right away or anything, I'm just paranoid.)

I'll be taping it on my PVR (just set it now) sadly I have no way to get the video on the computer

Blah XD I'm so sorry, I meant to say it starts at 6:00 am, not 7:00 am, and it ends at 9:00 am

Silly me and my horrible typing =P

Sorry about that, I'll edit my first post so there aren't any mix ups :]

I'm looking at the Comcast listing right now and it says 9-12. On KCRA. I suppose *some* channels might broadcast live and therefore have it from 6-9. I dunno.

Wha'ever, lol.

The parade's on both NBC and CBS, so at least some of you recording this should switch to CBS in hope of getting the float from a different angle. I'm recording the NBC show for Sparky.

As a big marching band fan, my bet is that both networks will cut to commercials every time a band starts to play

P.S. Telemundo is using NBC's feed but with their own hosts, so if you get annoyed with the usual chatter, you can always try that.

P.P.S. We've got plans for Thursday and Friday, and of course Sunday's a big day too, so please, ease up on the pressure on Sparky to get something to Youtube until at least next week.

The parade is on at 9 AM in each time zone just to clear up this mess.

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to all of us in the US of A.

Are they not gonna' show the song? D: I was watching the parade on TV and they just showed the float. I could see Fluffer Nutter, Jackie Khones, Bloo, Mr. Herriman, Coco, and Wilt, but I didn't catch anyone else 'cuz they didn't show much of the float. (I thought I saw some people standing on the float, though, but I could be wrong.) Did they show it with the song earlier or something? I missed the first hour of the parade, eheh. >>;

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, folks. :3

To anybody who took my advice and watched the CBS version of the parade...

I am so sorry!

Apparently, all the microphones and cameras in the performance area were NBC-only. This meant that the Fosters float went by the screen on CBS in about 10 seconds.

For those of you taping the NBC version, fast-forward to the 2-hour point (11 am) to see the float.
