All three networks have lame-ass Rose Bowl Parade
Can't America's three networks be just a little more creative??? This is pathetic.

2. I went one year, and even though I'm a jaded cynic, I couldn't help
but be very impressed seeing them up close. It's much better than on television, especially since you don't have to listen to the stupid commentators/hosts!

4. How did they pull it off
We've had heavy rains the past two weeks and the rains are supposed to come back tonight.

How did they pull it off?

5. I love looking at the floats
It's just amazing what they do with flowers and natural materials. I don't mind hearing with the floats are covered with. But, other than that, you're right. The commentary and blah blah chatter gets annoying.

6. HGTV has no commercials and they only talk about the floats
and parade info. They actually talk about the flowers and stuff. This is very good coverage.

I love this parade!

9. It's beautiful and I love to watch it.
Wonderful tradition in my house to watch it while we prepare New Year's Day lunch together.

Happy New Year to you!

11. I had always enjoyed watching
the parade until overt nationalism began showing up in 2002. Starting a parade with a flyover of military planes is disgusting IMO. That has really dampened my enthusiasm for watching it.
