They did that at the start of the parade, at least. Previously we'd get "The cast of Sesame Street... and the Muppets!" That caused major confusion on my brother...

So does our dad. He wants us to have Thanksgiving breakfast at a certain planned time, as if he knows what's going to happen on the parade then! He's made me miss the Sesame Street float from 2008 to 2010!

Oh yeah, and again they played the 1992-2006 Sesame Street credits theme when announcing the Sesame Street float. I guess they aren't going to update it for a LONG time... When the Pikachu balloon was on, again they played the original Pokemon theme. Even with over 600 Pokemon now, that theme...

I noticed Count von Count was more in the shadows in the building mock-up. Maybe he hadn't put on his sunblock yet? :batty:

Sesame Street float is on right now! Elmo and Abby Cadabby are in the nest with Big Bird. Bob's on the float with them, looking as active as he has since the early 1990s, and Murray Monster got a solo too! Ack, make that TWO solos!

OK, they spent a minute on the Kermit the Frog balloon, right after the big pilgrim turkey float. Not bad!

So does my dad, even though he doesn't like the cheesy musical numbers either. And like I said, they didn't bother to say much about the balloons during the parade intro... At least we already ate breakfast so I can't miss the Sesame Street float like my parents would usually make us in the past...

That's how I feel too! They should just get rid of the balloons and call it "The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Musical Numbers!" And that same marching band rendition of Frank Sinatra's "New York New York" to kick off the start of the parade. I prefer THIS version:

The opening of the parade just said "The cast of Sesame Street." No adding "...and the Muppets!" to cause confusion! And then there was practically NO MENTION of the balloons, just "World's Greatest Character Balloons." Like I said, the balloons are becoming an incredibly minor side event in...

I did a YouTube Poop of "A Muppet Family Christmas" in memory of Jerry Nelson, too (in addition to that tribute in August.) You guys are getting a special unlisted preview of it. It's going public this Friday (in honor of Black Friday.)

Makes sense. Though usually that original Pokemon theme song would kind of be more associated with back when we only had 150 Pokemon, like this board game (I had this!)

Believe it or not, they STILL use the 1992-2006 Sesame Street closing theme whenever announcing the Sesame Street float. I guess they had no idea that the credits theme has been replaced since 2007... I also recall when they have the Pikachu balloon, they use the old 1998 Pokemon theme...

They used it in 2005, 2006 and 2007. And each time, they played the theme song to "What's New Scooby-Doo" underneath. Could this mean the original "Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme could be NO MORE in the future? :cry: It's sort of akin to replacing the original Looney Tunes/Merrie...

The sad truth is, Macy's doesn't seem to care much about the balloons anymore, at least the NBC broadcast. When they announce the parade line-up, they just save the balloons for last (but before Santa, of course.)

Muppet-wise, from what I heard, so far it's going to be the Sesame Street Float again, and the Kermit the Frog balloon. I don't know if they're going to have Kermit himself at the parade though. Even though during the opening (when they play that stock marching band rendition of "New York, New...

I've already got a few plans up my sleeve! I'm going to attend a few Halloween parties this year, plus on Halloween night I'll just pass out candy while in costume, and watch various Halloween cartoons (like "Garfield's Halloween Adventure," or "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School.") My costume is a...

OK, long story short, I LOVED the street story that debunks the infamous "Veggie Monster" rumors. It seems this episode was written with the fans in mind, and all the others that believed those rumors.

So far "Elmo the Musical" seems a bit more professionally-made...

Is it just me, or was Murray Monster practically shouting his lines for the Word on the Street? (which was "Nibble") The opening sequence is the same one we've been seeing since Season 40. Nothing has been changed on it. Cookie Monster's voice sounds different for some reason. Even my ear...

Hey, so did I! Checked the email on my MacBook, and made a similar reaction!
