When they announced the lineup, they mentioned "The Cast and Muppets of Sesame Street!" FINALLY they do it the right way, instead of the old confusing ways they'd announce them. But other than that, they almost ignored the floats and balloons, saving them as an afterthought of sorts.

They just also showed a couple shots of the Sesame Street float! Elmo and Abby Cadabby are in the nest with Big Bird; I guess they're the two biggest Muppet stars on the show these days (unfortunately even more than Big Bird)...

The float has just come on, and they performed their song with QuestLove! The only Muppet who got any solos was Elmo, though, and the only human cast member of the show I recognized on the float was Alan...

Man, am I the only one who was watching this year?

Only Alan, Nina, and a few kids were on the float along with The Roots and the main Sesame Muppets.

I saw it and it was disappointing.

So it looks like it wasn't just the classic cast members who weren't on the Thanksgiving float,Chris,Leela and Mando were all missing as well. That's a relief,everyone will probably be on next year then.

I think that they want all the cast members next year maybe they're getting a new float

Heh. That Sofia Carson girl was clearly lip-syncing: she was way off, lol.

But did anyone happen to notice Fran's U.S. Cellular commercial where she was a grandmother giving her grandson a penny? I've tried to find it, but it doesn't seem to have been posted on YT yet.

It was pretty good. Just not as spectacular as last year where everyone got a line. I'm still waiting patiently to hear Jen's Zoe.

Indeed it did feel empty compared to previous years. Wonder why that's the case?
