Viewers Complain About Not Being Able to See Balloons & Floats During Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2022 Broadcasts
The people want to see the floats!

Throughout the telecast, viewers have taken to social media to voice their frustration at the lack of being able to see the actual balloons and floats of the parade (see which new ones are added to the parade this year), instead largely focusing on the commentary, long commercial breaks and various celebrities in attendance.

I wish the #MacysThanksgivingParade had more musical acts, floats, marching bands, etc & less celebrities, newscasters & commercials. It barely even feels like they’re showing a parade… 😒 #NBC #MacysParade

They’re barely showing the parade! They keep showing celebrities telling us how much fun they’re having watching the parade then don’t let us watch the actual parade!!! #MacysParade

Telecast of #MacysParade on @cbs is more about interviews and being a talk show with the parade as a secondary event

As much as I ♥️the #MacysParade, I'd love it more if they showed us more of the actual parade, floats and balloons and way less celebrity interviews. Anyone else?#Thanksgiving2022 pic.twitter.com/i70pYr3v8V

I wish there was more time for marching bands. All that work and we get a few seconds. #MacysParade

Not at all impressed by @nbc coverage of the #MacysParade thus far. I want to see the floats, no a news anchor on the ground talking in the phone.

Is there usually this many commercials for the #MacysParade? Seems like it’s one float for 30 seconds and then 4 minutes of commercials. #MacysThanksgivingParade #MacysThanksgivingDayParade #Thanksgiving2022

Is anyone else annoyed with #MacysParade for NOT showing the PARADE?! I don't care about the hosts. I want to see the floats, the entertainment, and the cheerleaders (my school's girls are in the parade this year –so proud!).

I've been watching the #MacysParade for an hour, and have seen like more commercials than floats. 😑 #coverageisawful

I saw a tweet on here that was like "ugh, the Thanksgiving day parade is just one giant #ad."
And it's like, "Yes, we all know that already."#MacysParade
