This special is fascinating in a "why in the blue hell would they air this? Who does this appeal to?" kind of way but it's also really not very good. Everyone bombs with their jokes and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way and there's a lot of footage of people just wandering around while music plays over it.

I can't get over how much of a mess this live broadcast is. If you love awkward live television this is the parade for you.

Features most of the marching bands, as well as Santa Claus, including one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in my entire life as the poor guy gets out of his float to walk into Macy's and then his pants fall down in front of the audience outside, including the audience at home. Dude is a champ and picks them up right away but oh my GOD I couldn't believe it. Ed doesn't help (in the best way possible) by cracking jokes. An all-timer if you love awkward live television. Ripped from YouTube with an on-screen watermark) [OB/CC-2/B+]

At one point during a commercial it checks in on the CBS broadcast and the silence is so awkward you'd think it was a Tim and Eric sketch. Also some random channel surfing during commercial breaks. Get RickRolled in 1995!!) [OC/CC-2/B]

This special is fascinating in a "why in the blue hell would they air this? Who does this appeal to?" kind of way but it's also really not very good. Everyone bombs with their jokes and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way and there's a lot of footage of people just wandering around while music plays over it.

An NBC special hosted by Dick Clark that salutes the 1970s with Sonny Bono, Roy Clark, Hugh Hefner, Sherman Hemsley, Evel Knievel, Ted Knight, Isabel Sanford and so many more that I had to stop or else I was gonna get overwhelmed.
