Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NYC was in Spanish only. I was really surprised by this. There was no option to change to English and this was the only channel the parade was on.
This is the first for me. It's kind of bothering me that I couldn't watch the live-feed parade from my home state.
I think my daughter and I would be happy with a harry potter marathon but not everyone agrees. we are watching All the light we cannot see on Netflix which is 8 hours long. It's a challenge to find something my mom (87) will watch without complaining so I'm glad the nostalgia for World War 2 has captured her attention.

Of course you could watch it. what could they possibly be saying that you would need to hear? The commentary isn't important. After all, if you were standing on the edge of the street you wouldn't get any commentary.
But it is weird that you couldn't find it in English. Did you try Youtube?
Not interested in parades, but we usually have a football game playing. It is easy to catch back up if you miss some of the game vs having a movie on. There are also NCAA basketball games (Battle 4 Atlantis, etc), so there are even more choices now than just the Detroit Lions.
Every year our Thanksgiving watching tradition is:
"Turkeys Away" -- WKRP classic episode
"Miracle on 34th Street" -- the classic B&W one with Natalie Wood
"One Special Night" -- a TV movie starring Julie Andrews and James Garner
The rest of the day is spent cooking, reading/being on the computer, and eating.
Growing up, no one watched TV on Thanksgiving or Christmas in our house much at all. With the exception of my maternal grandfather. He loved sports, so he'd retire quietly to my dad's office to watch a game and smoke. He was also the family's only smoker, so this also confined the smoke to one room. My grandparents' visits were the only times the house ever smelled like tobacco smoke. Their visits were primarily on major holidays so now I have this odd sensory memory association between holidays and tobacco. The rest of us would go for walks, play games, listen to music, help clear all the dishes, or just sprawl in postprandial turkey comas. I've never watched the Macy parade and have never watched sports. Others would watch the Rose parade but watching it bored me. I did volunteer to decorate floats a couple of times and got to march in it once with my high school band/drill team.
