Meredith + Macy's Parade = YAWN

I love the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade. It's one tradition I look forward to on Thanksgiving morning - along with a big ol' hunk of sweet potato pie.

But NBC should have hired Katie Couric back just for this one day. She has the perk factor necessary to keep people interested for three hours. And she and Matt's banter/sib rivalry chit chat made it fun to watch them.

But Meredith Viera was seriously a yawner. Her voice was low key and too quiet, like she was just released from a nearby psych ward. It made for a painful viewing experience. Though, when the floats began she seemed to loosen up a little.
