Yours truly was disappointed by the limited presentation–by NBC–of the Tournament of Roses Parade. Only one-and-one-half hours and too much time lost on commercials!! I lived in Southern California more than forty years and I’ve experienced the wonderful TV coverage by KTLA. So, at 6:00 PM, I accessed their commercial-free spectacular presentation available via the Internet. So, I had a brief return to California. I have fond memories of the times I attended the parade, and later saw the floats (close up) on display. ~~ I laughed so hard while viewing the Farmer’s Insurance float regarding the “Mer-mutts.” (You’ve seen their commercial?)
