[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Do you think they will have the camera slowly zoom in and pan to each and every float?

I don't know, but he made PBS a lot more entertaining.

I would expect historical black and white photos from past Rose Parades during this year's live telecast.

When I went in 81 it was Jimmy Stewart, seems like they are slipping a bit since the early 80s!

At least I know who Kermit the Frog is.

I will have to Google this Ken Burns guy.

Based on your apparent intelligence level, I'm sure that Kermit is more your speed than Ken Burns.

Wasn't Bob Newhart the Grand Marshall in '91? I remember when they gave him the coin for the flip and he turned and started to walk away like he had no idea what he was supposed to do.

As it happens, Ken Burns created one of the best documentary style mini-series of all-time. "The Civil War". Not implying that you should know that(necessarily), but it's an epic series, very well done. Great even. If you have even the slightest interest in the Civil War, it's a must see. & it might be even if you don't have an interest. It's that good.
