That totally sucked. Couldn’t see anything because of the fireworks smoke.

Stand by the Idaho Potato Drop at 12 MT!

I agree - the NY city ball drop sucked the big one. I think the camera they went to was clouded with rain! Come on - you pros should be better than that!

Yeah, it was a big disappointment, probably had a lot to do with the moisture laden air, but that's no excuse. Plus the TV coverage has really gone downhill the past few years. And what was with that outfit Ms Aguilera was wearing?

Well, the Rose Parade is starting now. It shouldn’t disappoint.

And our old Boise State Coach Pete, who defected to the losing Washington Huskies a few years ago, has taken them to the Rose Bowl. Coaching matters. Will be watching that.

A lot of people like rap. Some of it is very innovative.

What a night. Herded into a pen literally like cattle to have the drunk person next to you pee on your leg because of no bathrooms. Not to mention the added bonus of pickpockets. I'll pass on this fiasco. BTW the rain and temperature are another bonus.

Rose parade also sucked. Starting out out with rap is one thing, but cutting to commercials just as your favorite group came int view really sucked. Watched the first half hour then switched to Impractical jokers show.

"Talent"? Surely, you jest. I'd rather watch Guy Lombardo reruns.

Bummer, went to bed early however, my dog got me up at 11:50pm for an outdoors trip but did not turn the TV back on because it was so bad before I lost interest!

The show with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen was the worst new year show I've ever seen. It was a train wreck. Cringe worthy!
I've heard that some were giving them good grades for their show. Unbelievable!
