The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade It's not really Thanksgiving until gigantic floating balloons with big smiley faces invade our TV screens in the early morning hours. (''Look kids, it's SpongeBob!'') The 83rd annual march through Manhattan, which follows a new route this year, will also feature its usual assortment of marching bands, celebrities, cheerleaders and, of course, that jolly bearded guy in the red suit. Overseeing the festivities are Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Al Roker of the Today Show. 9 a.m., Thursday NBC.
