The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 1989 was the 63rd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was held on November 23rd, 1989, in New York City, and shown to viewers live on NBC that same day. It was hosted by Willard Scott, new co-host Deborah Norville of Entertainment Tonight fame, and ALF performed by Paul Fusco. Participating celebrities included New Kids on the Block, Melba Moore, Buddy Hackett, and Scott Bakula.

Availability

While almost all of NBC's parades since 1980 had been widely bootlegged, most of which were in full, the 1989 parade was one of the few broadcasts since 1980 that had not resurfaced in full. This was especially odd since it (like all the other parades during this time period) aired during a time when nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording media, but few were willing to upload it online.

On September 8th, 2015, YouTuber FragglevisionReturns under her Major League Pong Gods channel uploaded an incomplete copy of the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This copy of the parade was edited at the taper's discretion, and thus was missing about 2/3 of the first hour, a marching band performance shortly after then, many of the commercials featured in the broadcast, and a substantial portion of the middle of the show. Some lost footage that wasn't from this copy could be found online through other sources, with miscellaneous other found clips including the new Bugs Bunny balloon inflation test and a marching band performance before the Nestlé Quik Bunny balloon.

In late 2018, it was discovered that a website called rewatchclassictv.com had a full copy of the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade via purchase.[1] This copy included all commercials and about 40-50 minutes of aforementioned missing footage from FragglevisionReturns' copy such as the other Broadway shows, the Bugs Bunny balloon inflation test, the new Paul Bunyan float, the Nestlé Quik Bunny balloon, and the Woody Woodpecker balloon.

On December 18th, 2019, the full broadcast was uploaded to YouTube and the Internet Archive by user Zane362.[2]
