close xThe Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS, 9 a.m. Maggie Rodriguez and Dave Price from "The Early Show" host coverage of the 83rd annual holiday parade, which features country music superstar Reba McEntire as well as numbers by the casts of "West Side Story," "Ragtime" and "Dreamgirls."
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC, 9 a.m. New York's 83rd annual event features massive floats, soaring balloons and plenty of marching bands, all to usher in the annual arrival of Santa Claus. In addition to several numbers from current New York musicals, Andrea Bocelli, Boys Like Girls, Alan Cumming, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots, Gloria Gaynor, and Carly Simon are scheduled to appear. Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Al Roker of "Today" host.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, ABC, 8 p.m. In this 1973 animated special, the pressure is on for Charlie Brown after pushy Peppermint Patty decides she and the gang will have Thanksgiving dinner at "Chuck's" house, First, though, he has to submit to a mortifying ritual of fall: Lucy yanking the football away just as he tries to kick it. Still, everything ends happily as the gang gathers for an unusual feast prepared by Snoopy and Woodstock.
The Office, NBC, 8 p.m. The office mates travel to Niagara Falls to celebrate Jim and Pam's (John Krasinki, Jenna Fischer) wedding, but things quickly spiral out of control, especially after Jim makes an unfortunate gaffe during a toast. Meanwhile, Michael, Dwight and Andy (Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms) try to hook up with other wedding guests.
Beyonce: I Am... Yours, ABC, 9 p.m. This special combines footage from a recent Beyonce concert with movies from the singer's childhood. This is an appropriate time for a Beyonce TV special, as the past year saw the release of two of her best songs yet: "Single Ladies" and "Halo."
Paul McCartney: Good Evening, New York City, ABC, 10 p.m. The former Beatle is still going strong at age 67. This concert special was filmed earlier this summer, right next to the site of the old Shea Stadium, where the Beatles played one of their most famous concerts. Footage of that historic concert will be included in this TV special.
