For the ninth year, the National Dog Show will air on Thanksgiving Day 2010 on NBC right after the New York Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Conveniently slotted for noon to 2 p.m. in all time zones, it makes for a great Thanksgiving tradition when most families are lounging around the den miserably stuffed on holiday foods and desserts.
