Your favorite Thanksgiving tv episodes and movies

Close second is Home for the Holidays, naturally. Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, RDG, Dermont Mulroney...

There is no other.

The Thanksgiving Promise, starring 3 generations of the Bridges family.

Those aren’t pillows!

For me, it's the classics. Obligatory WKRP mention:

OP, you’re a cooze.

Alien Abduction: Incident In Lake County

A found footage film predating The Blair Witch Project in which a teenage boy is recording his family's Thanksgiving dinner and then aliens show up and wreak their havoc.

Frasier.

The Cheers Thanksgiving food fight episode is up there.

"Mad About You" when they had to keep replacing the turkeys (Jamie even threw one out the window at one point).

I know she is now out there where the trains don't run, but I still love Roseanne's Thanksgiving episodes from the early 90s.

Bob's Burgers has the best Thanksgiving episodes. Even the bad ones are good

The Addams Family Values

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973):

[quote]Hand's down THE best Thanksgiving episode of all time.

Oh, dear.

[quote]RDG, Dermont Mulroney...

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

In "The Doors" when Jim Morrison pisses all over the Thanksgiving turkey.

Blood Rage (1987)

"It's not cranberry sauce."

The Friends episode with Brad Pitt. He and Ross were in the I Hate Rachel Club in HS. Joey says he can eat an entire turkey. While wearing jeans, he decides he needs to put on his 'eatin' pants. They turn out to be Phoebe's old maternity pants.

Anne of Green Gables. The one with Colleen Dewhurst. I really enjoy that show.

Thanksgiving is for the Kennedy Assassination. Christmas we watch The Godfather.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles....I had a mad crush on Steve Martin.

Yes, and this is me in the scene....always, representing DL.

That was a duck, r16.

‘’Caroline in the city’’Her namesake Macy's parade balloon breaks free and knocks Florence Henderson off the Wesson Oil float and goes up-up and away-very funny.

Hannah and Her Sisters. Begins with a Thanksgiving and ends with the following year's Thanksgiving.

All occurring in Mia Farrow's rent-controlled apartment.

Mama's Family. A tornado hits Raytown on Thanksgiving.

Mama: "Lord, I should have known every time this family gets together there’s a disaster!"

THAT was a good Mama's Family episode. Hunkered down in Vint's and Naomi's basement love nest. Playing board games and getting drunk off of rum balls.

I love those kinds of episodes. People forced together under dire circumstances.

How about least favorite? I hated one of the Will & Grace Thanksgiving episodes. The one where we're supposed to believe Rosario ate an entire turkey by herself in one sitting.

I thought it was really offensive, and I was embarrassed for Shelley Morrison, who I'd loved since The Flying Nun.

Dawson’s 50 Loads Turkey: Stuffed and Never Satisfied.

New episodes coming spring 25!!!

TV’s 30 Best Thanksgiving Episodes (at least according to TV Line):

Strangers With Candy. Trail of Tears. When Jerri discovers her American Indian heritage during casting of the Thanksgiving play, she attends a camp run by a councilor who teaches adopted Indian children about aspects of their culture, such as alcoholism and gambling.

Chuck Noblet: Hey, this'll be fun. Let's have a debate. Jerri will defend the godless savages, and everyone else will attack Jerri.

Jerri Blank: What?

Chuck Noblet: Don't be afraid to get personal. The objective is to win, or, rather, to attack Jerri.

Jerri Blank: I don't know anything about Indians because I'm *not* an Indian!

Chuck Noblet: A cunningly savage denial, Jerri. Alright, fact: a peaceful, napping General Custer was murdered in his sleep by bloodthirsty Indians while he was on a family camping trip!

[quote] I know she is now out there where the trains don't run, but I still love Roseanne's Thanksgiving episodes from the early 90s.

There's nothing wrong with still loving the original Roseanne sitcom. Roseanne Barr as a person is a nutso, but her sitcom is still one of my favorites because I could relate to it because it showed a family dealing with struggles and not always being in happy circumstances.

"To Serve Man" is Thanksgiving, right?

The Friends episode with the football game

The Waltons Homecoming. Or maybe that’s Christmas?

[quote]Mama's Family. A tornado hits Raytown on Thanksgiving.

The best! "Tiko tiko!"
