Is there anything that evokes Thanksgiving more than getting bitten by Jon Voight while you’re trying to ask him if he used to own your friend’s Chrysler LeBaron? Yes, many things—like winning a radio contest so your boss can hold one of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons. Both occur in this episode of Seinfeld(the first to Kramer, the sec...
When Will’s mother, Viola, visits for Thanksgiving, she takes issue with how pampered the kids seem. Rather than having them start out with some basic chores, matriarch Vivian tasks them with cooking the entire Thanksgiving dinner. It goes about as well as you’d expect. What the episode lacks in edible food, it makes up for in spirit—not to mention...
Part of the genius of The Sopranos is how it juxtaposes Tony’s violence-heavy mob life with his pretty normal home life. In “He Is Risen,” the Sopranos host Thanksgiving dinner, which involves uninviting a couple of guests (relatable) because of mafia tensions (not relatable). The episode features unexpected comic relief in the form of Janice's nar...
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s season 9 finale is a lot like a real Thanksgiving gathering in that if you haven’t been around for much that came before it, most of the people will mean nothing to you and their inside jokes will go over your head. But if you’ve followed Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee, and the rest of the gang for a while, it’s 20 mi...
“Huangsgiving” earned its spot on this list by including two of the wittiest culinary one-liners of all time: Evan nicknames mayonnaise “Pearl Jam,” and Louis calls Cornish hens “the personal pizzas of the bird world.” It’s also a quintessential Thanksgiving story—it’s finally Jessica’s turn to host the holiday, and she pulls out all the stops to m...
Mad Men’s first season finale is a master class in how to worm your way out of spending Thanksgiving with your in-laws. Lesson one: Be Don Draper. The brooding ad man simply tells Betty that he has to work. For what it’s worth, he does end up feeling somewhat bad about it—inner turmoil that he wastes no time in exploiting to inspire what may be his...
CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati may not have the cultural staying power of Cheers or Happy Days, but it does have what is arguably the most iconic Thanksgiving episode of all time. In “Turkeys Away,” a radio station turkey giveaway goes awry, owing to the fact that the turkeys are less given away and more dropped from a helicopter to land “like sacks...
It’s hard to compete with Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis as Jess’s divorced parents, whom their daughter tries to “parent-trap” back into a relationship (without the help of a twin, though Nick tries his darnedest to fill the void). But Rob Riggle as Schmidt’s cousin, also named Schmidt, manages to make an already laugh-out-loud funny episode even...
While Friends didn’t literally coin the term Friendsgiving, it’s hard to deny that the sitcom’s history of quality Thanksgiving episodes—in which the focus is on friends, rather than families, spending the holiday together—helped popularize the practice. Brad Pitt is in one episode (“The One With the Rumor”), Christina Applegate is in another (“The...
In season 3, Gilmore Girls leaned into its reputation as a cozy hub for all things autumnal by giving viewers the ultimate Thanksgiving episode, complete with not one, not two, but fourThanksgiving dinners: Emily and Richard’s, Sookie and Jackson’s, Luke’s, and Lane’s family’s. Considering the sheer volume of (mostly junk) food that Lorelai and Ror...
