The best Thanksgiving episodes ever

One of the best things about long running TV shows is that you get fantastic holiday episodes every year. This is my list of the best Thanksgiving episodes.

"WKRP in Cincinnati"-"Turkeys Away"-"As God is my witness I didn't know turkeys couldn't fly." That closes the funniest Thanksgiving episode ever.

"Friends"-"The One with the Rumor"-This is the Brad Pitt episode where he plays an old friend of Ross's who got ridiculously good looking post high school.

Most of the comedy comes from Pitt's character's extreme hatred of Jennifer Aniston's Rachel. At the time this episode first aired they were married, so it made a lot of the jokes funnier. This was the first time audiences really got to see Pitt's comedic side.

"Friends"-"The One with Rachel's Other Sister"-Christina Applegate in a hilarious turn as Rachel's self-absorbed sister Amy, makes this one of my favorites. However, the ongoing comedy about Monica obsessing over her good china is laugh out loud funny.

"The West Wing"-"Shibboleth"-This episode is filled with fantastic story, including the plot about the Chinese refugees who are seeking asylum and CJ having to pick a turkey to pardon, but for me, the crux of this episode is the relationship between President Bartlett and his aide Charlie.

The president wants Charlie to find him a new carving knife, a task that proves impossible, but it isn't until the end of the episode that we find out that the president needs a new knife because he is passing his on to Charlie. It is a family heirloom passed on from Paul Revere, it is in this moment that we understand the depths of the relationship between Bartlett and Charlie.

"The Cosby Show"-"Cliff's Wet Adventure"-A huge Huxtable Thanksgiving means Cliff must make multiple trips to the only open store, that just happens to be off in the middle of nowhere and there's a crazy storm.

This all adds up to Bill Cosby proving why he's a comedy legend and the show proving why all these years later it's still a classic.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel Air"-"Talking Turkey"-Aunt Vivian makes the kids cook Thanksgiving dinner by themselves and hilarity ensues. It is one of the funniest episodes of the series.
