Best Thanksgiving episodes

A few years ago while waiting for T-day dinner to be ready we had the family watch the WKRP turkey drop episode. I watched it as a kid with my mother and both of us nearly hurt ourselves laughing.

Weirdly, my in-law family found it only mildly amusing. Is it just Boomer humor? But another favorite is Mad About You's T-day episode where Paul and Jamie have their first family Thanksgiving at their place. Unfortunately, I could not find even a clip on YouTube, but it involves a fully dressed turkey being thrown out the window of a high-rise. 

What other classic holiday episodes can you submit for Best Ever?

"...Oh, the humanity!"

It doesn't get any better than the WKRP episode.  The show in general has always been one of my favorites.

"The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"

"AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, I THOUGHT TURKEYS COULD FLY!"

I don't know about TV episodes,  but the only Thanksgiving movie I can think of is a great one: Trains, Planes, & Automobiles.

The Cheers Thanksgiving episode is great.

I'm not vouching for the quality of the movie but "home for the holidays" is a Thanksgiving movie.

this one is pretty good too

WKRP and Planes Trains and Automobiles really take the top spots without any close competitors. 
 

Third has to be the Cheers episode. 
 

Then I'm a fan of the Frasier episode, Slapsgiving on How I Met Your Mother, and the King of the Hill episode where Hank's turkey is blown up. 

Dharma & Greg - Thanksgiving Until It Hurts - Their inlaws never get along so they make alternative plans but get guilt tripped into eating at everybody's house.

It took me several watchings of the WKRP turkey fiasco before I noticed that the person from the Humane Society that Loni Anderson is talking to at the end is "Mr. Colley."

I appreciate a writing room that is dedicated to the craft.

Not Thanksgiving but the Mr. Bean Christmas episode where he gets his head stuck in the goose isn't bad.

For Your Consideration and Best In Show are Thanksgiving-adjacent movies that we have to watch. If you like Christopher Guest movies, you know what you're getting (and if you don't like Christopher Guest movies, we'll probably never be besties).

 If neither of the above are on, the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon fills the gaps. It's never the wrong choice.

The WKRP episode has the advantage of including Jan Smithers as Bailey Quarters in the cast.  

In reply to DarkMonohue :

I forgot about MST3K.  They're also the correct choice for whenever you've come home late from a night at the bars.  (That's how I discovered the show, it originated on public access TV here in Minneapolis back in the late 1980s.)
