There's nothing like a good viewing sesh to bring in or phase out one of the best holidays of the year. With a day as big as Thanksgiving, so many TV stations are playing movies and special holiday episodes to celebrate. Whether it be leading up to the big meal, or while you're rubbing your belly full of turkey (or ham, I don't judge) post-dinner, the best way to unwind and relax is with five of the best Thanksgiving TV episodes, saving the best for last.

'Gilmore Girls' (Season 3, Episode 9) 

This one isn't too comical, but "A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving" gives you that feeling of home. In this episode, the Gilmore girls trek around town to four different Thanksgiving festivities to please all of their family and friends.

'That '70s Show' (Season 1, Episode 9)

When you watch 'That '70s Show,' you can't expect anything short of craziness and disaster. With this episode being the original holiday special, there are laughs and awkward inappropriateness surrounding Thanksgiving dinner with the gang.

'New Girl' (Seasons 1-4, Various Episodes)

The first four seasons of 'New Girl' all debut a hilarious tribute to the all-American holiday of Thanksgiving. My personal favorite is season four, episode nine which entails the loft mates each bringing a friend to the holiday dinner for someone else in the loft to have a sleepover with and cleverly called it "bangsgiving."

All four Thanksgiving episodes are listed here:

Season 1, Episode 6 (Thanksgiving)

Season 2, Episode 8 (Parents)

Season 3, Episode 10 (Thanksgiving III)

Season 4, Episode 9 ( Thanksgiving IV)

'Friends' (Season 5, Episode 8)

"The One With All the Thanksgivings" is a flashback in time to each member of the gang's worst holiday experiences. This episode gave us the iconic moment of Monica with a turkey on her head.

'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'

This may be deemed a 'short' or a 'special,' but it does have a 30-minute running time, therefore making it a show. This classic follows the classic Peanuts characters and their journey through the Thanksgiving holiday. As kiddy as it is, nothing can beat this episode. Change my mind.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
