9 Thanksgiving Episodes of Your Favorite Shows for This November

In This Article:

Every family celebrates Thanksgiving differently. For some, it's a huge celebration that includes gifts and multiple days of cooking. For others, it involves searching for the nearest restaurant that is open during the day and willing to deliver.

Personally, Thanksgiving for my family is always about finding the perfect movie or television show to watch together while stuffing our faces with potatoes. It's difficult to find something that everyone will enjoy, especially since I have some picky siblings who don't necessarily have the same taste in cinema as I do.

Through years of trial and error, I have compiled a cohesive list of television shows with Thanksgiving-themed episodes that are sure to satisfy every family member, from your conservative uncle to your picky sister.

1. Friends: Season 1, Episode 9

This episode proves that Thanksgiving doesn't have to be about an huge, expensive meal. All that matters is the company, even if you end up just eating cheese sandwiches.

2. Bob's Burgers: Season 3, Episode 5

Although this one may not be entirely appropriate for all ages, it does feature an upbeat song by the famous Linda Belcher.

3. The Simpsons: Season 2, Episode 7

If you are spending Thanksgiving with a sibling that always gets on your nerves, this will be almost too relatable for you. When a big meal cannot reconcile your relationship with your bratty brother, bonding through a ridiculous episode of television might do the trick.

4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1, Episode 10

For those of you who won't be spending Thanksgiving with your biological family, this episode can remind you that your friends can be just as (or even more) supportive and fun.

5. How I Met Your Mother: Season 3, Episode 9

Who can forget the iconic holiday that is Slapsgiving?

6. Friends: Season 3, Episode 9

Yes, another Friends episode made it on the list because it's simply too good to miss. Even if you and your siblings bicker a lot, at least you're not fighting over a wooden troll.

7. That '70s Show: Season 1, Episode 9

Even though the entire episode is entertaining, the best part is the iconic outfits of the cast.

8. Seinfeld: Season 6, Episode 8

Although this lacks the traditional Thanksgiving setting, this is the perfect episode to jump into even if you have no background knowledge on the show.

9. New Girl: Season 1, Episode 9

For those of you who have experienced a dinner disaster on Thanksgiving, this episode might make you feel a little better about your inability to cook a turkey.

I don't know about you, but this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for Netflix.

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.
