I’ve watched a lot of Thanksgiving episodes over the years, and I really do mean A LOT. There’s something about watching everyone’s dinner plans fall apart on screen that reminds me why this time of year is never as calm as it pretends to be.
If you’re anything like me, you probably find a strange comfort in that too. So here’s my very honest and EXTREMELY serious ranking of the Thanksgiving episodes I keep returning to every single year.
At this point, I’m emotionally invested in TV turkeys more than real ones. After this, please don’t roast me like a Thanksgiving turkey. 🦃
