So, collegiettes. It’s that time. Turkey Day is on its way. Grab your fat pants, a plate of your favorite foods, and park your fanny on the couch in front of the television. Whether you’ll be home for the holidays (or not) watching Thanksgiving themed shows is a must. If you’re with family, Thanksgiving TV allows for you to spend time with relatives and not have to answer embarrassing questions about your significant other (or, in some cases, lack thereof). And if you won’t be making the trek back home, then Thanksgiving TV gives you the chance to live vicariously through television families.
For your viewing pleasure, I have compiled a list of Thanksgiving themed classics, as well as some newer shows you should be watching if you aren’t already. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Collegiettes! And, remember, don’t over do it with the Turkey… food comas aren’t very lady-like.
Friends:
One of America’s favorite sitcoms. This show has ten seasons worth of Thanksgiving episodes! Have fun – they’ll be there for you.
Modern Family:
They didn’t get all of those Emmys for nothing! Plus, this show has humorous bits to get everyone in the family spewing cranberry sauce out of their noses.
Parenthood:
This show is VERY underrated. The soundtrack deserves all the awards. Watch the Thanksgiving episode. And then go ahead and watch all the others, while you’re at it.
Full House:
Miss Danny Tanner’s hugs, and the smoldering John Stamos? Tune in to Full House. You got it, dude!
The Cosby Show:
Have a Happy Thanksgiving with the Huxtables! As an added bonus, you can get cute sweater ideas from Mr. Cosby (they are in style this season).
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving:
Join the Peanuts Gang for this TV special that airs annually on ABC.
Honorable Mentions:
Gilmore Girls, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Brady Bunch, How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons, Boy Meets World, 7th Heaven…. Really, what show doesn’t have a Thanksgiving special?
**All of these shows can be found on Netflix, Hulu, and on television (there will be thanksgiving marathons galore).
