Holiday episodes are a sitcom staple. When sitcoms get full seasons, there is room for Halloween episodes, Valentine's Day episodes, and winter holiday episodes. Another sitcom classic are Thanksgiving episodes, which tend to serve anything from dinners with guest stars playing extended family members, to all the main characters gathering to share a Friendsgiving meal together for the holiday.
There are many fantastic Thanksgiving sitcom episodes out there. The holiday is perfect sitcom material, giving way to uncomfortable holiday meals, forced proximity, and secrets coming out. However, there are also some weaker holiday episodes out there. Even some of the very best sitcoms have Thanksgiving episodes that are disappointing and even downright bad.
