Thanksgiving TV episodes don’t always get the spotlight, but they deliver some of the best holiday storytelling — packed with family chaos, heartfelt moments, and hilarious disasters. From classic sitcoms to modern favorites, these episodes use Turkey Day traditions, mishaps, and emotional reunions to explore relationships in ways Halloween and Christmas rarely do.

From Parenthood and This Is Us’ emotional family rituals to the comedic mayhem of Gilmore Girls, Bob’s Burgers, Modern Family, and Friends, Thanksgiving becomes the perfect backdrop for misunderstandings, reconciliations, and overstuffed drama.

This curated list highlights 32 standout Thanksgiving episodes — including iconic entries like WKRP in Cincinnati’s famous “Turkeys Away,” Friends’ unforgettable flashbacks, Bob’s Burgers’ “Turkey in a Can,” Master of None’s Emmy-winning “Thanksgiving,” and Cheers’ classic “Thanksgiving Orphans.”

Whether you’re craving heartfelt family moments, nostalgic throwbacks, or total turkey-fueled chaos, these episodes offer the perfect binge for the holiday season.
