Thanksgiving Movies and TV Episodes on Netflix

1 Cheers

This classic Cheers episode sees the entire gang eating their turkey and stuffing at Carla's house — until a food fight erupts. Viewers get their first and only view of Norm's wife, Vera (played by George Wendt's real-life wife Bernadette Birkett), though the unseen-character gag remains intact as she takes a pumpkin pie to the face before anyone can see her.

3 Friends

Friends set a high bar with its annual Thanksgiving episodes, featuring everything from amazing flashbacks to a hilarious touch football game to some famous guest stars (Brad Pitt, Christina Applegate). Can any show ever top Friends in sheer volume of legendary Turkey Day episodes? Highly unlikely.

With five different Thanksgiving episodes, Jess and the guys always manage to go off the traditional Thanksgiving rails. Whether it's Jess trying to Parent Trap her mom and dad or Schmidt declaring Thanksgiving will be "Bangsgiving" instead, each episode is funnier than the last.

11 Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy also has multiple great Thanksgiving episodes (which makes sense given the show has been running since 2005). Check out "Thanks For the Memories" from season two, "Holidaze" from season six, or "Somebody I Used to Know" from season 10 for classic Grey's drama with a holiday twist.
