The best Thanksgiving movies/tv episodes

So..little known fact about me... I love holidays. I love all of the holidays. I love St.Patrick's day as much as Halloween and Labor day..and well I like all of them ok. The only thing I like more than holidays are movies that are about holidays.  So with thanksgiving coming up I thought I'd give everyone a list of the best Thanksgiving movies and tv episodes out there. Of course there are tons, and if you didn't know the Goldburgs, the Middle and New girl currently always do a Thanksgiving episode..below are some of my favorites I've seen over the years..


1. WKRP in Cincinnati -Turkeys away
This has to be one of the funniest moments in TV history. 
Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson has a big idea for an unforgettable Thanksgiving promo for the radio station he manages - drop live turkeys from a helicopter into a crowd waiting below. OH! The humanity!!!


2. Cheers- Thanksgiving Orphans
 This essential Cheers episode has only gotten funnier over the years. It’s now considered not only one of the best episodes of the NBC comedy, but one of TV’s greatest half-hours, ever. ... which saw the cast viciously pelting each other with Thanksgiving side dishes while the studio audience roared in approval.

3. Friends- The One With All the Thanksgivings
It’s tough to pick just one episode of  Friends, since the show made it an annual tradition to have a show devoted to Turkey Day, and quite honestly I usually watch all the thanksgiving episodes.I love how this one has the gang in their late teens and early college years.


4. Bob's Burgers- Turkey in a can
This show also has quite a few Thanksgiving episodes but my favorite has to be the Turkey in a Can episode. Bob has a new Turkey recipe he wants to try but every time he buys a turkey it mysteriously ends up in the toilet.


5.A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving-
Patty invites herself over for Thanksgiving. I'm guessing you have seen this one.

6. South Park- Starvin' Marvin
The boys send money to an African charity hoping to get a sports watch, but are instead sent an Ethiopian child whom they call "Starvin' Marvin".  Cartman gets sent to Ethiopia, where he learns Sally Struthers is hoarding the charity's food for herself. Also, genetically engineered turkeys attack South Park.


7. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia -The Gang Squashes Their Beefs
After the gang finds out they can’t rent the movie they want to watch over Thanksgiving due to an unsquashed beef with the McPoyles and they can’t eat the hoagies they want from the WaWa due to their unsquashed beef with Gail the Snail, they decide to bring everyone they have problems with over for a Thanksgiving to squash the beef. For the record..no beefs are squashed.


8. Plains, Trains, and Automobiles
Steve Martin's marketing executive just wants to get home to New York for Thanksgiving but well, fate and John Candy's shower-ring salesman stop that from happening. The pillow scene remains an all time classic gag.

 9. Dutch
Al bundy goes to pick up his girlfriends snobby son and they go on a crazy road trip.


10. Amazing Stories -Thanksgiving
A poor orphaned girl living in the desert with her mean stepfather gets a Thanksgiving suprise at the bottom of a well.

BONUS!
11. Aqua Teen Hunger Force- The Dressing
The Aqua Teens are visited by a robotic turkey the week after Thanksgiving
