PopWatchers, there are so many fun Thanksgiving clips, I couldn’t narrow down the list. Enjoy.
C.J. asking Bartlet to pardon another turkey:
Debbie Downer:
A very Walsh Thanksgiving from original 90210, complete with grumpy Kelly and moody Brenda:
The last part of Cheers’ “Thanksgiving Orphans” episode:
Sydney goes to prostitute Thanksgiving on Melrose Place:
Jerry and Kramer watching Mr. Pitt struggle with the Woody Woodpecker balloon:
A drunk Sookie on Gilmore Girls:
And finally, WKRP In Cincinnati’s “Turkeys Away” in its entirety:
What’s the ultimate Thanksgiving clip, PopWatchers? I’m all ears.

Please. The WKRP Turkey Drop reigns supreme!!
As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly
It’s been decades since I first saw that episode and I will never stop feeling sorry for poor Les but the visual it conjures up makes it the winner here!
On another note: this exchange in The West Wing clip you posted might give the producers of next year’s Academy Awards pause: CJ:” The pardoned turkey gets to go live in a children’s zoo, the runner-up gets eaten”. President Bartlet responds,”If the Oscars were like that, I might watch.” Love it.
“Giblets for Murray” from Mad About You. Come on, it involves a turkey being thrown out a window into NYC traffic, and a turkey being stolen from a hallway.
The Thanksgiving Play in Addams Family Values, OBVIOUSLY.
i sing that song every thanksgiving when we’re about to cut the turkey! best movie thanksgiving moment!
I’m giggling at the thought. “Eat me! Today is Thanksgiving day!”
Oh Gilmore Girls, how I miss you.
@Alex, I second that emotion.
But my favorite Thanksgiving episode is “A Moveable Feast” from “Will & Grace,” Season 4. Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen climb into a car to visit each of their respective families, and is a real classic.
love this episode! funny every time.
Any How I Met Your Mother Thanksgiving episode. Slapsgiving. Thankstini.
wkrp is the best and it always will be
thanks for this collection and walk down memory lane
I love drunk Sookie! But the funniest is Newhart’s Thanksgiving (moo goo- goo goo…) I think it edged out WKRP for my fav. Thanksgiving episode.
More goo to go!
Some of the others were very good, but when Les Nessman describes the turkeys plummeting to the ground is one of the funniest things Ive ever seen on television.
Oh, drunk Sookie… Love Melissa McCarthy!
WKRP is the most iconic Thanksgiving TV. My family took a break from making food and preparing for company to watch the episode together this morning.
WKRP is one of the best shows ever – consistently funny from the first episode to the last.
Oh, the humanity… the Pinedale Shopping Mall has been bombed with live turkeys! WKRP still rules!
How about President Bartlet calling the Butterball hotline?! “I do radio advertisements for… products”
That one was great…And then the yelling out to the secretary to look up the zip code…I miss the West Wing.
