The only thing better than stuffing your face with turkey and pie is stuffing your face with turkey and pie while watching your favorite television characters do the same. From Joey Tribbiani shoving a turkey on his head to Mr. Fischoeder attempting to borrow Bob's family for slightly nefarious reasons, there's no denying that Thanksgiving television manage to capture the family drama of the holidays with the elegant twist that you don't actually have to live through the drama yourself. So put on some pants with an elastic waistband—because it's Thanksgiving and that's what we do—and settle in for some truly epic television viewing.
