Four Classic Holiday Specials to Watch on Thanksgiving
November 24, 2015
Ah, it’s Thanksgiving Day. What is a couch potato to do? Here are some Thanksgiving specials for all you lazy bones out there (considering if your dad is not hogging the TV for the annual Cowboys game).
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Why not start off the list with a classic? This well-known special involves Peppermint Patty inviting herself to Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving dinner even though he is supposed to be at his grandmother’s.
Bart vs. Thanksgiving
Here is another Thanksgiving classic, this second season episode finds the dysfunctional Simpsons family trying to keep it together for Thanksgiving dinner.
Hellen Keller! The Musical
This “South Park” episode finds the kids rehearsing “The Miracle Worker” for their “Thanksgiving Extravaganza.” However, after getting word that the kindergarteners’ play has special effects, they decide up the ante on their play. As the title of the episode suggests (and considering the fact it’s “South Park”), this is definitely not for the easily offended.
An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal
Although this episode of “Bob’s Burgers” is a fairly recent one (if 2012 counts as recent), only time will tell if this one becomes a Thanksgiving classic. In this episode, Bob Belcher reluctantly lends out his family to his landlord for a Thanksgiving dinner with an old flame in exchange for five months of free rent.
