Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s The Best Thanksgiving Sitcom Episode Ever
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
I’ve posted this before, but there’s no reason not to share it again, especially since I’m not sure that you’ll be able to catch it on television as has been the case in recent years.
When it comes to sitcom holiday episodes, there’s not much that can beat, Turkey’s Away, perhaps the one episode of WKRP In Cincinnati that even people who were not alive when the show aired are familiar with.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s the Hulu version. Unfortunately, thanks to copyright issues I believe that much of the music originally featured on this episode has been replaced, nonetheless it’s still worth watching:
Or, you can just skip to the most important parts:
That is a classic! I bought all of the WKRP episodes on DVD a few months ago and play one or two when I need some cheering up.
Doug, please! Us long-time OTB readers need to see President Bartlett call the Butterball hotline. Never mind, I did it myself, here it is: http://youtu.be/zQsvcs9IB8A
This show also has the potential for its own Ginger-Mary Ann debate. And once again, I find myself leaning toward Mary Ann.
My absolute all time favorite Thanksgiving episode of any TV show, followed closely by the Friends Thanksgiving episode where Rachel makes the beef trifle. Both of them make me laugh until I cry.
