When thinking of your top five favorite shows, how many of them had Thanksgiving eps? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My favorite shows are Jeffersons, Three's Company, Married With Children, Cosby show and Family Matters

I think combined out of all those shows it may have been 2 Thanksgiving eps out of a total of 45 seasons

I know the Jeffersons and Three's Company had 0. I think Married with Children and cosby had 1. Not sure about family matters

My favorite shows are probably Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, The Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes.

Two of those shows, Buffy and DS, had Thanksgiving episodes. The Buffy episode, "Pangs", was hilarious; a total classic. Doctor Who and Game of Thrones didn't have turkey day episodes, as it's not celebrated in England and Westeros, respectively.

I can understand Sanford and Son not having one but I was surprised ODAAT didnt have one since she was a MOM with two daughters

Leave It To Beaver & Dennis the Menace never had Thanksgiving episodes.

I know ! Totally, they should have had at least one ! And than in season 9 with both Julie and Barbara married and sharing a house with their Husbands out of their Mother's apt.would have been a perfect opportunity to do a Thanksgiving ep.!
