Ugh! Fandom! Why are you so angst-ridden?

I wants happiness! *stomps foot* So I'm gonna make some right here.

Earlier today I realized that I didn't watch Arsenic and Old Lace around Halloween like I meant to. And that made me realize that I have lots of holiday tradition movies/shows.

So let's talk Thanksgiving, 'cause that's the one that's almost here. We can talk about the others when they arrive.

What episodes (or movies!) will you be watching, those of you who are Americans or who love American TV and just want a reason to watch some great episodes?

I'm gonna be watching "Pangs," obviously, from whence comes my favorite Thanksgiving quote: "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice. With pie."

And also various West Wing episodes because nothing is more fun than listening to Sam Seaborn pitch his TV show about the Pilgrims: "By day they churn butter and worship according to their own beliefs. By night they solves crimes." ALSO TURKEYS IN CJ'S OFFICE, OKAY???

Am I missing something? What other shows have awesome Thanksgiving episodes? What do I need to be watching this week?
