Well, in the interest of AV occasionally updating these lists (as evidenced by this year’s correction at #1) I’d like to advocate for Season 4 episode 9 of Dexter. “Hungry Man” came out in 2009. This was the “Trinity Killer” season guest starring John Lithgow as the big bad. Dexter spends Thanksgiving with Arthur

How soon we forget the Veep Thanksgiving, featuring the salmonella outbreak that leads to Jonah running for the House at the urging of his uncle, Peter MacNicol.

Don’t sleep on Raised by Wolves. Scott and his son produced the show and Ridley directed S1E1. The show captured a feeling of really cerebral and weird sci-fi - 70's pulp sci-fi book cover art type stuff. I kept hoping he’d direct more episodes, but the show’s tone was held together so tightly that there wasn’t ever

I guess you did include WKRP, but did not include Cheers’ famous Thanksgiving episode and still have room for TWO New Girl Thanksgiving episodes?

Lol, this year after our yelling, they put the correct #1 at #1. 

I love New Girl and HIMYM but none of their Thanksgiving episodes stands up to what is truly the best Thanksgiving episode ever, King of the Hill’s “Happy Hank’s Giving” wherein everyone has to deal with airport madness.

Maybe they honestly don’t know...

Marvel may as well bake it into all actor contracts that they can’t definitively say they’re done with the role. Keeps the fans intrigued and the news cycle spinning.

Whoa! Huge slam on Emma Roberts out of nowhere!

Well, he caused me to shed a tear as he trapped himself in his new tree, so round of applause for a masterful bookend.

That’s a fantastic pull.

Let’s not forget this, either. A nice inversion of Loki’s first appearance in the comics.

It’s also known as ZOSO.

I preferred Placebo’s cover of “Running up that Hill” to the original - like hands-down - at least until this last go-round with Stranger Things, wherein it beat me into submission (put me in an arm-bar and made me cry uncle) - and I finally had to admit that the original was good too.

I scrolled through the list to find it and was dismayed at its absence.

Your mother came out in 1996

There are a lot of mouth watering dishes in Chef but IMO the best one was the grilled cheese sandwich he makes for his son. 

That’s not even Big Night’s best food scene. That title belongs to Primo making Segundo some eggs in one of the final scenes of the movie. It’s perfect, silent, and tells you everything about the brother’s relationship at that point.
