Netflix Shows With Thanksgiving Specials

It's Thanksgiving, and that means it's time to cuddle up in your post-dinner coma and watch your favorite Thanksgiving episodes on TV. Maybe you love your family or maybe they drive you a bit crazy. Go ahead and escape for awhile and celebrate with someone else's family and friends. Here are some of the best shows with Thanksgiving episodes to watch, in no particular order:

New Girl

With four Thanksgiving episodes, New Girl offers plenty of festive options! There's a parent trap, a camping trip, and "Bangs-giving." Isn't it how we all imagine Thanksgiving as adults?

Season 1, Episode 6; Season 2, Episode 8; Season 3, Episode 10; Season 4, Episode 9.

Friends

Yet another escape from our own families into the ideal Thanksgiving as adults. Remember when Joey got his head stuck in a turkey? I sure do. Or when Underdog got away? Or the multiple kinds of potatoes? With an episode in every season, you'll have your fill of Friends Thanksgiving festivities.

Season 1, Episode 9; Season 2, Episode 8; Season 3, Episode 9; Season 4, Episode 8; Season 5, Episode 8; Season 6, Episode 9; Season 7, Episode 8; Season 8, Episode 8; Season 9, Episode 8; Season 10, Episode 8.

Gossip Girl

When I think "Thanksgiving episodes," I think Gossip Girl. The Big Apple is my ideal Thanksgiving setting. A chill in the air, leaves falling in Central Park, and lots and lots of drama.

Season 1, Episode 9; Season 2, Episode 11; Season 3, Episode 11; Season 4, Episode 10; Season 6, Episode 8.

Grey's Anatomy

I'll have to argue that the Grey's Thanksgiving episode is one of the best episodes in the early seasons. Rarely do we get to see the doctors in their normal lives, celebrating normal holidays (not that they don't set foot in the hospital despite it).

Season 2, Episode 9.

How I Met Your Mother

HIMYM Thanksgiving episodes mainly consist of Slapsgiving. Who doesn't love a good Slapsgiving? I'm also beginning to see an adult/friend theme here? Maybe they've figured out that Thanksgiving with friends is much better than drama with family? We'll have to try that...

Season 1, Episode 9; Season 3, Episode 9; Season 5, Episode 9; Season 6, Episode 10; Season 9, Episode 14.

Gilmore Girls

Isn't Stars Hollow the epitome of fall? What a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving. The Gilmore Girls never disappoint us. And what a perfect way to prepare for watching the revival!

Epsiode 3, Episode 9; Season 6, Episode 10.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy watching!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
