Green-Eyed Guide's Top 7 Thanksgiving TV Scenes

In my family, we're not allowed to mention Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. My mom always stressed that we were to spend at least a month being thankful for what we already had before even considering what to add to our Christmas lists. It is in that spirit that I've decided to devote a blog to the Thanksgiving TV moments I'm most grateful for. Feel free to share your own favorites.

ONE -- Pardoning a Turkey

C.J.
They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a 
Presidential pardon and a full life at a children’s zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

BARTLET
If the Oscars were like that, I’d watch.

TWO -- Monica Dances with Turkey

THREE -- Look Behind You

Honestly, the whole episode of "Indians in the Lobby" is hilarious, entertaining and insightful. The next one is another scene from that same episode.

 

FOUR -- The Butterball Hotline

BARTLET
Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct?

WOMAN
It can also be baked in the casserole dish.

BARTLET
Well, then we'd have to call it something else, wouldn't we?
This scene is also funny to me because I remember studying the two microbes the Hotline Lady mentions. My response to when first learning about them was pretty much the same as President Bartlet's.

FIVE -- Pilgrim Detectives and Butchering the English Language

http://youtu.be/xsVkCz9MM-Q
This scene is also from the episode Shibboleth, and this scene lays the groundwork for the scene I've put at Number ONE. 

SIX -- Chandler in a Box

http://youtu.be/Y3mPy-pnYRU?t=1m36s


SEVEN-- Brad Pitt on Friends

Really I just like this because f the irony of Brad Pitt dissing his then-girlfriend-now-ex Jennifer Anniston. There's a little truth to every joke, right?
