Over-Indulging On Thanksgiving
Over-indulging on Thanksgiving is a nation-wide event every year here in the USA. So I figured why not over-indulge on Thanksgiving entertainment this year as well. I am planning a week long (Thurs. - Thurs.) Thanksgiving marathon.... to attempt to see if I can watch every Thanksgiving episode of any of the TV Series I own on DVD... as well as watch any Thanksgiving episodes that air on TV (of the shows I Watch) within the week (Nov. 18th - 25th). So far looking through my collection I came up with...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer :
* Pangs
Commander in Chief:
* The Mom Who Came to Dinner
Dharma & Greg:
* The First Thanksgiving
Everybody Loves Raymond:
* Turkey or Fish
* No Fat
* No Thanks
Friends:
* The One Where Underdog Gets Away
* The One With the List
* The One With the Football
* The One With Chandler in the Box
* The One With All the Thanksgivings
* The One Where Ross Got High
* The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs
* The One With the Rumor
* The One With Rachel's Other Sister
* The One With the Late Thanksgiving
Full House:
* The Miracle of Thanksgiving
Grey's Anatomy:
* Thanks for the Memories
How I Met Your Mother:
* Belly Full of Turkey
The Incredible Hulk:
* Homecoming
The Jeff Foxworthy Show:
* Thanksgiving
Party of Five:
* Thanksgiving
Picket Fences:
* Thanksgiving
Reba:
* Thanksgiving
* Invasion
Roseanne:
* Thanksgiving '91
Sabrina: The Teenage Witch:
* Love Means Having to Say Your Sorry
Spin City:
* The Competition
Sports Night:
* Thespis
Too Close for Comfort:
* Rafkin's Bum
Now I don't know if I will actually make it and watch everything I own within the one week... but I think it will be a fun challenge. I may have some more Thanksgiving episodes as well... I will be searching on the net about any more I may have missed... as well as asked on another forum. If there is any more I missed I will add them to the list as I find out about them.... still attempting to watch them all within the week.
-
You don't have the season of How I Met Your Mother that has Slapsgiving? Or Slapsgiving II or whatever they called it when the slap bet came up again.
-
Nope... only been able to get season 1 so far.
-
Wow..I have more seasons of a series than you..never thought that would happen. ;)
Ok..I was thinking you had more of them.
-
I am wondering if I should just go down the line and watch them in order from Buffy to Too Close for Comfort... or jump around.
I am thinking jumping around would be better... especially just in case I find more episodes I need to watch. I would probably end up having to watch them out of order anyway if that happens.
-
You should watch whatever strikes your fancy - it seems like it would be more fun that way.
-
I just need to make sure I watch all the hour long shows before Thanksgiving Day. Since I do all the cooking in the house... I will be much to busy to watch more then a couple half hour shows on Thanksgiving Day.
-
Well... I start this marathon today. To make it and watch all the episodes I have on DVD within the week... I must watch between 4 and 5 episodes each day. Not impossible... but at the same time challenging. Especially considering I want to add in shows that I record in the evenings from TV.
-
If it wasn't challenging, where would the fun be? Go for it!

Experience the complete second season of TV's most compelling show in an expansive 27-episode DVD set. Witness every minute of the thrilling drama that has become a television event for fans and critics alike. "Week after week, the entire show is mcdreamy," raves USA Today.
Life gets even more intense for the doctors and interns of Seattle Grace Hospital in year two as Meredith and Derek's relationship goes from odd to downright insane with the arrival of Derek's wife, and Alex lets his Izzie obsession out of the bag. You "can't stop watching," says TV Guide.
Experience Grey's Anatomy: Season 2 — Uncut with over five hours of never-before-seen bonus features, including four extended episodes with scenes too steamy for TV, behind-the-scenes interviews and so much more.

Episode Watched:
Thanks for the Memories
Thanksgiving arrives at Seattle Grace, as George endures another year of O'Malley family tradition while Meredith tends to a coma patient awake after 16 years.
My Thoughts:
This is a fun episode. Not surprisingly most the interns ends back at the hospital... but for me the most entertaining reason is George. He is out hunting turkey with his father and two brothers... and his brother accidentally shoots their father in the ass. But the side story with Izzy and Dr. Burke is fun as well... him helping her put together a Thanksgiving dinner. I love this series... so it is a good start to this marathon... even though it does make me want to watch more episodes!

Geena Davis lights up the screen as President Mackenzie Allen, earning a Golden Globe® award for Best Actress in the show's inaugural season. Experience the first ten thrilling episodes of the captivating drama, starring Davis, Emmy® Award winner Donald Sutherland and an acclaimed cast.
When the President of the United States dies in office, his independent Vice President ventures into territory no woman has ever entered before. Now, the nation's first female Commander In Chief must balance the pressures of running the country and the responsibility of raising a family - while facing a sustained torrent of underhanded attacks from the Speaker Of The House (Sutherland). It's an exhilarating blend of suspense and drama that O, The Oprah Magazine calls, "realistic and riveting!"

Episode Watched:
The Mom Who Came to Dinner
It's Thanksgiving at the White House, and Mackenzie's mom, Kate Allen, comes to spend the holiday. Mac, in an effort to rise above the political fray, invites Nathan Templeton and his wife to join them for dinner... which Kate insists on cooking herself, bucking protocol. Meanwhile, when an independent commission proposes the closing of a major naval base in Mac's home state of Connecticut - which would be devastating to the local economy - Rod brings in Richard "Dickie" McDonald, a savvy media consultant, to help with her image and lagging poll numbers. And in the midst of all this, Mac weighs the fate of a woman on death row.
My Thoughts:
This is a show that while I found a little on the slow side... I got addicted to in it's short run. I always thought Geena Davis pulled off the first female president rather well. I did find this is a hard show to watch in this type of a marathon... as I couldn't remember all the stuff that came before it... and it is a very serialized series. You really know what happened before it to keep up. But still enjoyable all the same.

Episode Watched:
PANGS
Warned that Buffy may be in great danger, Angel returns to Sunnydale just as the spirit of a Chumash warrior rises to avenge the death of his people.
My Thoughts:
This is an episode that I always found to be a lot of fun. They mixed in a lot of comedy in this episode. I also like the fact that this episode brings back Angel. One thing that always bugged me about this episode though... and this is a minor thing... the final shot of the episode where everyone looks over at a shocked Buffy... Spike has the most goofiest look on his face.... and it always draws my attention... and I have to just shake my head with disappointment in that last shot.

Eccentricity defines daily life in Rome, Wisconsin, where the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz is murdered, a student brings a severed hand to school for show-and-tell, and a woman runs over her husband with a steamroller pleading "not guilty by reason of menopause". Sheriff Jimmy Brock has seen it all. Indeed, behind the tidy picket fences of this quirky little town lie all the same problems and prejudices found in the big city, except in a small town everyone seems to know everyone else's business -- or thinks they do!
|
My Thoughts:
I am going to say the same thing about this show as I did the first time I watched it. It is a very addicting show... very entertaining... but it is also very preachy! All the same... I would still like to see the remainder sets released. This episode in particular I am not all that happy with. It is an alright episode... but too much fighting... to much drama for a holiday episode.

HOMECOMING
When he learns that his father may lose his land, David develops a biological weapon to fight a crop-destroying plague.
My Thoughts:
Watching this one not to long ago for my The Incredible Hulk Marathon thread (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,6436.msg115595.html#msg115595) (I really need to get back to that one!)... I couldn't remember this being a Thanksgiving episode. But after watching it again... I realized it was mentioned in several parts of the story... including David's family inviting Mr. McGee to stay for Thanksgiving dinner at the end... giving David time to get as far away as possible without having to look over his shoulder the whole way. It really is a good episode. I like that he let his father and sister know he is still alive and out there. And that they got to see first hand why he is on the run.

Thanksgiving
Karen's plans for an intimate Thanksgiving dinner are upset by some uninvited guests.
My Thoughts:
A fun episode. I always enjoyed this sitcom... but that could be because it reminds me so much of my area... where it is loaded with rednecks... making me feel right at home watching. Their Thanksgiving dinner quickly goes from an intimate family only 4 person dinner to a 17 person feast... with friends, family and even the local bum showing up.

The One Where Underdog Gets Away
Monica plans a lovely, quiet Thanksgiving feast in her apartment but her plans go awry.
My Thoughts:
Friends Thanksgiving episodes quickly became a tradition.... we ended up with one every season. This is the first one. It is a really fun episode... between no one really wanting to be there... the dinner getting ruined... Ross talking to the baby inside his Ex-Wife's belly... and Joey being on the poster for VD there was plenty to laugh at.

Rachel makes a painful discovery concerning Ross. Monica's new boss gives her an impossible task.

While a decent episode... it has very little to do with Thanksgiving. It is basically just mentioned in a couple places... and has Monica trying to create recipes for the chocolate substitute Mocklate. This one centers mostly around Ross messing up with Rachel.

The One with Chandler in a Box
Still angry over the Kathy kiss, Joey punishes Chandler by shutting him in a box on Thanksgiving. Monica gets a surprise when she visits the eye doctor.
My Thoughts:
Not a bad episode... but not as good as some of the previous. Really is just an average episode. The first time I saw the whole box thing I thought it was funny... but it seems after all the years and multiple times of viewing it... it just seemed to loose some of it's appeal. And it just isn't as funny as the first couple times of seeing it.

A decent episode... but this show still just barely keeps my attention. It is fine for recording since nothing else is on at the time... but if something came on at the same time I wanted to tape I would go with the other show.

I found that I just don't care for the Thanksgiving episodes as much as the other holiday episodes... so I just don't have the desire to force feed myself all the episodes I own that deals with Thanksgiving. Though I do plan to continue this marathon... just not as originally intended. From this point on I will just be sure to watch at least 1 Thanksgiving episode each day up till (and including) Thanksgiving day.
So I accept that I failed what I originally intended... but hey if you are just not enjoying it all that much... then what's the point... right? :P

Take three little girls, their recently widowed father, and two of dad's best buddies, put them in the same household, and stand back for a Full House of laughs, love and warmth.
Enjoy all 22 Season One episodes (plus wonderful extras!) of the smash-hit series that ran from 1987 to 1995. Bob Saget plays Danny Tanner, the girls' doting dad. John Stamos is their rock-'n'-rollin' Uncle Jesse. Dave Coulier is Joey, a wannabe comic whose best audience is right at home. And the three Tanner youngsters are played by Candice Cameron, Jodie Sweetin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who share the role of nine-month-old scene stealer Michelle. Their house is your house!

Episode Watched:
The Miracle of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving may be a turkey this year: D.J.'s holiday bird came out of the oven still frozen solid.
My Thoughts:
This is a series I used to watch when it originally aired. My wife and I never missed it. But this is the first time I have watched an episode in a while. This one is pretty good... but it does make you think about the people that is no longer with you for the holidays. So watching this one... the whole time I was thinking of my wife who passed away 15 years ago next month... and my mother who passed away last year.
My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

I got to watch 2 Thanksgiving episodes today... just couldn't get enough time to write decent reviews for them. But I watch 2 episodes that aired last night which I recorded and watched today.
First one was The Middle... an alright series. It has been good enough to continue watching... but I don't know... it hasn't impressed me a great deal. A decent Thanksgiving episode though... had a couple chuckles in it.
Then I watched Cougar Town... this one I liked a bit more then The Middle... had a few decent laughs in it. Was definitely worth watching.
