10 Best Thanksgiving TV Episodes

8. Bob's Burgers - 'An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal'

Friends all thanksgivings
FX

Thanksgiving is Bob's favourite holiday - so much so that he cries with joy when buying a turkey - but when Fischoeder offers him a free month (or five) of rent if Bob's family pretend to be his own in order to impress a woman, it's too good an offer to pass up. Bob, meanwhile, has to take on the role of the cook in the facade but to get through the ordeal he starts chugging absinthe.

The rest of the Belcher family are busy acting their hearts out to try and win arcade tickets; their reward for convincing performances. In classic Bob's Burgers fashion, you're just waiting for things to escalate and, boy, when things explode in this one they do so in magnificent fashion. If you thought Bob's Thanksgiving toast was bad, just wait until one of the guests starts chasing him around a mansion with a rifle. You know, just standard family stuff.
