10 Best Thanksgiving TV Episodes

2. Arrested Development - Indian Takers

Netflic

Indian Takers is the third episode of the fourth season of cult comedy Arrested Development. Originally cancelled after three seasons, the show was revived by Netflix for a fourth (and later fifth), though these new episodes haven't gone without some criticism.

The separation of the cast in Season Four was something that disappointed many fans and critics, though It was essential to get the season made at all. Nevertheless, the fourth season still produced some hilarious moments, and Indian Takers is one of the highlights. The episode centres on Lindsay (circling a specific character each episode is the fourth season's main gimmick) and her journey of self-discovery after separating from Tobias.

A flashback to their previous Thanksgivings provides one of the funniest moments in the entire show, and gives a poignant reality to the fact she and Tobias are no more. Though words will never do it justice, the flashback sees Tobias and company attempt to usher a live duck into the oven for cooking. Later, during the present Thanksgiving, the family gets another feathered surprise.
