Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! To celebrate the occasion, I have compiled a list (I LOVE lists...can you tell??) of some of the best Thanksgiving-themed episodes of TV shows ever. Give it a look and watch a couple of these babies after the in-laws leave, the kids go to bed, the dishes are done, and you can relax on the couch. The entries are in no particular order; they are just awesome television episodes that somehow include the Thanksgiving holiday. "Thanksgiving" - GLEE I

With the release of the new Jordan Peele produced horror/satire Him this week (which, unfortunately, is one of the year's very worst movies), I thought I would go back to the origin of Peele's unique and special sensibilities, his work on the groundbreaking sketch comedy show, Key & Peele . Let's remember the much happier times, before Peele started producing terrible horror movies. I love sketch comedy. Always have, always will. And when you talk about the great sketch sho

South Park  is one of the most important, influential, and consistently brilliant television shows of all time. It’s been around for 27 years and, despite what some people might think, it never went anywhere, never lost its bite, and never stopped being relevant.

Katherine Bigelow, Me, Jamie Lee Curtis. 1990. I was just a bit happy. Jamie Lee Curtis is one of my favorite actresses of all time. No question. Period. End of sentence.

I’m talkin’ about full-blown, head-over-heels, heart-goes-thump-thump level stuff, from the moment I laid eyes on her in Halloween  in 1978 when I was 13 years old. I mean, come on. The minute she stepped on screen as Laurie Strode, I was done. Cooked. Smoked. H

There are cult shows. There are funny shows. There are shows that changed the game. Police Squad!   is all three. In fact, I’d go a step further, Police Squad!  is the single funniest television series of all time. That’s right. The funniest. Not The Office , not Arrested Development , not even SCTV  or The Simpsons . Nope. Police Squad! , six episodes, that’s it, is pure Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (ZAZ) perfection. And it changed the way comedy worked on television. Forever. Or

As a lifelong Chicagoan, I’ve been visiting the Museum of Science and Industry since I was a little kid—back when you could barely see over the exhibit signs and still got a thrill from pressing buttons just to see what happens. And honestly? Not much has changed. It’s still my favorite museum in a city packed with world-class institutions. The Art Institute might be an artistic holy site, and the Field Museum has that iconic dinosaur and oodles of ancient wonders. But for
