Your must-watch Thanksgiving TV episodes?

The NYT ran an article listing their "classic" Thanksgiving episodes - and I give the article a D-!

They only listed 1 of my four must-watch episodes: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

The rest of their list was mostly crap.

Here are my other three:

Big Bang Theory: The Thanksgiving Decoupling. One of their finest episodes ever. Hilarious start to finish.

Bob Newhart Show: Over the River and Through the Woods. MORE GOO! Need I say more?!?!?!

The Simpsons: Bart vs. Thanksgiving. People forget how sweet the early seasons of this show actually were.

What are yours?

It's not one of my favorites, but it's really famous and really popular!
