“Can
someone
vacuum
before
they
arrive?”
Chances
are
you’ve
heard
one
of
your
parents
make
that
request
if
you
are
home
for
Thanksgiving,
a
time
filled
with
turkey
and
stuffing
yourself
with
the
requisite
mashed
potatoes,
pumpkin
pie
and
a
whole
lot
of
awkward
small
talk
with
those
distant
family
members
you
see
about
as
often
as
you
go
to
the
dentist.
“I
know,
I
can’t
believe
it’s
been
so
long.” “Yes,
I’m
still
single.” “No,
I
haven’t
watched
Yellowstone
yet.”
And
let’s
not
even
get
started
on
the
moment
when
politics
inevitably
comes
up
two
or
three
wine
bottles
later.
And
that’s
why
you
need
comfort
food.
No,
we’re
not
talking
about
Aunt
Maureen’s
green
bean
casserole
and
the
rest
of
the
feast
you’re
impatiently
waiting
to
dive
into,
we’re
talking
about
comfort
food
for
your
soul
that
only
a
treasured
TV
show
or
movie
can
provide.
So
if
you’re
looking
for
a
cozy
distraction
right
now,
we’ve
rounded
up
some
of
our
favorite
Thanksgiving-themed
episodes
of
shows
like
Gossip
Girl,
How
I
Met
Your
Mother
and
Friends
(could
the
NBC
series
be
any
better
at
celebrating
the
football-
and
feast-focused
holiday), as
well
as
a
few
movies
about
Turkey
Day.
