Which are your favorite and least favorite Thanksgiving episodes? Why?

[–] OldFriendOfTheChristys 8 years ago

Favorite: 'We Gather Together'. I love how full the house is, and how both sets of parents (Al/Bev, Ed/Audrey) are present. Roseanne looks very good in this episode too.

Least favorite: 'Thanksgiving '94'. Dark. Depressing. Unfunny.

I'll second this exactly. And We Gather Together was also so real and relatable. I still laugh at "why don't you climb in there and weigh it?" I also love the normal father-daughter interplay with Roseanne and Al (of course, this was before they decided to monkey around with Al's character and turn him into a horrible abusive maniac who's been cheating on his wife for 20 years.)

We Gather Together reminds me of my family whenever we were together for the holidays, specifically Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Only during Christmas I have a childhood friend that I've known since I was nearly 5 years old, and it was my family and her family and we would all get together at her grandmother's house for Secret Santa during Christmas Eve.

Favorite is "We Gather Together." It mirrors the Thanksgivings my family used to have, when we were all able to celebrate the day together. Not the arguing factor, but everything else was pretty close. So relatable! I always enjoyed being the cook, too.
