It’s not uncommon for popular television shows to tap into the spirit of the holiday season.
Among the most-featured holidays is Thanksgiving, with characters facing both tense dramatics and comedic antics.
This year, USDish has compiled a list of the most searched Thanksgiving-themed TV episodes, using viewership numbers and IMDb data.
No surprise, beloved sitcom “Friends” not only tops the list but dominates it, earning 10 of the top 15 slots.

Meanwhile, Monica battles with a synthetic chocolate substitute after getting a new job, Phoebe writes a song about Ross’ love triangle and Rachel finds out about the list of pros and cons, putting their future together on thin ice.
