In 1994, hit television sitcom, Friends, aired ‘The One Where Underdog Gets Away’ – a Thanksgiving-themed episode of the popular comedy show. The episode was broadcast to coincide with the holiday season, to provide the hilarious sitcom with a spot of turkey-infused fun.

Due to the popularity of the episode, with audiences enjoying this little bit of Thanksgiving mirth and merriment, Friends returned to the Thanksgiving holiday in future seasons. Continuing the following year, the show featured one Thanksgiving episode per season, to make it an annual tradition.

And even after Friends ended its run, the Thanksgiving fun continued via the Friends spin-off show, Joey. The short-lived comedy follow-up to Friends incorporated a Thanksgiving instalment into its second season.

But if you’re new to Friends (and Joey), and would really love to watch the Thanksgiving episodes, what are the stories you need to look out for? Well, for all the details and more, keep on reading!
