Many series have had Thanksgiving episodes, which I do not consider "specials." Still, I suppose I might as well at least list some of them, in passing. At least the ones I personally remember (even vaguely) seeing; surely there have been many I've seen that I've forgotten, and many more that I've never seen at all. I'm not going to be saying much of anything about the episodes here, so perhaps you'll find the links useful.
