Every Friends Thanksgiving episode, ranked

Could there be a better show to marathon on Thanksgiving than “Friends?” “Friends” is a classic show to watch on turkey day, since each season had an episode devoted to the holiday.It doesn’t hurt that it’s a crowd-pleasing watch for the whole family, too. Last year, the viewing experience was especially poignant, since Matthew Perry, who played Chandler, died at age 54 on Oct.

It’s another good episode, but not the most memorable among the Thanksgiving-themed ones, and doesn’t have a colorful guest star.In this Season 9 episode, Rachel’s sister (Christina Applegate) comes to dinner and offends everyone.
