Episode Watched:'
Thanksgiving
Karen's plans for an intimate Thanksgiving dinner are upset by some uninvited guests.

My Thoughts:
A fun episode. I always enjoyed this sitcom... but that could be because it reminds me so much of my area... where it is loaded with rednecks... making me feel right at home watching. Their Thanksgiving dinner quickly goes from an intimate family only 4 person dinner to a 17 person feast... with friends, family and even the local bum showing up.

Episode Watched:
The One Where Underdog Gets Away
Monica plans a lovely, quiet Thanksgiving feast in her apartment but her plans go awry.


My Thoughts:
Friends Thanksgiving episodes quickly became a tradition.... we ended up with one every season.  This is the first one. It is a really fun episode... between no one really wanting to be there... the dinner getting ruined... Ross talking to the baby inside his Ex-Wife's belly... and Joey being on the poster for VD there was plenty to laugh at.

Episode Watched:
The One With the List
Rachel makes a painful discovery concerning Ross. Monica's new boss gives her an impossible task.


My Thoughts:
While a decent episode... it has very little to do with Thanksgiving. It is basically just mentioned in a couple places... and has Monica trying to create recipes for the chocolate substitute Mocklate. This one centers mostly around Ross messing up with Rachel.

Episode Watched:
The One with Chandler in a Box
Still angry over the Kathy kiss, Joey punishes Chandler by shutting him in a box on Thanksgiving. Monica gets a surprise when she visits the eye doctor.

My Thoughts:
Not a bad episode... but not as good as some of the previous. Really is just an average episode. The first time I saw the whole box thing I thought it was funny... but it seems after all the years and multiple times of viewing it... it just seemed to loose some of it's appeal. And it just isn't as funny as the first couple times of seeing it.

6 episodes... I think that is good for today. I caught up a little anyway

[addicted2dvd]

I may be jinxing myself here... but I think I will take a little break from these for today... and see if I can't fit in a few movies today. Not sure what I want to watch... but I am having a bit of trouble getting through a weekend without any movies at all.

[addicted2dvd]

Well... I thought I was in the mood for movies... until I started looking over profiler to pick something out. Now it is more like I don't know what it is I want to watch. Maybe nothing at all? I don't know. I hate when I get in this type of mood.

The One with the Rumor
Monica bumps into an old high school friend and invites him to Thanksgiving dinner with the gang - unaware that he isn't exactly fond of Rachel.

My Thoughts:
Brad Pitt guest stars in this episode. A decent episode... but not a favorite. I personally found the Joey vs. the Turkey more entertaining then the old high school rumors.

Doing this as a week long marathon... I have discovered that Thanksgiving episodes is just not as much fun to watch as the Halloween and Christmas episodes are.

Outsourced: Season 1 Outsourced is set in a Mumbai, India call center, where an American novelties company has recently outsourced its order processing. A lone American manages the call center and must explain American popular culture to his employees as he comes to understand Indian culture.

Episode Watched:
Temporary Monsanity
Todd works his employees extra hard in hopes of winning a sales competition; Charlie challenges Manmeet and Gupta to a game of laser tag.

My Thoughts:
I was wondering how they would pull off a Thanksgiving episode of this show. We got to see some Thanksgiving stuff with Todd video chatting with his family... but it mostly concentrated on the Black Friday sale. A decent episode... but this show still just barely keeps my attention. It is fine for recording since nothing else is on at the time... but if something came on at the same time I wanted to tape I would go with the other show.

Episode Watched:
The One with Rachel's Other Sister
On the night before Thanksgiving, Rachel's self-centered younger sister Amy ruins everyone's holiday dinner with her uncensored observations.

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty good episode... I enjoyed it. In this one Christina Applegate plays Rachel's sister. The character is definitely a bit of a ditz... but it is fun to watch.
