It's been well-documented that the majority of Friends' Thanksgiving episodes
are classics.   Now that this is Friends' last season, we can rank each one
against each other.   What's your most favorite/least favorite Thanksgiving ep?
  Here are your choices:

S1: TOW Underdog Gets Away (109) S2: TOW The List (208) S3: TOW The Football (309) S4: TOW Chandler In A Box (408) S5: TOW All The Thanksgivings (508) S6: TOW Ross Got High (609) S7: TOW Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs (708) S8: TOW The Rumor (809) S9: TOW Rachel's Other Sister (908) S10: TOW The Late Thanksgiving (1008)

My favorite is the S5 ep, with Fat Monica and Rachel with her old nose, Chandler and Ross dressed up like Crockett and Tubbs of Miami Vice, Joey with his head in the turkey, and Phoebe with her past lives as a nurse on the front line. One of the most creative and hilarious Friends episodes ever. The writers most have worked overtime for that one.

My least favorite is the S7 ep, that one seemed like the writers just phoned it in. Ross trying to name all the state capitals? Seemed very contrived, and not really that funny IMHO.

That's a tough one...between 309, 408, 508 and 609. Least favorite, probably 908, 208 or 1008. Although 309 is just hilarious, with all the rivalry, between Monica and Ross, and between Joey, Chandler and the dutch girl.

Time differences sure are interesting. It's already 4:45PM here. Do you spend all your mornings on newsgroups? :)

So what do *you* read while eating breakfast? ; )

(Seriously, breakfast is when I catch up on news/email)

Errr... During the week it's the sports section of our newspaper (it's *so* clich�, isn't it?), if I can get my eyelids open at all - I have to get up at 6.00 o'clock lately and I'm even less of a morning person than Rachel.

I can't use the computer and have breakfast at the same time, maibly because my computer is not in the kitchen where I have breakfast ;)

Not always. Sometimes I tell myself, "I will NOT read newsgroups this morning. I will do something more (fill in positive adjective here: 'productive,' 'responsible,' 'constructive.')." That sometimes works, but other times, I'll think, "Oh, just a quick scan of (fill in one newsgroup)." Sometimes I just do a quick scan of that newsgroup, but other times, I'll go ahead and check out some more. Yeah, it's an illness. ;)

Wow.  Seems like the majority of the people who replied to my post didn't like
last week's Thanksgiving episode very much (1008) compared to other
Thanksgiving eps, ranking it at or near the bottom.   I thought it was a good
episode, certainly not spectacular like 508, and not as good as the last two
years (can't beat guest stars like Brad Pitt and Christina Applegate), but
certainly no clunker like 708.   JMO of course.

What was the problem with episode 1008 that people didn't like about it? Just curious.

What was so wrong with 1008? I seriously thought that it was the best episode ever. I was laughing so hard with the whole floating heads thing. I watched it four times. When Joey got stuck in the door...lol.
