Season Two: "The One With The List"

Season two is basically all about the ups and downs between Ross and Rachel, which is both amazing and heart wrenching. The Thanksgiving episode however, makes Ross choose between Julie and Rachel and obviously he chooses Rachel. Unfortunately they have a hiccup when Ross creates a pro/con list about Rachel and she finds it, resulting in a sad and lonely holiday.

Best Quote: "It's always been you, Rach."–Ross

Season Three: "The One With The Football"

This might be one of the greatest episodes of Friends ever and definitely one of the top Thanksgiving-themed episodes. When the gang gets together to celebrate the holiday they decide to play a game of touch football while waiting for the food to cook. Between Phoebe flashing Chandler and Monica getting super competitive the Geller Bowl is pretty epic.

Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay in the series, revealed that this episode is also her personal favorite. "I really liked the one with the football. That was really funny. To me, that was when Monica got hilarious because she was so ultra-competitive. Because Monica cracks me up, I have to say. Really fun," Lisa told Zap2It.

Season Four: "The One With Chandler In A Box"

After betraying Joey's trust and hooking up with his girlfriend, Chandler puts himself in a box to prove his loyalty to his best friend. Monica also dates her ex's son in this episode and wears and eye patch. It is more serious episode, but still pretty entertaining.

Season Five: "The One With All The Thanksgivings"

If you only have time for one episode of Friends, then you should definitely choose this one. Throughout this episode the whole group reflects on their previous Thanksgivings including when Joey got a Turkey stuck to his head. This is also the first time that Chandler tells Monica that he loves her and it is adorable.

Best Quote: "It's a tradition, like the parade, if the parade decided it was gay, moved out, and abandoned its entire family." -Chandler

Season Six: "The One Where Ross Got High"

When Ross and Monica's parents join the group for dinner Chandler is uncomfortable because it comes out that he they don't like him because they think he is a pothead. Ross eventually has to come clean about smoking in college and reveal that it was not Chandler's fault. Plus, Rachel creates an "English Trifle," but accidentally adds meat, which is great.

Best Quote: "What's not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooood."–Joey

Season Seven: "The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs"

This episode isn't the best of the bunch, but any Friends Thanksgiving episode is a good idea. In this episode Tag comes to dinner and Rachel tells him that she likes him. In other news, Monica and Phoebe sneak a dog into the apartment even though Chandler claims he is allergic.

Season Eight: "The One With The Rumor"

This episode features the best guest star to appear in a Thanksgiving episode. When Brad Pitt comes to Friends, he hates Rachel and it is really funny. Brad plays Will Colbert, Ross's childhood friend who helped him create the "I Hate Rachel Green" club.

Season Nine: "The One With Rachel's Other Sister"

This episode shows Christina Applegate (who plays Amy), one of Rachel's two sisters (the other is played by Reese Witherspoon). As sisters do, they get into a huge fight and Monica tries to save her china from being a casualty in the argument.

Best Quote: "Emma is the product of a bottle of Merlot and a five-year-old condom."-Monica

Season Ten: "The One With The Late Thanksgiving"

In the final season of Friends Monica hosts Thanksgiving as she has done so many times before, but this time her friends are late and she isn't happy.
