The best episodes of Bob’s Burgers are the ones that capture the desperate need children have to express themselves, even at the cost of embarrassment, like when Tina shares her fanfiction or Gene takes over the school's morning announcements.

That’s why the stakes feel so inflated when the central mystery revolves around how his meticulously brined turkey, a culinary achievement he treats with the solemnity of a religious artifact, repeatedly ends up neck-down in the toilet.

Nearly every year, Bob’s Burgers releases a Thanksgiving-themed episode. And these tend to be some of the best episodes of the year, often pushing Bob—who loves the holiday—to his breaking point and featuring charming moments between all the family members.

Thanksgiving is the most Bob Belcher holiday. If you love Bob’s Burgers, you’ll totally get it and the patriarch’s devotion to the dinner. It’s where the family sits around a table and can enjoy a whole and hearty delicious meal.

Sure, Friends may have some compelling and entertaining Thanksgiving episodes. Can we deny the power of Monica putting her head in a turkey or Rachel’s trifle fail? Certainly not. And what about How I Met Your Mother or Gilmore Girls?
