As we approach Thanksgiving and the feasts of food (and TV) that come with it, here are all 8 Thanksgiving episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, ranked. Each season's outing features holiday high-jinx, heated arguments, and more than a couple faux pas that, no matter how cringe-worthy, make us feel better about our own families. From clashing in-laws, to Debra choosing to cook a fish instead of a turkey, to a Thanksgiving meal without the fat, Raymond's Thanksgiving episodes bring the humor in clever and relatable ways. The show was never short on holiday episodes (or dysfunction), and its Thanksgiving episodes were some of the series' best - so much so that networks frequently run them in a back-to-back marathon on or near the holiday. Like its sister shows, The King of Queens and Home Improvement, Raymond's laughs stem from its relatable comedy, riffs on middle-class woes, and its cast of quirky supporting characters like Ray's brother, Robert ( Brad Garrett), and their parents, Frank ( Peter Boyle) and Marie ( Doris Roberts). The sitcom about Long Island sportswriter, Ray Barone ( Ray Romano), his wife, Debra ( Patricia Heaton), and their three kids ran for 210 episodes over 9 seasons from 1996-2005.
