The one of the the Thanks Giving

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 22 October 2007]

Monica, and Ross decide to have Thanks giving dinner in Monica's apartment, since their parents went to Porto Rico. Phoebe joins them, since she is the only one free in the holiday.

Everybody has an idea for Thanks Giving, but one by one, they join Monica , Phoebe and Ross at Monica's:

Rachel wanted to visit her family in Vail, but loses her flight; Joey takes pictures for the free clinic, but since the pictures ends up being for venereal disease, his family avoids him, thinking he has V.D; and Chandler just don't celebrate Thanks Giving, since it was the holiday his parents decided to divorce. ( But in the episode, he decides to change that, celebrating with all his friends in the end of the episode)

Ps: So funny to see Ross talking to Carol's big belly!

The One Where Underdog Gets Away... while Ross tries to sing for his son...

-----Season One. Episode Nine.-----

The One Where Underdog Gets Away...while Ross tries to sing for his son...

An interesting plot where everybody gets his initial plans spoiled and they have to make do however they can.

While Ross is trying to sing to his son, jealous of his ex-wife´s new mate, while he is still in his mother´s belly, the gang is trying to prepare a Thanksgiving reunion with exception of Rachel who is going to take a plane. With exception of Chandler, all of them have big expectations for the day; Monica prepares three different kinds of potatoes according to the group´s requests, Joey just got happy he appears in health ads all over the town but he repents afterwards and before everything starts, they get up to the top of the building to see a giant balloon of "Underdog" that happens to be magically levitating over the city...a show no one could resist...or at least no one from this happily slightly childish group of FRIENDS!

To have gone to the roof to see the giant Underdog´s balloon will change everything for the gang...for better or worse; let´s hope it´s for better !!!!!

The One Where Underdog Gets Away

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 9 June 2011]

A great thanksgiving episode. Everyone is free on Thanksgiving and Monica makes her first dinner for her Friends. This goes a bot complicated since they all want the kind of potatoes their mom made and Monica tries her best to make everyone happy. It gets even worse when they get locked out of the apartment and the dinner gets burned The story of Ross talking to Carol's stomach because Susan does it is very funny as well. The rivalry between him and Susan is actually very cute. And it also bring some sweet family moments when the baby kicks And Joey's story with him getting the VD in the commercial is pretty funny as well.

The One With Their First Thanksgiving...

[taylorkingston · 10/10 · 7 June 2015]

I love this episode. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes from this season and the entire series. As well as one of my favorite Thanksgiving and themed episodes.

In this episode, it's Thanksgiving and everyone has plans. Monica and Ross were meant to spend the holiday with their parents, but they decided to go on vacation, so Monica decides to do Thanksgiving at her apartment. Which disappoints Ross. Rachel was meant to go skiing in Vail and Joey was meant to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But Joey did a health ad which makes his family think he has a V.D. But when the Underdog balloon in the parade gets loose, they want to see, which leads them to get locked out of the apartment and Rachel misses her flight. Everyone gets mad saying how this was no one's first choice, which makes Monica furious, as you can understand. I mean, she's going to the trouble of doing everything the way everyone likes it and they are so ungrateful. Especially Ross.

Best part of the episode: When everyone's fighting out in the hall.

Worst part of the episode: Ross's ungrateful attitude.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.

The One With A Beautiful Thanksgiving

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 6 February 2018]

This episode is again amazing, this one talks about Thanksgiving and how everyone's primarily plans for the holiday fail to happen and they all end up having a great time together. This episode like all other episodes have a dozen of funny moments and the one with Joey's posters is undoubtedly the best.

THE BEST SCENE.

[shafihapatel · 8/10 · 9 July 2021]

THANKSGIVING: Rachel is not able to buy ticket to be with her family, Monica has preapred everyone's favourite type of potatos and things gone awry everybody locked out of appartment and just arguing with each other monica got so angry and said nobody thinks what I want nobody..

Roar

Hilarious episode. Or at least the laugh track would make you think so

Not A Great Episode

[slightlymad22 · 6/10 · 19 November 2014]

Plot In A Paragraph: When everyone's plans fall through Monica (Courtney Cox) hosts a Thanksgiving dinner, but things go awry when everyone gets locked out of the girls apartment.

We meet the owner of Central Perk, a guy named Terry (no surname). We also get a new actress playing Carol, Ross's ex-wife (Jane Sibbett)

Not a great episode, but it had it's moments, Joey's "disease" was funny, and a great excuse to have a Police song to be used, a bit of Sting and Co is never a bad thing.

I thin a lot of effort must have went in to making this look real, as Courtney Cox looked very cold in the scene in the hallway after they have been on the roof
