DVD Rentals for Thanksgiving Cranks
Hate your houseguests? The Daily Beast recommends a slew of TV shows on DVD—laugh at Extras, plot coups with Rome, look for moles on 24—to divert everyone’s attention.
Thanksgiving Day is the culinary equivalent of a wedding. It’s the big day—there’s bound to be some crying, and no one’s as stressed as the person organizing it. You’ve got an entire family or three descending on your home and there’s no way you’re going to be the referee in the latest battle royale between your argumentative relatives.
Looking for a way to calm everyone down and avoid a potential homicidal meltdown in the process? Why not plonk yourself and your guests in front of the warm glow of the television set this holiday weekend? Even better, we’ve got some television show DVD suggestions to keep things humming along smoothly this Thanksgiving, organized by day so that you can keep your sanity and have your turkey, too.
