Where To Watch
Gobble up 17 behind-the-scenes photos of classic TV shows celebrating Thanksgiving
Because it's not the holiday with Carol Brady and Mister Ed dressed as pilgrims.
Turkey Day is here once again, so we've stuffed this page full of television stars celebrating Thanksgiving. What better way to get in the mood than flipping through the past, seeing the likes of Joanie Cunningham, Carol Brady and Carol Burnett dressed as pilgrims?
Even the animals got into the act, with Lassie and Mister Ed posing for a holiday pic. The turkeys, of course, were less fortunate.
Stroll down memory lane as actors from classic TV shows give thanks.

Mister Ed
