Thanksgiving is finally here, and after feasting on one of the year's largest meals, nothing seems more appropriate than not wanting to move from the couch-making the slew of Thanksgiving TV specials a perfect viewing option.

Whether trying to recoup from heavy meals and eating on your own, or looking for a great way to spend time with family and friends outside of eating and Black Friday shopping, here are some of the best TV specials to tune in to this Thanksgiving holiday.
