Fun Friday: Thanksgiving Programming

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

For 2009, 2010, and 2011, we brought you very comprehensive schedules of holiday programming. Each year we had various issues, and the amount of work involved in compiling all of that information is rather stressful. So, this year we're just going to give you highlights, with bolded favorites. (more of an "our picks," if you will.) With Thanksgiving coming up quickly, we better get started! Below you'll find a list of holiday events on television for the next week.
