Friends - season 6, episode 9: "The One Where Ross Got High"

Friends is by far a favorite series of many, and some of the best episodes are the numerous Thanksgiving themed ones. "The Ones Where Ross Got High" ranks as the best of these episodes for many reasons. Everyone is present, including Jack and Judy Geller, who always add to the comedy of any episodes they are featured in. This one finds Chandler doing his awkward best to win their approval as they have yet to learn he is dating their daughter Monica. Ross and Joey make an appearance with the primary objective of leaving early to attend a party with Joey's hot roommate, Janine, and her friends. But the best part of this episode is Rachel's attempt at an English trifle recipe that goes terribly wrong. Oh, and Phoebe has naughty dreams about Jack and Jacques Cousteau.
