8 Simple Rules…


"The First Thanksgiving"
While Cate plans to raise the family spirits with a special Thanksgiving dinner, Rory takes it upon himself to be the man of the house by looking after Bridget and Kerry when he learns that they are planning to attend a party with their boyfriends on the holiday. Meanwhile, Laura's (Suzanne Pleshette) visit to the Hennessy household ignites sparks between her and Jim (James Garner).


8:30PM ET/7:30 C
I'm with Her


"Meet the Parent"
Patrick is excited to have his hard-to-please mother, Rosalyn (Susan Sullivan, Dharma & Greg), meet his famous girlfriend during the Thanksgiving holiday. But when Rosalyn shocks Alex by telling her to break it off with her son, Alex decides to win her over by preparing Thanksgiving dinner herself — which could prove to be a daunting task since she doesn't know how to cook. Betty White makes a special cameo appearance.


9:00PM ET/8:00 C
According to Jim


"Empty Gesture"
Cheryl feels very much taken for granted as she prepares Thanksgiving dinner this year, especially when she gets stranded on the roof retrieving a tablecloth Jim had fashioned into a Halloween ghost — and no one notices her absence until she unhooks the satellite. To make amends, Jim tells her that he, Dana and Andy will prepare the holiday feast. He assumes the mere gesture will be enough, and so doesn't bother to actually make the dinner. Unfortunately, neither does Cheryl.

9:30PM ET/8:30 C

"Claude's Alternative Thanksgiving"
Owen's two moms come to town and join the gang at Claude's first Thanksgiving dinner in New York. Owen is forced to "come out" to his shocked moms, revealing that he is, in fact, straight, not gay. Meanwhile Kipp and Lydia are invited to Will's exclusive Thanksgiving brunch.
