00:30Here in the United States, we are fortunate to have many traditional holidays that are uniquely American, but none of them are quite as special as Thanksgiving. Family and friends from all over the country join together to give thanks and share in a joyful feast. And watch TV.
00:48One of the favorite parts of that feast is cranberry sauce. Here we see the cranberries at the processing plant, right after being picked. And here, just before being shipped to your local store. Excuse me, sir. Is there any special technique in canning cranberries?
01:05Oh, you mean cranberries. How else do you think we can cram so many of those little fellers into these itty-bitty cans?
01:18And the best part is, they work for bee nuts.
01:27And of course, no Thanksgiving is complete without a turkey. Speaking of turkeys, look at what we have here.
01:34Our hidden camera has found one of the few lucky turkeys who have managed to avoid Thanksgiving so far.
01:40Let's try to ask him how he's managed it. Excuse me, Mr. Turkey.
01:44Martha, you've done it again. I don't know when I've tasted a more tender turkey.
02:05Oh, it was just some odds and ends I threw together.
02:08Gosh, I don't know if I can eat another bite.
02:31I'll fix your bromo for you, dear. I think I left it in the kitchen.
02:36Uh-oh.
02:38Here's your bromo, Harold.
02:47Why, thank you, my dear.
02:49Gosh, Mom, that was the best Thanksgiving dinner ever.
02:55Now, sissy, you know better than to talk with your mouth full.
03:01Harold?
03:04Gee, I'm stuffed. Say, I've got an idea.
03:08Let's all take a walk together and work off this excess baggage.
03:12Oh, I don't know, Dad.
03:14Gee, Dad, I mean, I don't know if Star Dags is coming in a couple minutes.
03:18Just go and get your coats.
03:23Food!
03:25Food!
03:26If you kids are good, maybe we can stop by the Dairy King for dessert.
03:34Oh, you've got a deal, Dad.
03:36A wise guy, huh?
03:44Hey, who you callin' wise?
03:47Oh, you!
03:49You lunch hotel refugee!
03:52Oh, yeah?
03:53Yeah!
03:54Hey, hey, pal.
04:08You're really startin' to bug me.
04:11I've got a good mind to...
04:13to...
04:14So, just waiting for us to leave, huh?
04:35So you could steal yourself some turkey.
04:37I'm warning you, you no-good flea factory.
04:42If so much as a pea is missing when we get back,
04:45you'll be an outside alley cat forever.
04:48All right, then.
05:02Just don't forget what I said.
05:04Or else...
05:07Oh, dear.
05:08Don't forget to wear a hat.
05:10I'm tellin' yous, guys.
05:19Every Thanksgiving, it's the same thing.
05:22There I was, mindin' me own business,
05:26when who should I bump into
05:28but one of them garbage-pickin' roaches?
05:33And you know what he does to me?
05:36No, what?
05:36He cocks me on the head
05:38and steals me share of the Thanksgiving vittles.
05:41I don't know about yous, guys,
05:47but I'm fed up with this kind of treatment every year.
05:51I say, let's give him what you want.
05:53There's only room for one pack of vermin in this dump,
05:57and that's us!
05:59Yeah, yeah!
06:06Fellow roaches,
06:15it will be a whole year
06:17before we see another Thanksgiving dinner.
06:20And the only thing between us and Starfaction
06:24are those thieving mice.
06:26Yeah.
06:28They mean to separate us from the turkeys.
06:31the potatoes,
06:34the candied yams.
06:40Comrade insects,
06:43how much longer will we allow our life's blood
06:46to be snatched away
06:48and devoured
06:49by those undersized rats?
06:52He didn't say anything about the stuffing.
06:55The pink giants have gone out for a walk.
07:01Our only chance is now.
07:05Are you with me?
07:10Yeah!
07:11Boss! Boss! The cat's in the living room watching the tube!
07:31Thanks, Brownie me boy. This is just the opportunity we've been waiting for.
07:36Cheesy and Knuckles, you take some of the boys and cover the assault on the turkey.
07:43While we're doing that, someone's going to make sure that the TV set is playing good and loud so the cat don't hear nothing.
07:52Now, all we need is someone stupid, er, brave enough to go out there and take care of the cat.
08:02Oh, no! Not me! I ain't going out there, no siree! And there's nothing you can do to make me!
08:14No! Oh, Marsha, when you look at me, I...
08:21Hey, did you hear something?
08:23Oh, John, what could it be?
08:26It sounded like a melon flung against the door.
08:29No, it was more like a tomato thrown against the wall.
08:34Oh, Marsha, you silly featherhead. It was definitely a melon sound.
08:39John, my sweet dingleberry, I know my fruit and that was a tomato.
08:47I know my fruit and that's the cat.
09:07Uh... Rodents at 11 o'clock!
09:12Hose them down!
09:15This looks like a job for the heavy artillery.
09:20Goop that guy!
09:45We'll return to Invasion of the Weaselmen after this message from our sponsor.
10:15We'll return to the next episode.
10:37Oh, that was refreshing.
11:07Excuse me, dear, I'll take care of the leftovers.
11:37What?
11:38What?
11:39What happened?
11:40Who could've?
11:41You!
11:42Why, you.
11:43I told you what would happen to you, you...
11:46You...
11:47Try living in the cold and finding your own food.
11:54Some Americans prefer to provide Thanksgiving dinner in the traditional way of our forefathers.
12:01Take this intrepid fellow.
12:08Well, it certainly looks like he bagged Thanksgiving dinner.
12:13Nice shot, sir.
12:14Uh, what did you get?
12:15A turkey?
12:16A pheasant?
12:17A duck?
12:48Oh, rabbit.
12:49Are you making Thanksgiving dinner for your family?
12:51Why, yes, I am.
12:54And let me tell you, every single year it gets harder.
13:00See?
13:01Well, it looks like our hidden cameras have found more lucky turkeys who have managed
13:13to avoid Thanksgiving.
13:14Please don't run away.
13:16We'd just like to ask you turkeys a question.
13:19Turkeys?
13:20What turkeys?
13:21Uh, we're mooses.
13:22Uh, he means meses.

13:47Sam!
13:48Emily!
13:49Supper time!
13:50Sam!
13:51Emily!
13:52Supper time!
13:53The Great Depression was terrible.
13:54Almost everyone lost their jobs.
13:55And most families became poor.
13:56It was a time without television.
13:59Without video games, there were no designer sneakers.
14:01Well, don't just stand there.
14:02Come on.
14:03But somehow, family struggled to keep together.
14:04Despite tough times.

14:20Despite tough times.
14:27I'm sorry, kids.
14:42What with this great depression going on.
14:45I still haven't found a job.
14:48Don't worry, Mom.
14:49You will.
14:50What's a poor family to do?
14:54I was really hoping to have some sort of work by now.
14:59So I could make you a real Thanksgiving feast tomorrow.
15:03Where's your dinner, Mom?
15:05I'm not very hungry.
15:08Mom's ready to give up her own dinner.
15:11So Sam and Emily can eat.
15:14Isn't there anything to do?
15:16There's a whole other can of beans on the counter.
15:20You could have that.
15:21Oh, no.
15:23That's all we have for dinner tomorrow.
15:27Tomorrow?
15:29But Thanksgiving's tomorrow.
15:32Don't worry, Mom.
15:33Things will get better.
15:35Sure they will.
15:36We love you, Mom.
15:37I love you, too.
15:38Sweet dreams.
15:39Poor Sam and Emily.
15:40And Mom, too.
15:41It doesn't look like they'll be having Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
15:42But they can always dream about it.
15:43Can't they?
15:44You bet they can.
15:45Can't they?
15:46You bet they can.
15:47Eat.
15:48You are a man.
15:49Yeah, that's silly.
15:50You know what?
15:51Home!
15:52Dear Dad, you are a child.
15:53Yeah.
15:54I'm not so jealous.
15:55Very lovely, Dad.
15:57I am so jealous.
15:58See you because it is.
16:00It's so nice to me.
16:01Come and see you.
16:02It's so nice.
16:03I want to go find another wonderful.
16:05And I know they are, honey.
16:06I know I'm a person who's in the house.
16:07But, hey, I know the house.
16:08What's that beautiful thing?
16:09It's all about my little food.
16:10What do I have?
16:12What's that?
16:23Sounds like fun. Come on.
16:29Whoa, look. Sam.
16:32Whoa. We're getting smaller.
16:34Oh, my gosh.
16:36Holy moly.

22:06I had the best dream!
22:13So did I!
22:15It was...
22:16It was...
22:17What's that great smell?
22:21Do you think?
22:27Wow!
22:31Thanksgiving dinner!
22:36I don't know where it all came from, but we should all be thankful.
22:48Even if it does have a bit too much pepper...
22:53Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-choo!
22:54Unfortunately, not everyone can be home for Thanksgiving, but no matter where they are, Americans usually manage to have a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, even in outer space.
23:06Pardon me, sir, just exactly how do you manage to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner here in the cramped quarters and weightlessness of the shuttle?
23:19Simple.
23:20Dehydrated food.
23:21Just squirt a little water into this pouch.
23:22And instantly, I have turkey with all the trimmings.
23:34And instantly, I have turkey with all the trimmings.
23:39That's amazing!
23:40Uh, just out of curiosity, how does that stuff taste?
23:45Darned if I know, I've never been able to catch it!
23:49One of the pleasures of Thanksgiving is seeing our dear sweet grandparents.
23:59Uh, er, excuse me, going upstairs for a post-pigout nap?
24:04Well, no!
24:05We're going to watch some TV!
24:08Oh, a heartwarming old movie!
24:11Heck no!
24:12We're going to watch some bone-crunching football!
24:15Football!
24:16Yeah!
24:17Ho!
24:18Boreal Museum!
24:22After tracking the elusive turkey for many miles, we now may be close to answering that age-old question.
24:28What exactly do turkeys eat for Thanksgiving?
24:31Yes, yes, this is the moment we've been waiting for.
24:34We are about to make scientific history.
24:37Excuse me, please.
24:38Ever since the Pilgrims first started Thanksgiving with its traditional turkey dinner, man has wondered.
24:44What do turkeys eat for Thanksgiving?
24:46Would you be kind enough to show us?
24:48Sure, why not?
24:52You were expecting burgers and fries, maybe?
24:55You've got your indications to sponsor us, but we're starting to send our friends out and see!
24:58To be honest with you!
24:59Thank you, Sir.
25:00We're going to check out the sign!
25:02I'll wait for you.
25:04Yes, sir.
25:05I'll wait for you so soon.
25:06Bye!
25:07Bye!
25:08Bye!
25:09Bye!
25:10Bye!
25:11Bye!
25:12Bye!
25:13Bye!
25:15Bye!
25:16Bye!
25:18Bye!
25:19Bye!
25:20Bye!
