These were made for TV movies and that's the only reason they didn't crack the Top 10. Really a sub-category for these timeless classics.

Also a shoutout to Rocky IV as Rocky vs. Drago took place on Christmas Day.

Your Thanksgiving Day TV Schedule

It's perhaps the greatest day of the year.  Football, Food, Family.  Here is what you'll (I'll) be watching this Thursday.

9am-Noon: MACY'S DAY PARADE
Look for my favorites: Woody the Woodpecker and Spider-man.  Also Cam Neely and Mike Ritcher will be on a float promoting the next day's Bruins-Rangers game.

12-2pm: THE NATIONAL DOG SHOW
You can watch 30 mins uninterrupted of this bad boy before switching back and forth with what's next.  But who doesn't love a dog show?  Give me the Working Class every time.

12:30pm: Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
Big NFC North match up here, but an even bigger fantasy football game.  Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, Matt Stafford, Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, Jarrett Boytkin, and Matt Flynn?

4:30pm: Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys
Not the best game, but it's still football.  Maybe eat during some of this one.

8:30pm: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens
Two disappointing teams go at it with playoff chances really on the line.  The winner is guaranteed anything but the loser is probably done.

9:30: Lady Gaga & The Muppets Holiday Spectacular
I'm no Lady Gaga fan, not even close.  But as you know, I'm in on anything Muppets.  Pair them with Stalin and I'm watching.  Hopefully it's not too much Gaga and friends. 


HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM THE SPORTS BRIEF!
