    Julius tries to impress his succesful younger brother (Wayne Bray) with the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, but things don't go smoothly. First of all, this episode does a 24 parody on us. It displays a countdown timer, splits the screen and makes Julius assign everyone jobs like he's in the military. But before this can happen, he wakes everyone up at 5am to start preparing for the Thanksgiving meal. He even buys name brand foods to the other's dismay. Somehow everyone invites themselves over and even Doc arrives with Mac and Cheese when Chris burns his, due to the whole family falling asleep. This episode had many great gags and narrations and I hope this show continues to maintain its high standards.moreless
