Rory and Lorelai try to attend four different Thanksgiving celebrations in a single day in a new episode of Gilmore Girls (WB, 7pm) titled ” A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving.” Yes, they’ll attempt to dine with Luke, Jackson & Sookie, Lane, and Rory’s grandparents (of course). Plus Dean and Jess will face each other at some point. Expect a cool episode that showcases the many reasons this is, IMHO, the best show on TV. Other series have done the “try to attend multiple Thanksgiving dinners” thing before, just as other shows have had love triangles; but this show somehow makes it all work in new and interesting ways. And it’s fun. If I could choose two words to describe Gilmore Girls, they’d be “smart” and “fun.”
Buffy and the gang interrogate Spike about what he’s been up to while under the influence of a certain evil entity on a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer (UPN, 7pm). This is another smart show that certainly has it’s fun moments and fun episodes. You remember how Joss and company promised this season would be lighter in tone than last season? I’m not sure I buy that. Seems like it’s been pretty dark thus far (and will only get darker). I’m intrigued, I hope this buildup pays off.
Red gets Kitty a dog. And Eric just may propose to Donna. On That ’70s Show (FOX, 7pm).

It’s Bonnie’s anniversary and she dreams she’s married to . . . Tom Hanks. On Life with Bonnie (ABC, 8pm; ABC Family at 8pm on November 30th and 2pm on December 1). Tom Hanks guest stars. This show has improved significantly since it debuted. Still not as cool as I’d like, but it’s fun.
It’s Noon (finally) on day/season 2 of 24 (FOX, 8pm). I’m still stuck back at the first hour and I’m debating whether to watch the show this season. It frustrated me too much last season.
