Thanksgiving is that time of the year right before Christmas when families get together to share a feast as everyone narrates what they are thankful for. Foods like mashed potatoes, turkey, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce feature on the special occasion. The history of tradition with Christian roots can be traced back to 1623 after Governor William Bradford declared that Pilgrims and their wives and little ones should render thanksgiving to the Almighty for all his blessings. Fans of Grey Anatomy can enjoy a couple of scenes that commemorate the day, and The Top Five Grey’s Anatomy Thanksgiving Episodes include:

A glimpse into the deleted Twitter account of a Trump Energy Department appointee reveals racist, sexist and anti-Semitic remarks about former president Barack Obama, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, TV news host Megyn Kelly and Japanese-Americans during World War II.
William C. Bradford, who was recently appointed by the Trump administration to run the Energy Department’s Office of Indian Energy, called Obama a “Kenyan creampuff,” Zuckerberg a “self-hating jew,” and Kelly “MegOBgyn,” according to The Washington Post, which first uncovered the tweets and posted screenshots of them in an article published Thursday.

Post-“Mad Men,” Vincent Kartheiser doesn’t seem to have an issue with typecasting. After all, there are very few similarities between ’60s ad executive Pete Campbell and his character William Bradford on Nat Geo’s 17th-century-set colonial miniseries “Saints & Strangers,” which comes to a conclusion tonight. Kartheiser told TheWrap that every role he’s taken since “Mad Men” has felt like the opposite of Campbell, because that character was so detailed and anchored to a specified place and time. And playing Bradford, the longtime governor of Plymouth Colony, proved a bigger challenge in preparation. “This isn’t World War II,...

After Batman Begins, it seems that every major character has to get a gritty origin story. Now it seems that even holidays are getting gritty origin story reboots, as National Geographic is airing a more realistic retelling of the origins of Thanksgiving this weekend called Saints and Strangers. (Don't expect any paper hand turkeys.) It stars Vincent Kartheiser, best known for his portrayal of Mad Men's most punchable weasel Pete Campbell. Kartheiser has traded in the slicked-back hair and blue suits for a big, burly beard and long tendrils of hair; he sort of resembles a young version of Vincent Price's insidious Witchfinder General. Speaking with GQ, Kartheiser described his character, William Bradford, as "a Man who has a turn..." There's a turn in his story where there really is no right choice. The right choice eludes him, and this is a man who believes the right choice...

The two-night event Saints & Strangers premieres Sunday, Nov. 22, and Monday, Nov. 23, at 9/8Ct on National Geographic Channel. Vincent Kartheiser is doing his best to be patient. Sporting coarse Pilgrim garb, a full beard and shoulder-length tresses (no Mad Men, this!) as Plymouth Colony leader William Bradford on Ngc’s Saints & Strangers, Kartheiser finds the speech he is about to deliver — one arguably launching American free market commerce — interrupted by a loud buzzing sound emanating from somewhere on the Stellenbosch, South Africa, wine farm on which the project’s main sets are nestled. The buzzing stops. Kartheiser … Continue reading →
