Man V Food. Well, except for the episodes with the giant pizza and the milkshake challenge...
Spice And Wolf. Yes it's an anime so my suggestion probably doesn't belong here, but it just puts me in a Thanksgiving mood.
My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic makes me crave apples whenever an episode includes apples in it. Just like Hoity Toity said!

Wallace And Gromit with its porn-ish depiction of cheese and crackers,and even oatmeal and jam.
I always want to eat after watching one those shorts. Who knew claymation could do that.

Eating Contest
, from Hey Arnold, is my candidate for this thread. I always feel hungry when watching that, it's become a tradition to have light dinner while that's playing. Something about the furious, fast-paced eating awakens the Big Eater in me.
What about you guys?
