Roseanne: Season 8, Episode 8: The Last Thursday in November

Last Thursday in November.
Turkey for turkey day!
Roseanne and Jackie bitching about the gendered roles for Thanksgiving. Maybe true, but not funny. Or integrated into the plot.
DJ has a thanksgiving pageant for school. They show the pilgrims slaughtering the Indians with guns a la Pulp Fiction. Apparently his history teacher is a Native American.
The parents find it tres controversial.
And now a dramatic retelling of the first Thanksgiving. As acted by the cast. Also including historical gender discrimination. And the wise Indians tell Roseanne the way things really are.
Ok done with silly dream sequence. All the Indians come over to the Conners for Thanksgiving to have dinner and everyone does the friendship dance. Wtf is this?
