Home-Ec was the 16th episode of Season 3 of Roseanne, also the 63rd overall series episode. Written by Mark Lloyd Rappaport, the episode was directed by John Whitesell. It originally aired on ABC-TV on February 5, 1991.

Plot summary[]

Darlene is embarrassed when Roseanne gives Darlene's home economics class a supermarket lesson in real-life family budgeting. Meanwhile DJ has to deal with a bully.

Trivia[]

  • During the Buy 'n Bag field trip, Merrill (one of the Home Economics students) selects a brand name cereal, but Roseanne opposes. She tells the class that she only buys generic, but Merrill puts the brand name cereal into the cart anyway instead of putting it back on the shelf. Later, in the grocery store check-out line, the generic cereal appears on the conveyor belt and the brand name cereal is no longer in the cart.
  • Roseanne and the Home Economics students wait in the check-out line at the Buy 'n Bag. When the customer in front of them pays for his items, the cashier drops the money on the counter instead of putting it in the cash register.
  • Leonardo Dicaprio appears as an extra in the scene in Darlene's home ec classroom.
