The Last Thursday in November

The Conner family shows up to watch D.J. perform in his school's Thanksgiving pageant and are bored -- until the pilgrims pull out weapons and gun down the Indians "Pulp Fiction" style. Delighted, Roseanne and Darlene try to enlighten the shocked parents by telling them the real story is not what you read on the Butterball wrapper. And Charlie, D.J.'s Native American teacher, adds that it's time people heard the story from the Native American point of view. Later in a fantasy sequence, Roseanne envisions an alternative Thanksgiving story with all of her family playing the roles.
