Roseanne, "Brain-Dead Poets' Society"

Much to her discomfort, Darlene writes a poem for school and wins a prize. And to make things more embarrassing for the tough, sports-minded teenager, her teacher asks her to recite the poem in front of the entire school. When Dan and Roseanne get wind of this, they are overcome with pride. Unfortunately, Darlene doesn’t feel the same way and, in no uncertain terms, makes it very clear that she’s not going to the recital. Roseanne thinks she is being ridiculous, and forces Darlene to attend. Dan doesn’t agree, and he and Roseanne butt heads about how they should handle the situation.
