The episode titled “BOO!” aired on Oct. 31, 1989, and was the 7th episode of Season 2.
This was Roseanne’s first Halloween-themed episode and is regarded by many as the overall best of the eight episodes of its type.
The storyline revolved around Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) doing all she could to scare her husband, Dan (John Goodman), who is waiting to hear if an important business deal went through. Whether she was faking an electrocution or leading her husband to believe that his in-laws were coming for an extended three-week stay, Roseanne was totally hilarious in “BOO!”
