Canoga Time is the eleventh episode of the first season of the popular American television show, Roseanne. The show depicts the daily life of the working-class Conner family. In this particular episode, the family is preparing for a game night.

The episode begins with Roseanne (played by Roseanne Barr) and Dan (played by John Goodman) discussing their plans for the night. They have invited their neighbors, Tom and Bonnie, over to play a game of Pictionary. Roseanne is eager to win and shows off her competitive side, claiming that her team will beat Dan's team in the game.

As they prepare for the game night, the rest of the Conner family is also busy. Becky (played by Lecy Goranson) is readjusting to school after being on vacation, and Darlene (played by Sara Gilbert) is feeling left out of the family's plans. Meanwhile, Jackie (played by Laurie Metcalf) is upset after her boyfriend leaves her for another woman.

As the game night progresses, tensions rise between Roseanne and Dan as they try to outdo each other. The game of Pictionary quickly becomes intense as both teams refuse to back down. Becky, who has been studying for a big test, is also feeling frustrated as she struggles to focus on her schoolwork.

While the Conners are focused on the game, Jackie arrives with her new boyfriend, Gary. They bring a different energy to the game night, and Gary's sense of humor helps to lighten the mood. Darlene also finally gets a chance to join in on the fun and shows off her drawing skills during the game.

The night takes a turn when a tornado warning interrupts their game. The family rushes to the basement to take cover, and tensions are high as they wait for the storm to pass. During this time, they begin to reflect on the importance of family and how grateful they are to have each other.

The episode ends with the family emerging from the basement unscathed and joking about their experience. Despite the tension and competition between Roseanne and Dan, they ultimately come together as a family in the face of danger.

Overall, Canoga Time is a lighthearted episode that highlights the importance of family and togetherness. The game of Pictionary serves as a vehicle for the family to bond and have fun, and the tornado warning reminds them of the importance of cherishing their loved ones. The show's ability to balance humor and heartfelt moments is what has made it a beloved classic among audiences.
