Back to School: Difference between revisions

* On ''[[Married... with Children]]'', Peg discovers that she never graduated from high school because she was one credit short (she failed Home Economics), so she enrolls in Kelly's home ec. class and the two have to prepare Jell-O and crowned rack of lamb for their final exam. Peg's project gets eaten by Al, and, in true Bundy fashion, Peg steals Kelly's Jell-O dish and turns it in as her own, thus allowing her to finally get her diploma, and forcing Kelly to go to summer school.

** Peg talks Kelly into thinking she's going to have a great summer, allowing Peg to walk away. Kelly finally catches on ... many seconds later.

* This was the premise of the Rhea Perlman [[Sitcom]] ''[[Series/Pearl|Pearl]]''. Pearl was a mature woman from modest up-bringings. When she realized she had missed out on a lot, she decided to go back to college, in spite of her grown son's protests. She made a bunch of new, but weird, friends and was constantly in conflict with her snob philosophy professor (played by [[Malcolm McDowell]]).

* The entire premise of ''[[Community]]'' is that the main character is forced to go back to college and earn his bachelor's after the government learned his was a fake. It is also revealed that {{spoiler|Senior Chang}} did the same thing and will be joining the group as a student the next semester.
