"Four years in the lives of four home economics students at Iowa State University."

This swell little educational video was once the subject of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. I believe it is actually on one of the MST3K Shorts DVDs.

  • i really wish home economics majors were still like this. now they're called "Family and Consumer Science" and a lot of the fun was sucked out to make it less offensive to feminists. not that there's anything wrong with feminists, but now how am i going to learn about the physics of a mixer?

  • "Meanwhile, all the lesbians at her high school went off and became doctors and lawyers, so that when Beth's husband beat her, she could be healed without being asked what she had done to 'provoke' him, and then could sue the bastard for divorce."

  • This movie is 60 years old.

  • Even though I had home ec when I was in school back in the 70's, I chose not to be a wife and a mother. I was raised in a family of eight kids. Six brothers, one sister, and myself. Four of my brothers are mentally handicapped. (Unfortunately, one of them passed away back in July of 2000.) I don't have the time, money, or even the patience to devote to raising a child. My religious beliefs have a lot to do with it as well.

    But I still had to learn how to cook.

  • 14:17 Look, look, look at my crotch

  • @kehya My mom couldn't believe that all I learned in home economics was literally how to bake cookies. She felt they should teach us sewing, child care , etc. even if it was boys and girls. It's no wonder so few people my age know how to sew or even cook decent food!

  • Did any other Big 8 school produce any home economics shorts?

  • "Today, I'd like to tell you about several girls I know very well."  Tom Servo: "And why I'm being fired."

  • This was so much better when MST3K did it... Here... /watch?v=UoqtTrb3I0w&feature=r­elated you'll get so much more out of this version.

  • You know I don't think classes on how to plug in your toaster and the proper way to turn on the stove where what the girls had in mind when they went to college

  • Right...Chemisty and it's applications to cream of tomato soup. :( If a woman wants to be a home maker, by all means, but for goodness' sake.

  • LMAO!!! Major in Journalism so you could work as an elementary school librarian.
