Growing Around Easter -

[Ho Mo for Women]

Enter has come out with a script for an Easter episode of Growing Around, the oh so creatively titled "Easter". In this episode, we get some insight as to the role of the elderly in the horrifying world of Growing Around, plus more of Sally being an insufferable brat and Gumdrops being stupid.

Who does Easter specials?
And, that's too long to read, but is the Elder's role the same as the guidelines?
I've started reading, and of course the grandmother would have a horse as well

@Someone: Rugrats did a Passover special. Does that count?

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Oh boy, here we go.

See yawl on the other side.

Kind of, but I feel like Enter was writting a christmas special, but "didn't want to do a cliche"

Also, why do they keep calling their Grandmother by name?
That's just weird, not reversed authority

We cut to Sally playing the video game with Robert.

I haven't read many scripts, but all I've read, they do this, and Enter complains about repetitive filler a lot in his reviews
This episodes destroys the entire premise of the show, and the grandmother is one of the most anoying characters in the cast,he is trying so hard to make her a "cool granny"(Self-Inserting because of his,maybe?),Enter, if you are reading this, kill her off, nobody will really miss her, and you could get one of the sappy moments you love so much

You know, he could always just make the granny character rap. Sure, it's a cliche, but it's an entertaining cliche.

It would be interesting
But after Enter trying to write a slow song and making it impossible of getting any rythm, I don't want to see him writting a rap

From the comments section:

Yeah, especially since a lot of this deals with past events and off-screen action. A lot of it will probably change during actual animation, but I don't know how much better I could convey it through text alone.

Didn't Enter complain about off-screen action in a review?

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Waaaaaaaaaaait. So I'm reading this, and not only was an old person able to exercise authority over Timmy, a child, but apparently Lisa and Frank make vidya gaems? Ambitions? Creative pursuits? What insanity is this!

Why, the mention that the game hasn't been released to the public; are we to take the understanding that two members of the elderly are running a commercial operation of some sort?

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

So what the hell are the elderly like in this world?

 

[Anchuent Dictata]

Have we not seen official art of an old person in a school class?

"Your real ambitions start when you are close to the grave!"
But yeah,Enter is destroying his own logic.

Well, what I got from the Guidelines was that adults go to school until they graduate. When they graduate, they're free to do what they want with what they've learned from being in school. Of course, kids are still supervising them. So my guess is, the elderly take up jobs under child supervision until they bite the dust. I dunno.

That does break the show's logic though.
When do people get in school?
And they graduate to die 20 years or so after,why?

The Guidelines also explain this, if I remember correctly. Kids, when they reach teenage years, have the option to go to preschool, which I'm assuming lasts from teenage years to adulthood (which I'm pretty sure starts at 1, or continue working until they transition to an adult, at age 18. So, I'm gonna say 13 maybe? After all, that's where the "-teen" part comes in.

Mm, I love of the smell of fresh, half-baked concepts in the evening!
Is it just me, or is his writing really stiff and awkward? It feels like he hasn't really sat down and tried to figure out how people would actually interact in this setting.
Agreed that the 'old people' thing is just weird in general... this is why you don't make a creative work around an idea of yours until it's actually fleshed out.
PS: Where's the moral...?

So if Robet and Linda are still at school in their thirties, this means school is at leas 20 years, or they were hold back a lot, because they seem to be in the equivalent of grade school.

Well, Linda being held back I can understand. I don't know about Robert. Unless he loves his wife that much he fails on purpose to stay with her.

I'm remember they both suck at school, even with the pilot saying otherwise
In another episodes, Robert is as bad as Linda.

Really? I thought Robert was implied to be doing better than Linda.

Spoiler alert: Enter can't keep his characterization consistent.
