Big City Greens
Work, a house, and a grandmother who still gives orders. Keep it for the middle years.
The Greens did not become city people. The city grew over the farm, and they stayed. Cricket is chaos with a good aim. Tilly is odd and loyal. Bill works. Gramma Alice is not cute about discipline. The jokes are loud. The structure under them is a family that still has a crop and a table.
Better than most of the cartoon row because the adults are not fools and the land is not a backdrop. When an episode is only Cricket wrecking something for the laugh, you can leave. When the harvest or the sibling has to be repaired, stay.
