Anywhere
from 15 to 20 family members (possibly more) all live under the same roof. |
|
There is
only a 10-year age difference between most of those family members. |
|
The only
dessert allowed in the mansion is strawberries and whipped cream. |
|
Dad dates
his daughter-in-law or his former daughter-in-law - or Mom does. |
|
Everyone
in the family has a secret that, if exposed, will destroy the entire clan. |
|
Dad and
Junior are both planning their weddings on the same day, at the same time, in the same
place, to the same woman. |
|
Junior is
running around with his sister-in-law. |
|
Junior is
running around with his sister, though neither knows they are related - and maybe they
aren't... |
|
Mom cooks
and serves her children their favorite lobsters - Sally and Irving. |
|
Mom won't
speak to Dad, Dad won't speak to Mom - except through their lawyer, their maid, their
butler or their channeler. |
|
Dad is
seeing the nanny (and falling in love with her), who could be his former wife or just some
criminal getting ready to kidnap the kids - or, possibly, both...! |
|
Dad thinks
the nanny's soon-to-be-born child is his - and it could be, too, but he's still sterile. |
|
A first
sister drugs and then seduces a second sister's lover in order to cause the second sister
to drop the guy whom the first sister loves, even if he can't see the first sister for
beans. |
|
Sis sells
her baby brother to baby brokers. |
|
Mom and
Dad are still deeply in love with each other, but decide divorce is the only option open
to them anyway. |
|
Grandma
and Grandpa's main function is to babysit at any hour of the day or night, at a moment's
notice, for an unspecified period of time - ranging from hours to weeks or months. |
|
Sibling
rivalry is not merely a passing phase, but a way of life - for the entire lives of all
involved. |
|
Mom is
marrying her daughter's ex-brother-in-law, a guy 10 years younger than the daughter -
maybe even 20 years younger. |
|
Mom
lectures her teen-age daughter about safe sex, but then goes out and gets pregnant by her
lover, thereby ruining her happy marriage. |
|
One
brother shoves another brother off a high-rise because of an argument over which brother
gets to use the family jet tonight - and everyone is understanding. |
|
One twin
sister plots to have the other twin committed to a sanitarium, succeeds and then takes
over the psychiatric practice of the committed sister - and no one in the family notices. |
|
Mom and
Dad regularly dress up as hooker and pimp, and then go out to bust drug pushers. |
|
No one
eats anything but Chinese takeout. |
|
Everyone
in the family has a job, but they rarely go to it - not counting when they are attempting
hostile takeovers. |
|
The kids
handle their own problems, and parents never help them until the kids really have to have
the best lawyer in the country. |
|
The kids
love to play the Twilight Zone game - they go to their rooms and disappear for 20 years or
more. |
|
Dad's new
spouse is killing him softly - with insidious, undetectable poison. |
|
One
brother sues another sibling on behalf of a client with a questionable case. |
|
The only
animal allowed in the mansion is a snake. |
|
Mom has an
affair with her daughter's ex-husband, and neither knows who the other is. |
|
Most
family members have been incarcerated on murder charges, have been committed on an
insanity rap, or have aided in a jailbreak. |
|
Every man
in the family has had a past wife regression. |
|
No one
never needs to go to the restroom - except for powdering their noses. |
|
The women
of the family don't have their periods - only when they don't have it... |
|
They don't
need make-up in the morning, because it's already done the moment they open their eyes. |
|
The babies
of the family are sleeping 23 hours and 55 minutes a day and night. |
|
When
something goes wrong it GOES WRONG! - or maybe it was a bad dream or a vision... |
|
When
something good happens GOOD THINGS HAPPEN - or maybe it was a daydream or a vision... |
|
The family
members never do what you expect them to do - but later on they do it anyway - and change
their minds over and over again. |
