Create an Episode - A Game - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

knl9674 · 08-31-2004, 12:50 PM

there are so many true GT fans and character experts that i thought this would be something interesting to try on this board. With each "create an episode" thread, there will be a social issue/topic that the episode must address.

The way it works: as a board, we will create an episode. Each poster only gets one line of dialogue which should look like the following -

Thelma: Get of the way, JJ!

Feel free to provide any directions (physical or body) with your post OR set the scene as necessary-

JJ: Leave me alone.
-Crosses and picks up his paints and smiles.

The only rules are that you can not:
-Post back to back. Allow someone else to post before you repost to keep it interesting
-Create any new characters, but are free to use any and everyone that has appeared on the show

I think it will be interesting to see what kind of things we can come up with. So get your creative juices flowing and let's try to create an episode that would do the show some justice. We must also watch out for when a commercial can occur and whoever calls it, calls it. Remember that this is a 1/2 hour show.

TOPIC: Teen pregnancy

Let's go...................

Scene:
In the morning. Florida is in the kitchen picking up the breakfast dishes.

Florida: Thelma! You've been in there for over an hour. Now come on, you're going to be late.

BTW - you get more than a line. You can say as much as you want, but only as one character.

Thelma(shouting out from the bathroom):"You can't rush beauty,mama!"

knl9674 · 08-31-2004, 02:25 PM

-Florida chuckels and shakes her head at the comment as James emerges from the bedroom tucking in his shirt.

James: Morning, baby. (kisses Florida on the cheek). I'm going to have skip breakfast (goes over to pour himself a cup of coffee) today. Got a lead on a good job and I don't want to be late. (looks around)
Hey, where is everybody?

nerrad · 08-31-2004, 02:27 PM

JJ: Forget about her ma, what's for breakfast. Today I want pancakes, ham, bacon, sausage, salmon cakes, eggs, orange juice and home fries.

knl9674 · 08-31-2004, 02:38 PM

Florida: Sorry, JJ. None of that is on today's menu. But, the special for today is oatmeal.
-clumps a huge amount in his bowl
Now stop messing around and eat your breakfast so you can go to school. (snatches off his hat so he can say grace before eating)
-Thelma emerges from the bathroom looking a little flushed.
Thelma, are you alright?

nerrad · 08-31-2004, 02:43 PM

JJ: Don't worry about her ma. She always looks that way when she leaves her mirror.

Moonlight Lady · 08-31-2004, 03:10 PM

(Michael opens the door and runs into the apartment with a picket sign)

Michael: Sorry i'm late Ma, I was finishing my sign out in the hallway.

knl9674 · 08-31-2004, 03:18 PM

-Florida half looks at Michael and is focused on Thelma as she speaks.

Florida: That's ok, baby. Come in here and get some warm oatmeal before you go to school. James...she don't look too good.

-James crosses to take a closer look.

Moonlight Lady · 08-31-2004, 03:24 PM

Michael: Okay Mama. (walks over to the table, and sits down)
What's wrong Thelma? Are you sick again? (starts eating)

CCRYDER1968 · 08-31-2004, 03:35 PM

Thelma:"I think I got a little stomach flu."A look of anger rushes over James' face...

nerrad · 08-31-2004, 03:39 PM

JJ: I told you we shoud've went to McDonalds instead of letting her cook last night Dad. I had a big mac attack.

knl9674 · 08-31-2004, 03:40 PM

-Both James and Florida look worried at one another.

Thelma: Ma, dad...I'm okay. I think I may have a touch of the stomach flu or something. Don't worry.

-Sits down and starts helping herself to the oatmeal.

-Florida continues to look at her worriedly. James glances at his watch.

CCRYDER1968 · 08-31-2004, 03:44 PM

James:"I gotta run now,but this "stomach flu" better not have nothing to do with that scrawny boy Leroy you been hangin out with.."

nerrad · 08-31-2004, 03:50 PM

JJ: "YEAH THIS BETTER NOT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH "(James give JJ that look). I think I'll have some Kool-Aid.
