Funny? The WB wants Funny?
The Curt Jester gives a link to an article about a proposed WB comedy about a homeschooling family. It sounds like the writers have heard of homeschooling, but haven’t really done it. If they want funny homeschooling, I could sell them some stories that would leave the audience cataplectic and incontinent. But they wouldn’t feed into any one’s preconceptions of homeschooling families.

This week on The Adventures of St. Benedict’s School.......Dad is persevering in the homeschooling while Mom is working as a temporary office worker at the family’s home parish. The atlases scattered about the house lead Mom to think that Dad is overdoing the interest in the war in Iraq. Mom gets really peeved when she comes home from work to find that a neighborhood urchin has broken the hand off of Tiny Tim, the 20 inch skeleton who was purchased as an educational item - NOT A TOY!
A meteor flies over the family home but no one notices.
The little dog poops in the living room. Only Mom notices.
Mom adds gluing Tiny TIm’s arm to her list of week-end activities. That and planning Shakespeare month, which will be short because the first week of said month will be spring break.
Spring break is declared because parents are too weak to fight onslaught of public school kids coming to visit. Mom prays that those kids are able to travel and leave the St. Benedict’s students in peace.
Housekeeping is below Mom’s usual mediocre standard. Mom threatens to steal MOM DOESN’T LIVE HERE sign from rectory kitchen.......
