We loved Grandma, but when his smelly corpse comes down to eat and stay with us...
22 November 2018
Then we have to draw the line. This episode is black comedy that's smelly and entertaining. The doctor who pronounced Grandpa dead comes by to examine him again and verify that he has no heartbeat and no breath so he's dead. Doc says he's deader than a Thanksgiving turkey. He even shows the living corpse his own death certificate. Still, Grandpa who looks ghastly in his mortician's makeup refuses to admit he's dead. He continues to stink, rot and come down to eat with his daughter and grandson.

Grandpa has decayed even more when the preacher comes by to tell him that he's not making a "social" call, but to tell him that it's time to go. However, he failed to convince Grandpa with his preaching that he takes a drink from the moonshine jug. He tells mom and son that he's got other parishioners to visit. But Mom doesn't know what to do so asks him what to do. He says all that's left is prayer and takes the moonshine jug with him. The flies are gathering around Grandpa, so his grandson asks him if he wants a flyswatter. Mom still doesn't know what to do even though she prays. However, the son has a plan to find out how to get Grandpa to be convinced that he should go. The ending is awesome.
