I have some.
1. Why plan out six seasons right off the bat? Wasn't it Jon who said you should always assume you only have one season?
2. I've noticed there is a fair amount of GA content that doesn't focus on the main family at all. Why is that? Is he attempting to channel another show that succeeded at doing such?

I can answer both of these questions with one answer: Writing compulsion. Johnny has a lot of ideas with a lot of different characters and not enough seasons to get all of them out

Ha! Don't I know it. I remember him saying he might have hypergraphia, and based on what I've seen, I think he's right.

Pretty much. There's just... a ton of stories I want to tell in this world and with these characters, and I have mentioned that I have hypergraphia. Hypergraphia doesn't want a specific thing, just that you write a lot, but it helps that there's a series/world that I can just... dive deeply into. Even if I can't get it animated, there are other mediums I can tackle to get these stories told. It's a passion project, and I've got a lot of passion.

How does the Scale of authority work; Are the Youngest the ones in Charge; Does a Younger child have more authority than a not-so-young child? 2. Can a Jaded Kid exist in this world; or a Child with the mindset of an Adult? 3. How Do People keep themselves Safe in a world without Hospitals? 4. What about Car Collisions; Do the Cars have an Anti-Crash Feature to prevent Automobile Collisions? 5. Do Manchildren exist in this world(Adults who act like Children), And what about Kid-Adults, aka Kids who act more like adults, & think like Adults? 6. Do Children Just Exist in this world; or are they written into existance? 7. who is the Youngest Character on the show; and What is the YOUNGEST age a Child can be within the world of Growing Around; Since Infants don't exist here, and there are no Hospitals in GA? 8. How would the Society as run by Kids react to a Child who HATES Messes, Loves things nice & clean; and Loves things to be organized and in Order; aka Someone with OCD?

How would the Society as run by Kids react to a Child who HATES Messes, Loves things nice & clean; and Loves things to be organized and in Order; aka Someone with OCD? 1. Kids rule once they turn three years old and they officially becomes grown-ups when they turn 20. Younger children generally dont have more authority than older children, but they are treated with a bit more lenience, as seen in Sally and Delilah, because theyre still learning about the world around them. Think of it as how older adults treat 18-year-olds in our world 2. We actually have quite a few jaded children in this series, Max and Ryker being two of them. However they tend to be much older, more towards 10-11 years old. We certainly do have mature kids in the show, like Molly who has a very mature work ethic even though shes 8, but that personality type tends to be reserved for older kids 3. We actually try to steer away from the subject of hospitals as often as possible to avoid questions like this, thus we dont put characters in situations where hospitals are needed. They get hurt yes, but aside from very few exceptions its mostly out of slapstick and isnt taken that seriously 4. Car collisions do happen in GA, but they are treated as comical for the same reasons listed above. No one gets hurt and its used more as a gag than as a serious plot point 5. Yes, man-children and kidults do exist in GA. One major manchild example we have is Cecilia, and ive given plenty of examples of kidults as examples for question 2 6. We had an episode about how babies are made, Special Delivery, but to break it down as simply as I possibly can: The adults have babies, those babies are then under their care until they turn three years old and gain citizenship. If you would like to know more about the biology behind such an event, id recommend you pick up a middle school health class textbook 7. The youngest character I can remember off the top of my head is Avery, the school gym teacher. And yes infants do exist in Growing Around, theyre just not showcased that often because they have very little character to even use for gags, much less be considered main characters 8. We actually have a character like that, Niall. Hes a germaphobe and while the other kids think thats weird, they still respect him for the most part

Don't know how true/accurate that idea is
