Big Deal

"Big Deal" is the first segment of the twentieth episode of Big City Greens.
==Synopsis==
Cricket persuades the family to go to a Thanksgiving sale at a big-box store for a deal on a new television. However, the store is crowded with rowdy shoppers who are persuaded by the sadistic store manager.
== Plot ==
The Greens are preparing for Thanksgiving by talking about what they are all thankful for. Cricket on the other hand is angry that the TV they own is old and has poor reception. As Tilly helps by redirecting the antennae, they catch a commercial for Price Busters. The eccentric manager Louis announces that they are having a Thanksgiving Day sale and that they have TVs at low prices. Cricket convinces the family to go to Price Busters under the belief that they will be in and out in no time. To their surprise, Price Busters in crawling with manic customers who are desperate to buy things at the store's insanely low prices. As the family prepares to leave, Cricket convinces them to stay by telling them the benefits of having a better, brighter and clearer TV. The Greens prepare themselves and head deeper into the store.
They arrive at the sports section where Louis announces to everyone discount prices. The mob ends up separating the Greens as Cricket calls for them to meet at the electronics. Gramma Alice ends up enjoying pummeling the other customers, Bill becomes distracted by a high quality fishing pole for $5.00, while Tilly uses her smarts to take out the other customers. Eventually Cricket finds the TV and calls his family, but a generic family arrives and they all fight over it. During the scuffle, Cricket is flung away and ends up in the security room where he sees the devastation in the store unfold including his family who have regressed into dangerous people fighting over a TV.
Louis reveals himself by stating that because he can never enjoy Thanksgiving himself due to being forced to work at Price Busters every year on that day, he likes to destroy everyone else's so they feel the same pain as his. He then unveils his "finale", a 180 inch, 40K, HD Vibra-color TV for just $1.00. Cricket is horrified at what Louis did to his family and ultimately decides not to get the TV before heading to fix things. Everyone proceeds to claw for the giant TV and Cricket runs out to stop them. He finds a giant mallet and tosses it at the TV, shattering the screen. Everyone is about to attack Cricket, but he makes a speech about being thankful for what you have rather than what you want. As everyone applauds Cricket's speech, another shopper enters to tell everyone about another sale and they all leave, except the Greens who congratulate Cricket on the speech and that he finally learned the true meaning of Thanksgiving. However, they can't go home to have their Thanksgiving dinner because they spent so much time in the store that the food could be spoiled by now, so Cricket decide to have Thanksgiving with the pre-packaged food that Price Busters has to offer. Out of sympathy, the Greens invite Louis to join them as they watch Football on the giant TV.
