About: The Tonsillitis Episode   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

This is a one-episode medical condition that seems to be prevalent in kids' shows. As such, it is played less for drama, and falls more into the category of Very Special Episode. The basic formula for such an episode is thus: Sub-Trope of Sick Episode. Something of a Forgotten Trope because since the late 1990s tonsillectomies are done much less frequently than they were in the past, and their effectiveness is debated. Examples

abstract
  • This is a one-episode medical condition that seems to be prevalent in kids' shows. As such, it is played less for drama, and falls more into the category of Very Special Episode. The basic formula for such an episode is thus: 1. * The character (usually either a kid or someone sufficiently childlike) has a throat problem that turns out to be tonsillitis. 2. * The character angsts about having to have surgery, but is reassured by his/her loved ones and promised -- and this is important -- "All the Ice Cream You Can Eat." 3. * The operation goes off without a hitch. Whether loved ones actually come through with the ice cream is optional. Sub-Trope of Sick Episode. Something of a Forgotten Trope because since the late 1990s tonsillectomies are done much less frequently than they were in the past, and their effectiveness is debated. Examples
