Bojack’s grandfather is a misogynistic jackass and cares more about his business and image more than his own family. Therefore, I wonder why he never though of entrusting a successor to his business and legacy.
Bojack’s late uncle had died in WW2 and Joseph is obviously not gonna hand over his company to Beatrice. This leads to him having no male heir at all. The only male heir he has is Bojack so why he did not try to groom his grandson to be his successor? Or he just too egomaniacal to even think that his own grandson is not worth to be groomed because he has Butterscotch’s blood in him or simply he thinks he can entrust his legacy to his subordinate rather his own family, which means he has no intention to hand over his business to Crackerjack even if he managed to survive the war?
I think he would just hardly see Joseph, Beatrice probably didn’t want to hear from Joseph about her “not raising BoJack right”, which I mean she wasn’t but I don’t think Joseph would have been much better. All tho strict parents tend to treat their grandchildren better than their kids
No BoJack said he spent his summers at Joseph’s Michigan lake house. Butterscotch worked for Joseph. We can assume that they saw each other.
