if i understand correctly the original post, he is proposing to, for example, install a two pole, double throw switch between the meter and the breaker panel. feed one side from the grid, load to panel, and feed the other side with the 120 generator, tying the two legs together.
as long as you make sure all two-pole (240V) circuits in the whole house are turned OFF, i don't see why this shouldn't work to power any 120V load.
i'm assuming here that the house wiring is up to code, and that this 120V only genny is relatively small- small enough that full load of the gen still does not overload the house Neutral wiring.
So as long as you don't overload the N and make sure to only power 120V loads, don't see why it wouldn't work to set up your busses in parallel instead of series.
complying with code, that's a whole other can of worms.
