no big deal?


That's because TV was not invented yet LOL The Evans had to sell their TV in order to get some money. It's a big difference between not having a TV because you had to sell it and not having one because it was yet to be invented


Stupid Florida evans moment

Again, Florida was talking out of her arse. How can you miss something you never had.... or something that didn't exist yet? She didn't even know what a TV was, so of course she didn't know what she was missing. Sometimes that woman was really dumb.

My mother said the same thing but about air conditioning! As a kid we didn't have central air conditioning but some rooms had the little window air conditioners . Mom would be like , we don't need to run them all the time, only when it is really hot! HELLO, it is ALWAYS hot in July and August, and she would say we were spoiled and how they had NO air conditioners in her day and they didn't even have fans and they just dealt with the heat!

And yeah with the TV, when we got a color TV ( that was a big deal in the mid 60's , getting a first color TV) , she was like . We had no TV when I was a kid, now we even have a color TV ,look at all the stuff you kids have now. Like making us feel guilty about how rough it was back in the day! :D

I think that Florida was supposed to be in her 40's. I would think that when Florida was a little girl there was TV, her family probably couldn't afford it.

If Florida was in her 40's in the 70's, that means that she was a kid during the 1930's and there was NO TV

If Florida was in her 40's in the 70's, that means that she was a kid during the 1930's and there was NO TV

If Florida was born in the 30's Then there was TV when she was a little girl. By the time she was 9 or 10 there was TV in the US, there was TV in the 40's.

Florida was over 40 in 1975 which means she was a child in the late 1920s and 1930's which means she did not have a TV


Florida was an adult by the 1940's

We never knew Florida's age, and since she and Willona was suppose to be around the same age, I put her as to being in her early 40's. Since J.J was 18 in 74, I say that Florida was near 20 or 20 when got married. 18 from 74 is 1954 the year JJ was born, minus 20 is 1934. So in the 40's Florida was still a little girl.

That is the reason why she told Michael that when she was a little girl her family did not have TV.

TV didn't become a medium in family homes into 1950's so like I said it was not a norm yet so it was easier for her to live without tv


Just like it was not the norm for me to have a computer with the internet in 2000 but in 2014 it's now mandatory lol

But when you were a little boy there were home computers, but everyone didn't have one in their homes because they weren't an mainstream thing and they were too expensive. So it's the same thing with Florida and the TV. In the mid 40's there were TV just not everyone had one. I don't think my grandma got a TV until the very late 50's

I never heard of anyone getting a television until the 1950s.

I just googled and found out that most people got TV between 1947- 1957. If Florida was born around 1930 or so, she would have been 17 in 1947 . And she was poor, so I'm thinking her family would have been one of the later statistics towards 1957. Most likely only the very rich had it in when it first came out in 1947. Florida would have been grown, out of the house and married by the time her folks got TV.

That does not change that fact that TV was out in the early 40's, I'm pretty sure that there were people who did have televisions in their homes. If it were only the rich, Flo sure didn't have one. If Florida was born in the early to mid 30's then she was a little girl when TV first came out and she did not have one. Florida probably got her first TV when she and James married.

And that does not change the fact that Florida did not know what she was missing. You said so yourself. She probably didn't get a TV until her and James were married. She never had a TV as a child. Michael did. Michael knew what he was missing. Florida should have understood the difference.

I'm pretty sure she knew the difference, In the episode she was just saying that when she was a child that she didn't have TV. Just like every parent does when they are explaining things to their kids. Just like I have told my girls that when I was a little girl I didn't have Computers and Tablets, my oldest actually asked me what did I do for fun LOL I told her that it's called playing outside.

You're not missing much, if you have a cell phone and a laptop then you have a tablet basically.
