Oh god, please don’t tell me this was Florida’s idea of a “treat” - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ROAST?!! Really, Florida? A dinner you eat just about every other average week? I can see why James was always stressed and depressed. No, Florida. You’re supposed to get a certain treat that shows you’ve made an improvement and have some extra money, not some damn cheap $1 roast. What about new clothes, or some other breakfast option for a change, or two separate beds for J.J. and Michael or at least a bunk bed for them, or better yet, a good comb? I’m surprised she didn’t say oatmeal.

The sad thing is, she didn't spend $1, she spent$12(Which is like $50 in 2021) on a BAD ROAST. The Roast wasn't even GOOD! It made five people sick!

She would’ve gone down as the worst mother in TV history if she would’ve said oatmeal.

She considered a treat because they didnt have meat that often

Yes…or how about:

Oatmeal - Monday-Wednesday
Pancakes, Bacon, and Eggs - Thursday-Friday
Cereal - Saturday
French Toast, Bacon, and Eggs - Sunday

That probably would’ve been a bit expensive but it would’ve been better than constant hard, lumpy, dry, burnt oatmeal every morning for breakfast. James was a very stressed and depressed man…and I can see why.

James was too proud and embarrassed and had too much pride sometimes. He should’ve just accepted the food stamps and shut up.

I know. Food Stamps would have helped out The Evans Family a lot..

And it was nothing to be embarrased about since everyone in there for the same reason

Yes, I think James’s problem was he didn’t believe in himself and thought he was too much of a failure and was too proud and had too much pride.
