refused to keep the money James found in the street from Brogen;s Market and didn;t want to accept $5000 for telling a small lie in a TV commercial. Sounds like more inconsistent writing-lol

Man, I peeped that too! Florida didn't want to earn an honest $5,000, but she played the lottery! A lot of religious people don't play the lottery! Not only that, she was willing to let J.J. get bailed out of jail by a loanshark! Loansharks are everything but legal! Like you said, inconsistent writing!

I forgot all about the loan shark incident. But I guess there were different writers by time season 4 came along because I refused to believe the same writers from season 1 and 2 would write into the script that she played the lottery

gotta agree with you here. she was a bible thumper in the first 2 seasons but especially in the first season. how many times in those 2 seasons did she say:

"this is a christian house."
"that is blasphemous."

she won't let James go the pool hall to hustle up some rent money but she can gamble on her own with the lottery.

complete character contradiction. i noticed the same thing and came to the conclusion that this is what happens when your show's creator (who is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the characters they create) and the writers have left or changed. you lose the small details that define each of the people you are writing about.

shame, shame.
