The Pot is empty. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It is apparant in the "THelma moves out" episode.

But also it appears everytime somebody is cooking on that stove there is nothing in the pot.

You can see about 3/4 of the way down on that thing and nothing. No spots. Nothing on the spoon. Nada.

THe pot is always empty. If you watched today's episode or have it on DVD. Take a look where Willona is cooking. That pot is clearly empty. And they are clearly not adding anything to the pot.

In the episode, J.J. Gets a Patron, there is clearly oatmeal in the pot. I guess it just depends on the episode.

On one episode i can't remember which one, I'll have to look at my DVD's. But Florida was frying chicken and the oil in the pan was clearly hot because the chicken actually started to fry. Now I know there was another episode when Willona was cooking chicken stew and there was something in the pot because Bookman came over and took a chicken wing out the pot and there were some red liquid on the spoon.

Have u all ever noticed that oatmeal and it's consistency. I know for television, the food may not actually be food, and/or it may be made differently to withstand the hot lights and the long shoot. The consistency of that oatmeal was soooo damn thick!!!! YUCK!!!! And it seemed they ate it right out of the pot. I don't know what brand that is supposed to be or how other people eat it, but, I usually add hot milk and sugar to make it creamy. The way the Evans' supposedly ate it made it disgusting.

I agree, it was disgusting looking. It looked more like oatmeal someone barfed up

instead of something that just came from the cooking pot...

Hmmmmm, got me there!!!! Remember that roast that cost $12 and the whole family got sick, except JJ?

I know for a fact that Florida cooked different meals; but it seemed that majority of the time, the main course was chicken, fired chicken, chicken backs, etc, etc. then for breakfast is was ALWAYS instant oatmeal..I am surprised that the Evans family did not complain of being constipated

That's kinda like a really thick piece of bacon, but has way way more fat on it then meat. It's mostly used for seasoning, for things like red beans and greens.

Ireneparalegal · 09-13-2005, 09:12 PM

oh yeah, that's right. I had put greens on a previous post. are turnip greens the same thing?
