Should the Evans have still been eating OATMEAL in season 6? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

That was just ridiculous to still be eating oatmeal for breakfast 6 seasons later which was probably one of the reasons viewers lost interest during that time. It was time to show that the Evans have improves somewhat and were able to eat something a little different besides oatmeal

My memory is bad. Were they still eating oatmeal by then? If so, I wonder what Keith felt like.

they had pancakes and other stuff in season 6...besides, it didn't matter, with Thelma doing the cooking, it all ended up crap anyways.

Brieannas21 · 06-15-2006, 11:00 PM

Oatmeal is filling so that's prob why they ate it all the time. Hard to feed a family of 5 on eggs,bacon and toast every morning

Ireneparalegal · 06-15-2006, 11:02 PM

They had pancakes in season 5 not 6. When Florida returned to the show, they went back to having oatmeal

And weren't anyone hardly working in the 6th season. So who do you think was buying most of the food? Flo, she was the one who had a steady job almost all the way through the 6th season.

Keith worked. Flo worked. Michael had part-time jobs; they paid low income rent; JJ i am sure was getting unemployment.

Keith didn't always have a Job I doubt that Michael little money went towards food and I don't remember JJ getting unemployment. I personally think Flo was the main bread winner in that family and she did all of the food shopping. I don't recall anyone coming back from the store with Flo other then Wilona. And if Keith, Michael or JJ wanted pancakes or Waffles then they should have gotten off their butts and bought it or cooked it.

So like in my house when I was growing up, You ate what mama bought or you don't eat at all
