In the Alaska job episode, why did the kids seem to have no problem - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 09-05-2006, 10:09 PM

with moving away when they were mentioning areas that James' job was at...then when the bomb was dropped abt Alaska, the kids started saying they didn't want to move away from their friends, etc. They were all ecstatic abt moving away, James having a job,$$$$, etc. but it was different when Alaska was mentioned. No matter where they would have moved to, temporarily or permanently, they would have had to move away from their friends.

I know, they were naming all those locations and it wasn't until he said Alaska that everyone was like HUH??????????-lol

Good question, probably because people think of Alaska as being this far away place.

My Mom said Florida should have let James go to Alaska and could have sent her $250 a Week for a Year-lol

When Michael said Seattle, Washington, the kids still had this big cheeser on their faces...hell, they didn't think abt their damn friends then did they????? And then, when they all came home with ideas abt how to make money at various jobs "to keep daddy home"...that was bullsh*t...we already knew they "didn't want to move away from their friends"...

Well, let me see. One can wear snow shoes in Alaska, considering the snow and ice. Florida was telling James if he went to Alaska it would be over her dead body...hence, DEAD SNOW SHOES...which really doesn't make sense, because snow shoes are objects...Hell, I dunno Solomon, blame the writers!

Brian Damage · 09-06-2006, 08:13 PM

C'mon, if you were given a choice to move to any of the 50 states, Alask would've probably been your 50th choice. lol

Ireneparalegal · 09-06-2006, 08:15 PM

It's certainly a beautiful, clean and great place to live now.

However, the family wasn't going to move there. Only James...but for the time that the kids thought they were moving, they only thought of their friends, not their father and what a great job this would mean to him, and them. I am not arguing abt the Alaska job thing again, but the kids were excited when they thought they were moving...I can see if they said, "Alaska??...My God, it's so barren and lonely out there." things like that, but NOOOOOOOO, it was "I don't want to leave my friends."

Brian Damage · 09-06-2006, 08:19 PM

Just because you move, doesn't mean you move far away. Maybe they thought that it would be near by.

Ireneparalegal · 09-06-2006, 08:20 PM

But Michael said SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...that is far from Chicago...and there the kids were with those big ol' smiles when Michael said that...so, they had no problem with Washington, which is a hop, skip and a jump to Alaska, or as I should say, a helluva lot closer to Washington than Illinois. LOL

It wasn't just about missing their friends, Michael was worried about where they was gonna live, "Alaska's too new to have ghettos."

JJ was worried that he would have to make out with eskimo chicks, and "Rubbing noses don't exactly turn me on!"

And Flo didn't think she could just "Move to such a God forsaken place."

Yeah, J.J. was always thinking abt chicks...Michael, why he wanted to move to another ghetto????? I will never know...

What was strange also is that Florida made such a big fuss about James moving to Alaska but then she turns around and moves to Arizona with Carl. Well maybe at that point it was a different situation since the kids were older.
