You want an answer--- ok here is the honest answer

IT'S NOT REAL!
It is only a sitcom, not real life
and as such it is not meant to be overanalyzed like we are talking about the Watergate Break in here--- its only MAKE BELIEVE

does everything on a sitcom make 100% sense? no of course not
because the writers and actors all realize that its just silly fantasy for 30 minutes a week

Why couldnt het get a job as a fireman? Maybe he was a lousy fireman, maybe he had a criminal record, maybe there were no job openings for firemen, maybe it was a racial thing and the fire chief hated black people, maybe james was allergic to smoke, maybe florida thought it was too risky and dangerous, maybe they didnt pay enough..... etc, etc etc

i dont know but to be honest , i really dont think it matters much to most people, they realize its not real and they just try to enjoy the show

Again, the characters can be tweaked to fit a certain setting.

This is beyond weird, it's a full blown obsession

Honestly, It's not a wisecrack. It's a legitimate question.

Did you write your thesis on the Jeffersons?

Actually, I do mind. You are a troublemaker. There is a reason you were banned for 3 months.
