Was Florida making fun of James? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

craftman · 02-27-2008, 09:29 PM

In "JJ's New Career Part 1", Florida didn't have enough money to pay the bills, and they said, "What would James do if he was here right now?" Florida said, "Oh, that's simple.......DAMM!!!!!", as she knocked the bills off the table.

It kinda seemed like they were making fun of James' character..... even though that's exactly how he acted.

Not at all. I think Florida was flustered abt the financial situation and she resorted doing something she remembers her man doing.

Me and my sister do that a lot abt our late father, we will say things like, "What would dad do?" or "What would dad say?" and then we do or say the thing he would have done in that same predicament.

Florida also wore some pants that seemed a little tight on her. That she obviously got from James.

James pats Florida on the butt
Florida: Hey, you wouldn't do that to Henry Kissinger!
James: Henry ain't got what you got

The funny thing was I don't recall James ever acting like that over BILLS-lol Unless it was OFF SCREEN

Prime Example would be when James was paying Bills in the beginning of the ep-"Dinner Party" and never once got irritated.

I think the WRITERS were making fun of the James character

Ireneparalegal · 05-11-2008, 02:03 PM

James did get upset over having bills and he did say the word, "DAMN" when he was mad. He may not have knocked bills over, but still, bills pissed him off. I don't blame him.

There were many opportunities for the writers to have the characters mention James, and they goofed when they didn't.

State the ep when James was mad about paying bills because I don't remember. I only remember him getting mad over being LAID OFF and the JOB MARKET

He was upset abt J.J.'s $300 dental bill.

That's because it wasn't a typical bill, those bills that Florida slammed on the Floor was bills you have to pay every month-lol No need to get upset about those bills

I know but I'm saying james never got upset about REGULAR BILLS only the ones that didn't come every month

Florida's Operation
J.J's dental bill

So basically he was pnly upset about MEDICAL BILLS which made Florida's imitation of him inaccurate

Ireneparalegal · 05-11-2008, 02:32 PM

James seemed to get mad abt bills when he got laid off or when there wasn't enough money to cover the REGULAR bills in general.

I just don't remember, I just remember most of his frustration dealing with not being able to find the right job or getting laid off
