no big deal?

That's because TV was not invented yet LOL The Evans had to sell their TV in order to get some money. It's a big difference between not having a TV because you had to sell it and not having one because it was yet to be invented

Again, Florida was talking out of her arse. How can you miss something you never had.... or something that didn't exist yet? She didn't even know what a TV was, so of course she didn't know what she was missing. Sometimes that woman was really dumb.

I remember when I was a kid and our TV broke. My dad, who didn't grow up with TV, said it felt like someone had died.

No, we stacked the small TV that worked on top of the big TV that didn't work.

My mother said the same thing but about air conditioning! As a kid we didn't have central air conditioning but some rooms had the little window air conditioners . Mom would be like , we don't need to run them all the time, only when it is really hot! HELLO, it is ALWAYS hot in July and August, and she would say we were spoiled and how they had NO air conditioners in her day and they didn't even have fans and they just dealt with the heat!

And yeah with the TV, when we got a color TV ( that was a big deal in the mid 60's , getting a first color TV) , she was like . We had no TV when I was a kid, now we even have a color TV ,look at all the stuff you kids have now. Like making us feel guilty about how rough it was back in the day!

I think that Florida was supposed to be in her 40's. I would think that when Florida was a little girl there was TV, her family probably couldn't afford it.

If Florida was in her 40's in the 70's, that means that she was a kid during the 1930's and there was NO TV

If Florida was born in the 30's Then there was TV when she was a little girl. By the time she was 9 or 10 there was TV in the US, there was TV in the 40's.

Florida was over 40 in 1975 which means she was a child in the late 1920s and 1930's which means she did not have a TV

Florida was an adult by the 1940's

We never knew Florida's age, and since she and Willona was suppose to be around the same age, I put her as to being in her early 40's. Since J.J was 18 in 74, I say that Florida was near 20 or 20 when got married. 18 from 74 is 1954 the year JJ was born, minus 20 is 1934. So in the 40's Florida was still a little girl.
