But no matter what never get in a argument between a husband and wife

[@yasminvaughn2975]

James always wanted a better life for him and his family.

[@TF-gf3fs]

And Florida didn't.

@@TF-gf3fsyou do still have Women like that Today. But in Real Life back then $500.00 weekly any Wife would have told their Husband to Take that Job so we Can Move out of The Projects.

@@TF-gf3fs actually she did.she just didn't want James to be gone for an entire year.

[@TF-gf3fs]

@@1talldaddy 1 year in alaska vs a lifetime in the the ghetto for the family. Florida was complacent.

[@grahambrown1980]

I love this show and the theme song!

[@melaniemills4505]

Aw, why can't I ever find love like Florida and James had? 😔

[@Activethinker6378]

Because it was not real life just a show.

[@melaniemills4505]

@Booklovr1276 ...I know...🙂

[@Kristinapedia]

[@grahambrown1980]

$500.00 a week in those days (mid 70's) would be around $2881.02 in today's money (inflation calculator). James would need to keep some for his living expenses but probably could've sent back home around $1500 at least each week. They could move out of the ghetto and into a nice house. But the sacrifice of his being gone a full year was too great. What about after the year was over, what would he do then? Why can't they move there to be with him? I know... Alaska but it probably wouldn't be too bad. I hear it's beautiful up there but you'd have to like cold weather.

[@themagicians1122]

Because NORMAN LEAR KEPT THEM BROKE.. THIS SHOW WAS JUST A STEREO TYPE . MOST OF US DLIVE LIKE THIS. AND WHEN OFFERED A JOB WE SACRIFICE AND MOVE FORWARD

[@tom11zz884]

He would have had the experience after that year to demand other high paying gigs. Possibly another pipeline job.
That was the point of all this. He had an opportunity to get big time experience.

[@dmears238]

James was a Man!

[@PatriciaAyers-hx9fh]

James was very strict with the children

[@grahambrown1980]

He only wanted what’s best for his family.🙂

[@tom11zz884]

Florida should have at least came to some kind of compromise with James. It was always her way or the highway.
James could have made great money to get them out of the projects.
