    When food goes down the wrong way, to your stomach!

    "Florida's Protest" opens with the Evans men serenading the roast being prepared by Florida, Willona practically inviting herself to dinner. By morning, everyone but JJ feel the effects of the rotten rump, offering Florida the chance to finally picket the market where she bought it. James has to bail out both his wife and Willona, ready to confront Mr. Gage (Lester Wilson) the manager: "I just wanna talk to the dude, then I'm gonna squeeze his Charmin!" Gage is as shifty as the owner he works for, blaming his employer for bringing in the police. James isn't buying his peacekeeping attitude, claiming that he works 24 hours a day and can't remember the last time he enjoyed a home cooked meal: "yeah, well I can't forget mine!" Florida comes up with the perfect solution, serving up the very roast that caused all the trouble, until Mr. Gage is forced to eat more than just crow!

      This is the last time J.J. says his catchphrase, "Dyn-O-Mite!"
    • Goofs
      Florida is shown putting the roast beef into the oven and only just approximately three minutes later instead of the 20 minute appropriate time of cooking a roast beef, she takes it out and is serving it to everyone. No wonder everyone had 'food poisoning.
