Florida and James Evans and their three children live at 921 North Gilbert Avenue, apartment 17C, in a housing project in a poor, black neighborhood in inner-city Chicago. The project is unnamed on the show but is implicitly the infamous Cabrini–Green projects, shown in the opening and closing credits.[1][2] Florida and James have three children: James Jr., also known as “J.J.”; Thelma; and Michael, called “the militant midget” by his father due to his passionate activism. When the series begins, J.J. is seventeen years old, Thelma is sixteen, and Michael is eleven. Their exuberant neighbor and Florida’s best friend is Willona Woods, a recent divorcée who works at a boutique. Their building superintendent is Nathan Bookman (seasons 2–6), who James, Willona and later J.J. refer to as “Buffalo Butt”, or, even more derisively, “Booger”.

The characters originated on the sitcom Maude as Florida and Henry Evans, with Florida employed as Maude Findlay‘s housekeeper in Tuckahoe, New York, and Henry employed as a New York City firefighter. When producers decided to feature the Florida character in her own show, they changed the characters’ history to fit a new series that was well into development rather than start from scratch to create a consistent starring vehicle. Henry’s name became James, he worked various odd jobs, there was no mention of Maude but it was mentioned that Florida was a maid once before in the episode ‘The Checkup’, and the couple lived in Chicago.
