FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
stevenackerman69 When I was a young boy a Sunday night ritual for me would be watching several CBS shows. Jeffersons was one of them, usually the last one of the night before turning in for school the next day. Ironically, today is the first day of another school year!!!! I didn't get all the jokes when I was younger but enjoyed watching the characters and cared for them. I also liked the fact that they had the characters evolve over the years. George became less racist and was friendlier towards Tom. Louise at first didn't like being rich but once she did volunteer work, that changed. I have the feeling that she didn't want to be like an Uncle Tom and forget her past. Doing work at the help center was what helped her adjust to her new life. I also was amazed that in the 80's, they redecorated the apartment with richer furniture. What other sitcom has ever done that? Can't think of one. One other thing I liked was that George sometimes did succeed. If he had always failed in his plans like Wile E. Coyote, it would get tiring. It was good to see him come out on top once in a while. It was terrible that CBS didn't give this show a proper sendoff. I think they set it up for the ratings to go down by moving the show to Tuesday night in 1985 so the audience that watched it on Sunday may not have been able to watch it Tuesday. Therefore, ratings would drop and the network could use it as an excuse to give it the axe. I think they could've done at least one more season and I even had some story ideas for them for the new season, which I discussed on the message boards. It is sad that several of the actors have passed on, but that happens to everyone sooner of later. This show will live forever.
rsks514 Bring it back!!!!! We need a good laugh and a great sitcom like this one to enjoy!! Hail The Jeffersons!! Bring back the sitcom on TV land or nick @night. Its was a great comedy just like threes company, Archie, All in the family, Homeymooners, Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, and The Bob Newhart Show, and now they play 10 Roseannes in a row on both channels which really stinks cause I don't even like Roseanne, so I don't even watch these channels after Good Times cause it isn't worth it at all. Dick Van Dyke show, What happened to all the great sitcom classics they USEDto play, GO Back to them and you'll probably gain another 10,0000.00 viewers!! Think about it!!
roboto1976 The Jeffersons may have been a spin-off of All In The Family, but it stands on it's own as one of the best sitcoms. The sad thing is that CBS canceled the show in it's tenth season, even while it was still tops in the ratings. I love the dynamic interaction between George and Florence. The hate/hate relationship between Louise and Mother Jefferson is also hilarious. It's amazing to think that an interracial married couple had never been portrayed on television before this show. The Jeffersons is a classic today and for future generations. A footnote...Ja'net DuBois sang "Movin' On Up", the theme song for this show. I never made the connection until today!
leighabc123 This show was so funny that it lasted 11 seasons. I watched this show from the time before I was born until I was in the 5th grade. The funniest episodes were, are, and always will be the episodes that had BOTH Mother Jefferson AND Florence the maid. This was also one of the first sitcoms that replaced a main character with another actor and the first actor came back. Two Lionels! Confusing to all people who are not devout Jefferson fans. Damon Evans married Jenny and Mike Evans was there when Jenny had the baby. RIP Mike Evans AKA the 1st and 3rd Lionel. This show also had the two actors who were the longest reoccurring guest stars in t.v. history. Charlie the Bartender and Ralph the Doorman. They played on a sitcom for 11 consecutive years without ever being a regular character. George would do something zany every episode. And Louise would have a smart remark every episode. Helen would always argue with George, but Tom would listen to him. There were so many great guest stars in this show. Sammy Davis Jr., Sister Sledge, Andre Crouch, Billy Dee Williams, Gladys Knight. Look for Ernest Thomas and Jaleel White before they became stars in episodes of this show. There are still some mysteries in this show. Whatever happened to Jenny's brother?
