    Sad The Jeffersons didn't even get a series finale. It was so good back in the '70s and early '80s. It's DEFINITELY iconic! Rest in peace to the talents who left behind a MEMORABLE series. God bless Marla Gibbs for being a pioneer in the industry. ❤❤❤❤❤

    As part of the 2019 Tribute to Normal Lear (who was still alive at the time), they redid one episode from several of his shows using contemporary actors, and "The Jeffersons" was one they did, casting Wanda Sykes as Weezy, Jamie Foxx as George, Will Ferrell as Tom, and Kerry Washington as Helen. It was amazing. One notable thing is the original episode had a distinct word in it... and it was agreed by everyone doing the one-off to keep that word unaltered. I won't forget it. (And it was really great to see Marla Gibbs in a cameo... the less I say, the better because it's worth finding and watching.)
    And I'm of an age that wasn't born yet when this show premiered, but was very much alive and watching when it went away.

    What saved it I think was that it stayed on Sunday nights from 1979-1985. It did change time slots once during then, but not days. And because the syndicated stuff was on during the weekdays, you could watch the older episodes then and then on the night they weren't around, watch a current one, which helped too.

They didn’t do this to whyte shows that had good ratings! This has been done to other black successful shows too! Norman Lear was disgusting , especially they he fired John Amos on Goid Times! James Evans was the glue that kept that family together! It wasn’t the same after he left, Jimmy Walker never could fill his shoes as the “man of the house “ when they killed off John Amos’ character.

    I still watch this show! It is one of the best things about being born in the 70's! Besides loving the depiction of a Black family prospering, I always loved the concept of Tom & Helen! I appreciated that they did not give Helen a 'rescue' story, having been picked and saved by the White man, but made them equal always emphasizing that Helen herself came from a successful Black family and was well - educated with her own work. The fact that they both fought the opposition of both of their families just equalized them more. And in adding this concept to the story, they were tackling additional social issues, killing 2 birds with 1 stone. As a Black woman and just a human wanting fairness and peace for everyone, I always had a tremendous appreciation and respect for Norman Lear's works and efforts.

    The Jeffersons got done wrong after 11 seasons & it should have gotten a proper season finale. Can we please get stories on the following shows:
    Julia
    That’s My Mama
    Sanford & Son
    Good Times
    What’s Happening
    Different Strokes
    Benson
    The Flip Wilson Show
    The Richard Pryor Show

    The Jeffersons was a classic show that did not and does not get the credit it deserves.

    Interesting that they didn't think after 11 seasons the show might be coming to an end. Guess they felt they would do at least another season and then call it quits or they don't think about that stuff.

    I'm looking 50 dead in the eye, I was raised on the Jefferson's. You know how little kids glom to what they see and like? Well, I still do the Sherman Hemsley Shuffle today when I wish to physically punctuate a point, with flourish, dig?

    You don't move up to an apartment. You move up to a house. Kinda messed up.

    • @boneappletea3858
      @boneappletea3858 5 місяців тому

      @EdwardBrown-ou1sr and you have to realize that it's still not yours and that moving up is isn't about the money you spend. It's about the money you save and the assets you accumulate. Imagine the house or houses they could've owned not living in a crazy expensive apartment for years owned likely by some white folks at the time.

    Sherman Helmsley deserved an award for his portrayal of George 100% ! so did Marla Gibbs for her role. Lionel #2 was very miscast imo and I did not enjoy his portryal. fun fact: the actress who played Georges' wife was 20 years older than him irl

    I really get sick of myopic views of media. Good Times and The Jeffersons are both good depictions. We dont need either or and I wish folks would stop letting their respectability politics and aspirations have them picking the less common depictions.

    They should have gotten married in real life. Isabel‘s husband died in 1960 and Sherman never married . They seem to have played the interesting married couple on tv .you know ups and downs of life…

    Was there an episode of The Jeffersons were Lionel went crazy and had the baby by its collar hanging off of the balcony with Jenny behind him screaming begging and crying and they blurred it back to the present and Jenny was crying saying "... And he dropped him" or did I dream that?

    Norman Lear stole everything from Eric Monte. Y’all give Norman all this credit for stealing and then got Eric blackballed…….. just speaking facts and say everything if you wanna tell a story make sure you tell all the story I mean everything
