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. ❤❤❤❤❤
To not give such an iconic show like this, a series finale is definitely the ultimate hater move. Ok Marla I see you, I give her big props for having a 9-5 and doing this show.
How much times are we going to hear “not a proper ending” or “abrupt cancellation” when it comes to certain shows while other shows get a heartwarming farewell special and a distinct series finale?! We see right through these networks. 🧐
@Detroit_Dawg they're implying that long-running black TV series historically and *mostly* always don't receive proper endings in comparison to long running mostly white TV series... i.e. Family Matters, Girlfriends, Jeffersons, Moesha etc
Besides the Jeffersons Sherman Hemsley, Isabel Sanford reprised their roles on two episodes of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air the couples therapy episode and they also appeared on the series finale of the show along with Marla Gibbs
And the Parker's don't forget she played Niki Parker's mother or grandmother and she was funny on that show as well that was the last time I've saw her alive😢
I loved The Jeffersons and it was my favorite show as a child and it was sad how they didn't give them the proper send-off after over 10 seasons!!! The Jeffersons was a ground breaking show!!
This is my show! Even though I’m a 90’s kid, I binge-watched this show like crazy! Sad that they didn’t get a proper series finale. R.I.P. to Zara Cully, Roxie Roker, Isabel Sanford, Franklin Cover, Mike Evans(First Lionel), Paul Benedict, Sherman Hemsley, and Ned Wertimer(Ralph the Doorman). Ned passed away on January 2nd,2013 at the age of 89 from complications from a bad fall he had.
I loved this show so much. My parents and I never missed it. Isabel Sanford and Zara Culley, who played Mother Jefferson, got along very well. Isabel said that when they would be getting ready to film a scene, Zara would say, “Oh, dear, now I have to go be mean to you again.” 😊
The people in charge of the show’s payroll found out, and doubled what she was making there for her to quit that job. But yes,it was very smart for her to keep her backup job.
Eric Monte who co-created Good Times along with Mike Evans created George and Louise Jefferson. Evans who played Lionel Jefferson approached Monte to come up with a script that feature his character and from there, George and Louise were born.
Sherman Hemsley also appeared on Amen, Dinosaurs, Martin, Fresh Prince, The Wayans Bros, All That, etc. And he also sang Ain't that a kick in the head as well
@@jaylene.turner6524 And so did Sherman Hemsley. Oddly Marla Gibbs character Marie interacted with Hemsley as if she were talking to Mr. Jefferson in the 227 episode LOL!🤗🤔🙋🕵
Real and true props go to the actual creator of The Jeffersons, Eric Monte. The same brilliant, innovative mastermind behind Good Times, What's Happening!?, the Cosby Show, just to name several.
the jeffersons deserved so much better, this show was so genuinely funny and im so thankful to my mom for raising me on shows like this, good times, sanford and son and gomer pyle… such good shit
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.
The guy Stan from Martin tried to come out and say Sherman was gay , that upset me. They said he was a really nice guy, and that's all that should matters. R.i.p
Belinda Tolbert, Jenny Jefferson isn’t the only one of the main cast still alive. Lynn Moody who played Jenny on All In The Family is still with us. The son Alan, played by Jay Hammer, played on the CBS soap Guilding Light. He married the producer Pamela Long Hammer. He’s still alive. And Marla Gibbs is still alive was well. It was a wonderful show to watch growing up in the 70’s.
@@cindeed4422 she literally mentioned that all three individuals you “chose to talk about” are still living. Before you call out a creator for allegedly not including actors on a list of the still living, at least listen and be sure you’re accurate first🙄🤦🏾♀️
The Jeffersons:that was the show to watch in the 70s and 80s…..would watch the Jeffersons whenever I’d visit my grandparents….. I recall watching Tv guide truth behind the sitcom scandals:the Jeffersons when it showed that cbs cancelled the Jeffersons without giving it a season finale on season 11, I was so upset…..smh…..CBS did the Jeffersons real dirty and it wasn’t right…..still watch the Jeffersons on Tubi to this day…..
The Jeffersons definitely deserved a proper ending it ended on a cliffhanger just like Family Matters, Smart Guy, That's so Raven, One on One, Girlfriends, Moesha, Everybody Hates Chris, and many other shows that also ended on a cliffhanger as well
@@taylor8812 It's just assumed that he did as Chris Rock partially based the series on his life. Also, the scene was shot as an homage to The Sopranos; so, it was supposed to end with a cliffhanger.
I appreciate that you do this detailed research for your videos. I always wondered about certain shows or artists, and when i came across your channel, you've helped answer a lot of my questions. Loving your content!
Fun Fact: Isabel Sanford was 21 years older than Sherman. Yes, she was old enough to be his mother. She was born in 1917 and he was born in 1938. Their chemistry was so great that, people couldn't tell the age differences.
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 changed the time slots 15 times because they wanted the show to fail and lose ratings! I couldn’t keep up with the multiple time & day changes, very frustrating! 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 loved the this show I grew up watching it, but it is completely sad that the series was cancelled all of sudden and it was the most watched show ever ,shuffling time periods is nothing new networks did that a lot but what I heard why The Jeffersons got canceled is because some network executive wife was upset about that she couldn’t watch her so called program and because of that The Jeffersons got the boot without even telling cast members and no series finally made.
In 1975, I was 6, years old. There was no interracial couple for me. It was just husband and wife. It is disgusting, how adult teach children how to be racist. I just didn't know there was a difference. I'm so happy, I grew up when I did.
Eric Monte has had some strokes as well eric monte created 🔨 louise and george Jefferson chacters however he was never paid or acknowledged mike evans also worked with the jeffersons its sad that they are never giving there proper credits smh
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 Jefferson's All in the Family Good Times #70's forever!!!
She was talking about the main cast that was on “The Jeffersons”, and not the ones who came before. Lynne was also on “All In The Family”, not “The Jeffersons”.
One of the best shows on television and they deserved better treatment. I've been watching The Jefferson's recently on Prime and I didn't realize that Isabelle Sanford' was the top billed star, she was 59 years old in season 1. Inspiring cast of characters, every single one of them. Fantastic video @Juicy Pop

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
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?
@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?
Grew up on the reruns. Loved it. Sang that dam theme song when we moved out of the trailer park and into a piece of sh!t apartment literally on the east side ha ha. Man i miss government cheese. Went great on mac and cheese
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
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. ❤❤❤❤❤

You don't move up to an apartment. You move up to a house. Kinda messed up.
At the time this was one expensive apartment...you have to realize it is the eastside in NYC....
@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.

Both Gary Coleman and Jaleel White appeared on The Jeffersons. 😎🙏👍🕵
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.
Shortly after The Jeffersons ended, Marla Gibs starred in her own series 227.
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…
Sherman was proudly gay.
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?
WHAT
❤😂🎉😅
I love these episodes 🙋🏾💞
They were so very hilarious
Fun Fact: Norman Lear. Still alive
...at a HUNDRED YEARS OLD! " 🤯 "
Grew up on the reruns. Loved it. Sang that dam theme song when we moved out of the trailer park and into a piece of sh!t apartment literally on the east side ha ha. Man i miss government cheese. Went great on mac and cheese
6:40😮😮 didnt know that❤
Leavitt and Moye went on to write Married with children. If you know what to look for, you see similar storytelling and joke patterns
TIL this day the Jeffersons is my favorite sitcom and the best out ever in my opinion
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
