View Full Version : favorite scenes from the show opening
jamesanthony 04-02-2004, 02:58 PM What scenes from the main titles do you enjoy watching? I like a lot of the scenes they had in the later years: Louise is like 15 months pregnant and comes out of the kitchen to serve George, Florence as aunt Jemima, George comes out of the kitchen that's overflowing with soap bubbles, Bentley throws George in the dumpster, Louise takes the doorknob off the door of her old apartment, Louise as Mae West and George as Charlie Chaplain, Louise and Helen in jail.

George and Helen dancing from the season 3 opening credits
donald snl 04-14-2004, 04:22 PM the part where mr. bentley runs into the jeffersons aprtment in his shorts also the part where george is dancing on the bed and wakes weezie up
jamesanthony 04-14-2004, 04:52 PM I like those scenes too. Almost all of the scenes were funny intentionally. One was funny by accident. There's a fairly trivial scene of Louise kissing George. She's wearing a low cut top and her cleavage is showing and she has on a HUGE wig. This wasn't meant to be a joke in the series, but some of Isabel Sanford's wigs on the show were enormous. Like what they wore in the 18th century.
Tyler77 05-23-2004, 08:42 PM I like the scene where Louise and George are sitting in the cab, and Louise is wiping a tear away from her eye (probably because she misses moving away from Queens), and George then holds her hand and says something like "Don't worry, it's going to be OK." I also like the scene where they literally jump out of the cab and into the open elevator!

And when they get out the cab, George has the-"I got money now" Strut as he heads toward the elevator-LOL
nerrad 05-27-2004, 03:06 PM When she smacked George with the pillow. And when he was pushing her while he was pimping inside the apartment. The funny part was how Weezie was walking. She was walking so innocent, while he was goin' to town wit dat walk.:cool:

ditto
Brian Damage 05-28-2004, 11:09 AM Doin the dance!
CDThe1 02-07-2009, 11:18 PM I always loved the scene where Louise is trying to hold up the backpack in the Season 5 opening credits. She falls back to the couch while reaching for George. I always laugh out loud at that one. It has the title card for Berlinda Tolbert & Jay Hammer on it.
Unfortunately, it is the only scene replaced in season 6 when Mike Evans returns. The scene that replaced it is Jenny & Lionel hugging and now has Berlinda Tolbert & Mike Evans.
Ironically, season 6 is the season where they put the names on the actual scenes of the person instead of just over random scenes.
OKCRay 02-10-2009, 12:42 AM I liked Florence doing her "no, masta" mammy bit. I also liked George bonking Weezy on the head as she sat under the hair dryer, and also Weezy doing that "indian dance" in the kitchen while Jenny was giving Lionel a haircut. :lol:
MickeyMac 02-10-2009, 08:56 PM The opening in where Tom is banging on George's hair when they and Helen were locked in the bathroom.

I like George knocking on Weezy's hair dryer, too. :lol: I also like Weezy pummeling George with the pillow. Speaking of pillows, I enjoy the Jeffersons and Willises smacking each other around with them. :lol:
catlover79 02-10-2009, 11:59 PM But my favorite is probably the one of them getting out of the cab and entering the building.
catlover79 02-11-2009, 12:01 AM I don't remember this one. When did this title card air?
MickeyMac 02-11-2009, 05:01 PM I don't remember this one. When did this title card air?

The First and Second Season
catlover79 02-11-2009, 07:05 PM The First and Second Season
Thanks - in my area all I've seen is the opening with the cab. I have yet to watch it on DVD, but I will get to it one of these days. :cool:
OKCRay 03-23-2009, 03:13 AM Almost forgot this one (since it only appeared in the opening during Season 3), but I also love where Louise is in the kitchen removing silverware from a box, George sneaks up behind her, startles her and makes her throw the tissue paper from the box in the air. :lol:
BigManMike 05-21-2009, 11:46 AM First and Second didn't have a whole lot to them. Just showed George and Weezy moving to their apartment. The scene with the cab at the end of those become the scene at the beginning starting at Season 3 and through the rest of the show. I don't know why titles in Seasons 3 and 4 didn't appear on the actual people, like Marla Gibbs name on the scene of George startling Louise in the kitchen and Paul Benedict's name on the scene when Jenny is giving Lionel a haircut and Louise is doing the Indian call. In Seasons 5 and 6, they were put on the people they belonged on. The scenes in Seasons 7-9 with Louise walking down the hallway in her big red dress and blonde wig and George taking off his top hat were good. The scene of the Jeffersons and the Willises fighting in the living room in Seasons 5-9 was good to. The Scene of George sleepwalking in Seasons 10-11 is another good one.

That was a good one. :lol:
