It's a tough choice, but i would have to say the Jeffersons because i would have been interesting in seeing Archie's reaction to Bentley and Florence.

Archie no doubt would have thought Bentley was gay (remember him calling England a *** country). And we can only imagine the possible fireworks with Florence! Does anyone know why a crossover was never done-certainly the writers could have come up with a situation where Archie would have to visit the Jeffersons, especially when Edith was still alive. Was Carroll not interested in doing a crossover?

I loved the animosity between Maude and Archie...:D

The Jeffersons

That's tough. The tention and resulting comedy between Archie and Maude was great, but I'd have to say The Jeffersons. I would've loved to see Archie's facial expression when he met Tom and Helen! :lol:

Wow, that is a hard choice. I'd have to say The Jeffersons, though. as someone else mentioned, his reactions with Florence would have been priceless.

And the fact that the Jeffersons returned to All in the Family, i see no reason why Archie and Edith couldn't visit the Jeffersons

Actually Archie did meet Tom and Helen on the AITF episode "Lionel's Engagement" but Tom was originally named "Lewis" Willis and was played by a different actor. Archie befriended "Lewis" as the only other white guy there and was shocked to find he was Jenny's father.

Yes, you're right, my mistake. I forgot all about that episode. That was a hilarious episode, though, now that I think about it.

Yeah, it was very funny.

George: "See what happens when you mix white and black, Louise? Another five seconds, he's gonna call her a n*****!"
Archie: "Listen to this guy, I ain't said that word in three years!

:lol: As if he's a saint, hahaha...

My censored word is a three letter word for gay that begins with an "f". I find it amusing that it was censored on this board but it was OK for Archie to say it on TV (albeit, it is a deragatory term, but then again, that's why Archie used it). Maybe we are in more conservative times now.

The Jeffersons

simply because it's the better show, IMO.

Although I like Maude, too.

Maude, with no doubt. She's the only one who could ever stand up to him completely and be hysterical...

George Jefferson wasn't hysterical?

Of course he was, but look at how many Archie/George confrontations there were. How many Archie/Maude confrontations were there? Two that I can remember. Not nearly enough...

Archie on the Jeffersons would have been a very entertaining episode.

I would have liked to see Archie and Fred Sanford. :D

AITF could have never crossed over with Sanford and Son because it was on CBS and S&S was on NBC. Two different networks

Yeah, it was very funny.

I loved that episode and that scene was funny as well as the scene were
Archie refers to Mother Jefferson as George's "Mammy". Big mistake. :lol:

Archie and Florence would've been sitcom gold.

Archie and Florence would've been sitcom gold.


I think Archie and Bentley would have been sitcom gold.
