Oh Yes, She was seen too much in season one. Then there was a episode about her Birthday???? Who the hell wanted to see that?

She was a scream especially when she slammed Louise. But Louise can hold her own against her as well. Frankly I liked that Louise much better than the snobbish one she became in the later seasons.

What got to be too much on The Jeffersons was Tom and George's friendship. I did not like them as a comedy duo on the show. The Willis' and the Jefferson's together made good comedy but the men alone was idiotic.

Yeah the friendship of Tom and George made me want to change the channel.

She never did try to get along with Louise. She didn't care that she was her son's wife.

That's because she felt George could do better than Louise.

I didnt like Mother Jefferson. I mean what does she have to complain about? Her son owned Dry Cleaner stores and lived in an awesome apartment. Not only that, why was she always mad at Louise? Its not like she cheated on George or spent all of his money.

We never really had "large doses" of Mother Jefferson, so to me, it's not really something any of us had to worry about. She'd pop on, deliver a few lines, usually kissing up to George and putting Louise down, then disappear until the next episode.

I think you need to watch season 1 and u will see it was large doses of Mother Jefferson

I think Mother Jefferson had just the right amount of screen time. For me, sitcoms go south when they start using supporting players too much. For example, Fonzie was a great back-up character when Happy Days started, but when he took over the show, they lost me as a viewer.

How often do you we need to see the main character's mother?

She was not needed at all.

The way Mother Jefferson treated Louise was disgusting. M.J. should have been ecstatic her son married a woman like Louise, who had such a big heart and character. I think Mother Jefferson was jealous of Louise. I give Louise a lot of credit for her amazing self-restraint; because Mother Jefferson could be a real piece of work.

In spite of the above though, M.J.'s screen time was just about right.

I guess she is one of those mothers that has a disliking towards the wife her son has chosen to marry. it happened 1 time when my brother married his girlfriend in 2005. my mother didn't approve of the marriage and of her. but overtime, she got over it and they get on well with one another.

That's just ridiculous because Louise was a loving and loyal wife. I hated the way Mother Jefferson was so unnecessarily mean to Louise.

She didn't think louise was small enough or pretty enough for George which was revealed in the episode below. Mother Jefferson invited his old girlfriend and that's the one she feels look better than Louise on

That was a good episode. Mother Jefferson was such a mean biddy. I don't think she would have approved of ANY woman George married.

At least Louise only had to put up with her for only a few seasons.
I have a couple of questions.
1. How was Zara Cully's death explained onscreen?
Did Mother Jeffersson also die? If yes, how?
2. Was ZC's death the reason Florence's part increased?
Florence was only on once in a while in the first couple of seasons.

1. No her death was never explained on screen

2. Yes Florence's role increased when Mother Jefferson was no longer on the show.


There was only a reference made to mother jefferson being dead in season 5 but it was never explained how she died.

dont get me wrong i like a little of mother jefferson but a big dose of her semi dissagreeable nautire is alot to take espacilly her constant insults of wezzie anybody else agree?Yes I do agree mate!!!

She is quite opinionated!!

I can't take her at all. Louise really needed to tell her off sometimes.

Mother Jefferson is lucky Louise didnt throw her off the roof!! Couldnt stand Mother Jefferson. That old fart would've pissed me off if I was married to George.

Absolutely. Because then she’d have to share George with another woman. She was LUCKY Louise was as nice as she was. Another wife might have found a clever way to retaliate against Mother J and driver her out of George’s life.
