appearance on All in the Family? This decreased screen time for Mike Evans also carried over to the Jeffersons in season 1 which led to his abrupt departure. So I guess what I'm trying to say is Sherman Hemsley stole the spotlight from Mike Evans-lol

I have never notice that before.

I don't Think that george haven't show up yet.

i am still in season 2 (episode 11) .......Archie didn't recieve a xmas bonus and Henry Jefferson was on as a BLACK Santa Claus.

George was mentioned in that xmas episode.

George was mentioned in seasons 1, 2. and 3 but wasn't actually seen until season 4.

was that because they was searching for the right actor to play George Jefferson?

I like Henry Jefferson and his views about Jesus and Santa.

Who said they weren't black?

ROFL

Yup - they were still looking for the "perfect" George so they used Henry until he was found in the 4th season. I liked Henry too though - especially the episode where he and Archie blow raspberries at each other - they both must have been soaked after doing that scene! :lol:

I missed Lionel - BADLY!! I loved the way he would play Archie. I really liked Mike Evans and thought he'd go on to bigger and better things. I never liked the second Lionel at all (on The Jeffersons).

He's right about Jesus though - he was an Ethiopean Jew. Chances are is WAS black. Its just been the white historians that made him white.

No wait - maybe that was Michael Jackson! ;)

Yes, it was a 2 year search for the actor to play George Jefferson

I loved the way he would play Archie.

me too.

I always get a kick out of that.

In a previous episode, Archie's TV was broken and Loinel tried to fix his tv.

Loinel acted he was a slave for Archie. LOL

Then a jewish tv repair man stop by.

He told Archie that he will fix it on Monday because he wanted to go to church AND he don't work in the evening at all.

Archie didn't like that one bit.

they went to Kelsey's bar to see him on the CBS NEWS.

suddenly, Richard Nixon INTERUPTED the news!

That ticked Archie off big time.

Later at home, Lionel stop by to tease Archie about being Richard Nixon!

that was a funny episode.

No matter what race Jesus was, he was a man of ALL COLORS!

the stupid white historians needs to lay off. they weren't ever around in Jesus' days!

what do they know? Last week, I heard on the news that Jesus was married and his wife had a baby.


Love the Michael Jackson joke. that was cute.

me too.

Is that the All in the Family episode that featured DAN RATHER?

the one and only Dan Rather.

Season 2......Episode 12 - the Man In The Street

I didn't know that Dan was in a episode.

I figured it will be some ACTOR playing a news reporter.

I was quite surpised.

me too.

Yeah, that was a good one for sure. I also liked it when Lionel pulls Archie's leg by telling him he was going to be an "EEElectrical Engineer!"

I agree! I've recently heard and read about the married thing too. I hadn't heard about a baby. I'm starting to think that Mary Magdonlin (sp?) wasn't a hooker, but had a disease which Jesus cured. They fell in love and either did marry, or were at least a couple. It makes sense her staying with Mary (the Madonna) until the end came. Also, in the painting of the Last Supper, the figure to the left of Christ looks suspiciously female - being Mary. I don't know what the big deal is they're making if Jesus had been married. No reason you can't take a mate but also serve God.


re: the MJ joke - thx! :D Love taking a shot at him every chance I can get.

I loved how Archie hated Walter Cronkite too!! :lol:

Actually, they wanted Sherman Hemsley all along, but he was unavailable. They kept the spot open for him until he was available.

:notworthy You are right! I now remember hearing that now that you mention it. Yah - he was under contract doing something else and they had to wait.
