View Full Version : During the Second Season of the Jeffersons, lot of viewers had problems when George
TVFactFan 02-23-2006, 09:32 PM used the word-"SUCKER". Correct me If I'm wrong but didn't Lawanda Page from Sanford and Son use SUCKER all the Time? So before the 3rd season, a CBS executive no longer wanted the word SUCKER used on the show because many viewers would have miscontrued it's meaning-lol STRANGE.
This Info was found Today in a September 1976 Issue of Jet Magazine
Brian Damage 02-27-2006, 12:52 PM That is a little strange considering he used the words Honkey and Niggr. Sucker is tame by comparison.

I know-lol He defintely used HONKEY after season 3 but not SUCKER?

I love it when he says Honkey.
comedyfreak 02-28-2006, 04:29 AM Me too, and when he calls someone Chump or Jive Turkey.
CindyRoxiesLair2006 02-28-2006, 08:51 PM Even though it was all in (twisted) humor, I'd much rather hear him, as a black person, say "Sucker/Sucka" or "Chump", as opposed to the N-word.
ANY black person who uses that N-word truly gets on my LAST NERVE, it doesn't matter whether there's a so-called "in-race group understanding" or not.
It's the worst word in any language! Period...
:( :mad:

Yeah he certainly used the N-word a lot in 1975
faraj 03-05-2006, 05:29 PM Shirley also said "Sucker" a lot on What's Happening!!
TVFactFan 03-07-2006, 04:42 PM Shirley also said "Sucker" a lot on What's Happening!!
She sure did-"you taking your life into your hands sucker". I honestly don't remember George saying SUCKER-lol
GARFIELDKOOL 03-08-2006, 08:13 PM She sure did-"you taking your life into your hands sucker". I honestly don't remember George saying SUCKER-lol
George did say sucker. I can't remember, but I think it was that episode when Lou Gosset guest starred.
ThomasE 03-11-2006, 11:20 PM Yeah he certainly used the N-word a lot in 1975
He sure did. I remember him using it in the Louis Gossett episode. I thought that George went too far at times.
faraj 03-12-2006, 12:45 AM He sure did. I remember him using it in the Louis Gossett episode. I thought that George went too far at times.
I wonder if that was when Wendell Brown (whom Louis Gossett played) made a pass at Weezy.
TVFactFan 03-12-2006, 12:50 AM He sure did. I remember him using it in the Louis Gossett episode. I thought that George went too far at times.
Yes he did. One of his Classic Snobbish Moments Below
Louise: "George just because we are moving up it's no reason for us to look down on people"
George: "I'm not telling you to look down on nobody, I'm just saying shift your angle and have them start looking up at you."
LOL
ThomasE 03-12-2006, 12:35 PM I wonder if that was when Wendell Brown (whom Louis Gossett played) made a pass at Weezy.
Yes. That was the episode. Solomon, you gave a a good example with that quote. When I get my list together, I want to do a trade and get your original broadcast shows. LOL.

USATVFAN 02-25-2007, 08:16 PM I Know This Is An old Thread. But if People Didn't Like George Saying The Word Sucka wouldn't you think people would not like Aunt Esther Saying Sucka On Sanford And Son? she said it in the 1975-1976 season on sanford and son that same season george use it on the jeffersons.

I didn't mind George saying sucka. He said it occasionally. Aunt Esther made that her coin phrase, therefore, it fit her to say it.
