Even though the Jeffersons was my favorite show, I do kind of agree that it seemed like 85% of the eps were in the APT building-lol

Louise did a lot of work at the Help Center.

It was said in the article also that Louise had lost her soul in the later seasons and became the little woman behind her man. The author also said in the 80's, Louise was no longer a woman of strength, had no interests of her own, and no network of friends
