Which one of these characters do you feel it was hard to like? George or Fred? Or do you think both was likeable? I'm asking because someone said they didn;t like neither the Jeffersons or Sanford and Son because both characters were very rude, shallow and mean.


You know i disagree with that-lol

fred

I think both were rude, shallow, and mean, if they could make that buck, they were going for it.However, I think George may have been more respectful to Lionel than Fred was to Lamont, but also feel that Lioned wouldn't have taken as much crap off George that Lamont did off Fred.So I think Fred, by a hair.

I don't ever recall George being disrespectful to Lionel

The way he treated Jenny sometimes.

Well, between those 2 , Fred Sanford, but, Archie Bunker was worst of all

They were both bigmouths, but if I had to choose one for my father, I'd take George. At least he was rich. :D

But if George was your Dad he would have told you


"remember when you have money you are better than everyone else"-LOL


That's what he told his son Lionel

Fred was probably the more "likeable" in that he was fun loving and enjoyed life, didn't feel superior (except to Puerto Ricans like Julio), but both he AND George had their prejudices, George just seemed a bit more real to life. So with that realness, people probably took more of what the character said to heart.

Although each character had his faults I never thought of either of them as unlikeable. They were both very funny.

:lol: Poor Julio. He tried so hard to be neighborly to Fred. One of my favorite lines from the show is
Julio, "Buenos Noches Mr. Sanford"
Fred,"Bony knees to you too":lol:

True, but there's no law that says I had to feed into that crap. I'll take the Daddy with the dough. :D

I would say neither. As much crap as they talked and as much hatred they sprewed, everyone loved them because they were honest, loving and funny.

"Louise I'm not telling you to look down on anyone since we are moving up, i'm just saying to shift your angle and have them look up at you"-lol


George Jefferson statement from, 1975

George was more nasty, and Fred was more grumpy. They were alike, but different. What made them alike was that they had two big mouth women to trade insults with. LOL

of the 2 Fred was probably the most likeable although they were both funny.

ITA!!! As far as Fred and Lamont, they were always talking crap to each other, but it was mostly in a joking way. You could tell they really cared about each other.
