You wonder how a doorman is able to leave his post to constantly go up to see the Jeffersons. lol

But then again how much could we have expected from a character with a role as minor as the Doorman?-lol

He was OK. Like Mother Jefferson he was unlikable but he added something to the show especially in the later years when the cast was reduced. He is an odd case of someone being a recurring player for 11 seasons (the bartender was like that too although Ralph was in more episodes). Until a few years ago I thought that the doorman in the opening credits was Ralph, but since they didn't have any of the regular supporting players in the original credits it wouldn't have been right for Ralph to be there, although that other guy sure looks like him.

Ralph was dull, but it was funny how he always had his hand out, and how George would slam the door in his face. Cracked me up every time. :lol:

Yes, why would he slamm the door in Ralph's face when Ralph doing things for him?-lol I think the only time he slammed the door in Ralph's face was because Ralph didn't lie the right way or cause George to look stupid. But that was it.

I thought he slammed the door in Ralph's face because he had his hand out for a tip. You're the Research King, so check it out and get back to me. :D

He may have just closed the door while Ralph had his hand out but never slammed it like he did when Bentley came over
