Weezy didn't deserve them, but you have to admit, they were funny. Mother Jefferson insulted Weezy everytime she made in appearance. I always looked forward to seeing Mother Jefferson just so I could hear an insult. LOL

I would say she did not deserve the insults, but they were hilarious tho. Then again Weezy fired right back at her to make it double the fun. :lol: :happyface

I can kind of relate to Mother Jefferson now since my Mom is seeing a guy that I feel is not much. So Mother Jefferson basically felt like George could do a lot better than Louise and that's how I feel about my Mom's current situation-lol

Oh Kool, I so agree with you. It was so damn funny. True, those insults were totally uncalled for...but it sure made for some funny moments.

George couldn't do better because it took a great lady to put up with George and his antics, attitude and shortness.

Later in the series we saw that George COULD have done a lot better when that attractive women showed up

Who??? Barbara McNair???

Who??? Barbara McNair???


Yup

I really liked Mother Jefferson, but she was out of line. It's not like George and Louise were just dating. They were married for years and had a child together.

Yup
So, instead of George being married to a woman who loved him, was faithful to him, put up with him, was committed to him throughhout bad times, poor times and other times, he should have married a woman who was ready to drop him at any moment something better came along???? That is, a MAN WITH $$$$ instead of believing in your man and sticking with him through rough times hoping he will make it big some day....

If that is what you think makes a great lady, I feel sorry for you. So what if Barbara's character was better looking...IT DIDN'T MAKE HER A BETTER WOMAN overall. Louise had character, charm, was devoted, honest and loved him NO MATTER WHAT.

Weezy was devoted to George and wouldn't drop him for anyone. She loved him. The character played by Barbara didn't love him, or she wouldn't have left him for some jive turkey that had "instant money" who later on ended up with nothing.

I was saying that's how Mother Jefferson felt not ME-lol

Mother jefferson: I have a brain like a sponge.

Weezie: Bet you got a liver like one too.

Later in the series we saw that George COULD have done a lot better when that attractive women showed up
This is YOU talking, not Mother Jefferson.

Gosh, Mother Jefferson treated poor Weezy like poo. Mother Jefferson was worse than the typical mother-in-law. I never understood why she was so mean to Louise. Weezy was with George way before he had any money, so Mother Jefferson should just be glad that her son wasn't mixed up with some gold-digger.

Exactly. Had he ended up with that Barbara McNair character, George wouldn't even be rich.
George even told her when she came around that "none of this would be yours" because HAD HE chosen her over Louise, he would have followed a different path in life and never made it $$$ wise the way he did while married to Louise. He went on and on telling that character how all she wanted was $$$, have fun, etc. Louise gave stability to George.

So Solomon, stop making it seem like beauty and attractiveness is all there is to women. Beauty only goes so far and it fades. Intelligience and graciousness lasts forever, and that is what Louise had, along with many other characteristics.

I was just saying we the viewers saw he could have done better PHYSICALLY, not Better OVERALL. When you compare Louise and Barbara it's obviously he could have had a more attractive women but in the long run it wouldn't have been a good idea

You cold busted him, Irene. He can't back out of this. He even said over weight woman (Mabel King) are not exciting to look at.

I'm just going by what was in the script-lol

Ahh, you just reminded me, Louise was also overweight. So was that Barbara McNair character. Not that weight matters, especially in this argument, but it shows that George fell in love with Louise for who she was and would be as a wife, not how long her looks would last or her figure. I found Louise, in the later seasons to be one hot lady!

I'm just going by what was in the script-lol

Irene just quoted what YOU posted from what came from you, not some script.

What do you mean the script? It is you who is saying Barbara McNair was a nice looking lady and that George could have done better. The script never says that.

Irene just quoted what YOU posted from what came from you, not some script.


When I say I was going by what was in the script, I mean they cast a pretty woman to play george's old girlfriend who was prettier than louise. So Seeing that, that means that George could have done better looks wise but not necessarily that well in the long run

What do you mean the script? It is you who is saying Barbara McNair was a nice looking lady and that George could have done better. The script never says that.


No but the producers cast a pretty woman to play babraba to show up at George's place which was in the script

You think the producers PURPOSELY did that? I think when they casted an actress, they merely chose the best one for the part, I hardly think they said, "Let's choose someone who is prettier"...that is your thinking Solomon. In YOUR EYES, she is prettier. This episode has nothing to do with looks, it was the kind of woman she was when George dated her. He remembered how much fun she was and obviously remembered the good times with her, partying and so forth. You are the only one who referenced her looks.

The producers cast a well known actress to appear in the episode to play a former flame of George's, that's all.

Ok let see if I can explain it this way, I just compared Louise to the Woman they cast as Barbara and saw that George could have done better. Remember this is what Mother Jefferson was saying and then we finally saw why she didn't like Louise as MUCH. This is All Mother Jefferson not Sol-lol

I think Louise "Weezy" Mills Jefferson is beautiful! That's my Boo :D

In Mother Jefferson's eyes...NO ONE WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GEORGE...he was a mama's boy on some levels. She wasn't thinking abt looks...:crazy: Mother Jefferson showed her "attitude" to Weezy every chance she got. I highly doubt she would have approved of the Barbara McNair character had she gotten to know her.

But we are in agreement that Mother Jefferson didn't approve of Louise's looks right?

I don't ever remember Mother Jefferson making remarks about Louise's appearance (outside of fashion).

She made jokes about her weight

Insensitive people do that. Doesn't make it true.
You are grasping at straws here Solomon...

She made jokes about her weight

I had no idea that being overweight meant that you were ugly or not good enough to marry someone :rolleyes: . And we all knew that her [Mother Jefferson's] remarks about the clothes were ridiculous, because Louise had the baddest threads on tv in the 70s and early 80s.

I never had a problem with Louise, I'm just pointing out how Mother Jefferson wanted a smaller woman for her son. She even says in a 1977 ep that Louise's BUTT is too big-lol No being overweight does not mean you are not good enoughj, MOTHER JEFFERSON FELT IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!! NOT SOLOMON_LOL Why do I keep repeating myself over and over?-lol Geesh

Not at all, but they were funny. Louise never did anything for Mother Jefferson to insult her.

Because you state one thing and then another when you put your foot in your mouth. First you state your opinions, then you state it's the producers, then you state it was Mother Jefferson, you can't keep your comments straight. Bottom line, you are inferring that George could have had a better looking woman (other than Louise) because you mentioned the Barbara McNair character and LOOKS IS WHAT YOU ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH when it comes to women.

I'm watching that ep Tonight so I can see if Mother Jefferson said she wanted that character as George Girlfriend

George could have anyone as his girlfriend...who he chose for his wife is a different story.

And again, you are grasping at straws...why is a character going to mention a character that doesn't appear until many seasons later?

I'm not sure why she wanted someone else for George but she did stated that she didn't want George to marry her.

I see you missed one of my posts. SHE FELT NO WOMAN WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GEORGE. If she had it her way, she would have chosen a woman for him, that is, if she could find one GOOD ENOUGH. It wasn't a personal thing, it was called being a MAMA'S BOY. I know abt that. My ex-husband's mother was exactly like her. She had seven sons and hated ALL OF US!!!! My ex-father in law told me it's not personal, she just doesn't think there are any good women good enough for her boys. :rolleyes:

I would love it when Louise would fire back and then Mother Jefferson thought that Louise was picking on her. LOL. That was funny.

Mother Jefferson does a crossword puzzle.

Olivia: What's a four letter word for annoying pain?
Louise: N-LAW!

Some people have to realize that looks fade as we get older. Things will start to sag and hang (YES even on men) :lol: so you have to look past looks and on to more important things.

Bottom line, WOULD GEORGE BE HAPPY WITH A WOMAN OR EVEN MOTHER JEFFERSON, WOULD SHE BE HAPPY WITH A WOMAN WHO WOULD PULL A GUN ON HER SON?????? Anyone who would do that, I don't give a s**t how damn good looking they are, THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!! And you are crazy Solomon for not seeing the whole picture.

Oh Yeah I forgot the gun part. She wanted the life that Weezie had, but she ended up having a sh*tty life :lol:

We have the eps mixed up, I'm talking about a 1977 ep with Mother Jefferson, the ep you are referring to is from the 80's so she must have made two appearances. I know the gun ep but that wasn;t the one I was referring to because it was a ep in the 80's

Oh Yeah I forgot the gun part. She wanted the life that Weezie had, but she ended up having a sh*tty life :lol:


I think that woman may have played wo different characters on the show. I have to check

Ok, we now know that Solomon got two actresses/two episodes mixed up. He was referring to the one last night while I was referring to a later one with Barbara McNair in the gun episode.

Now that we got that cleared up...:crazy:
