Is it just me or did the episodes that aired in the 80's seem less racially charged than the episodes from the 70's? Although I think that the 80's had some of the most hilarious moments of the show, it seemed to be less groundbreaking later on.

Yes you are right, the characters all changed in the 80's. But I still enjoyed it from 75-85

The 80's episodes are still good, but they defintely felt different as I watched today. No Lionel and Jenny, no Bentley, the show felt "empty", and George and Tom became friends. It just felt weird.

I agree. The show flowed away from that Norman Learish style and went to pure sitcom/comedy. I loved the show no matter what.

What on earth....three times????? :rofl:

I see they did Mike Evans wrong once again, when he returned he had to take a back seat to Florence in 1979 like he did to Mother Jefferson in 1975
