Does anyone know if "The Jeffersons" stopped taping before a live audience at some point during the show's run? It seems in the later years, the show's audience laughter seemed muffled and "controlled". I know "All in the Family" stopped using live audiences around 1977 as did "One Day At A Time", but what about "The Jeffersons"?

I think after season 5

I think it was probably in the 1980's as the viewers would stop hearing Isabelle Sanford say at the end, "The Jeffersons was filmed in front of a live studio audience."

I will see if that is heard on the season 5 closing credits of the ep I'm watching right now

Yeah you were right it was in the 80's because the season 5 ep I watched on TV Land Tonight u could hear Isabel saying Taped in front of a Live studio audience"

The Season 7 episodes still have a "taped before a studio audience" credit in the end credits.
