View Full Version : Did Anybody Know that George Jefferson Guest Starred on a Shortlived NBC Sitcom?!?
Brian Damage 03-07-2010, 01:49 AM The sitcom called E/R starred Elliott Gould as emergency room doctor Howard Sheinfeld, a recently divorced ear, nose, and throat specialist who moonlights at fictional Clark Street Hospital to keep up with his alimony payments. His colleague Dr. Eve Sheridan was played by Marcia Strassman in the pilot, and by Mary McDonnell in the regular series. The cast also included Conchata Ferrell, Jason Alexander, Lynne Moody, Bruce A. Young (one of the writers of the original play), and George Clooney, who would go on to appear in the similarly titled popular drama ER. The premiere episode also featured Sherman Hemsley as George Jefferson, who was the uncle of Lynne Moody's character, Julie Williams.

Mr. Television 03-07-2010, 11:25 AM Yea I saw that episode when it originally aired. The sitcom wasn't that bad. It had a great theme song too.

Brian Damage 03-07-2010, 11:51 AM I vaguely remember watching the show, I remember a young George Clooney on it and I do remember liking it.

TVFactFan 03-08-2010, 08:51 PM well then, you have got to make me a copy lol
i was thinking you was talking a sitcom on nbc before 1975-lol
steevo 03-10-2010, 09:39 PM I remember this sitcom as well. There are a number of ironies about this show. Elliot Gould starring as a surgeon on it after playing Trapper in the original MASH movie and George Clooney having a role in it before going on to start in a more well known drama also known as "ER" are two that I can think of. :D

I thought you meant a sitcom where George (Sherman) was a regular but too bad he was only in 1 episode.
DJM77 08-28-2010, 11:22 AM It was on CBS. One of the cable networks (USA I think) used to play reruns of it. If I can recall correctly George gets shot in the episode.

No he wasn't shot
DJM77 09-08-2010, 12:02 AM I watched my tape again. I was wrong about the reruns being on USA. They were on Lifetime. But what I wasn't wrong about was George getting shot. Solomon, I got the tape from you. You should watch it again.
