1. Joe and Rhoda fighting each other with those foam sticks and falling on each other at the end after getting out of their anger.........just like the Jeffersons

2. Guy with a tuxedo at Rhoda's apartment playing the Accordian at a dinner party just like the guy at the Jeffersons apartment

3. Rhoda had a drunken doorman and so did the Jeffersons when they first moved in LOL



I'm sure there will be more since both shows were based in Manhattan at the same time

Not to mention that there is a lot of YELLING on both shows. :lol:

Yup, so far I have seen Brenda yell, Rhoda, Joe, and Ida. :lol:

The only character who hasn't yelled yet is Brenda Boyfriends

The late David Groh (Joe) was also a tremendous dramatic actor. He was absolutely chilling on separate episodes of Law & Order (in its early days). Yes, he was yelling a lot on that show, too!! :eek: :crazy: :lol:

I;m interested in seeing how the show is when he leaves

I love this story about David Groh that I read in a soaps book and later confirmed online - this is when he acted on General Hospital in the mid-80s:

http://eyeonsoaps.net/wp/2010/11/gh-didja-know/

"In a scene where D.L. Brock was rescuing Bobbie Spencer from thugs on the docks, actor David Groh got so caught up in the scene that he screamed an obscenity at the actors playing the thugs. Rather than re-tape, the producer drowned out his obscenity with a fog horn sound."

http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20085833,00.html

"General Hospital's Steve Bond (who plays sexy Jimmy Lee Holt) has been ordered by ABC's program practices department to leave his Jockey briefs in the bottom drawer. Nothing but boxer shorts on the show from now on, the taste arbiters ruled. But the censors were more lenient with fellow cast member David Groh (D.L. Brock), who in a fight scene to air Aug. 31 let slip a certain four-letter word beginning with "F." Rather than re-shoot the scene—in which D.L.'s lover, Bobbie Spencer (played by Jackie Zeman), is about to be raped—the producers decided to use a foghorn to cover up his faux pas."

Speaking of Joe, we can add number 5 to the list after yelling because the episode I just watched he had on a Tuxedo like George did LOL

Even though Joe's was just a basic black tux, we already know what kind of tux George was working with LOL

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:



Monika I have number 6. Watching the episode "Myrna's Story and Rhoda is trying to sell her sketches to a guy name.....Mr. BENTLEY!!!:lol:

I must have missed that one. Are we sure the writers on both shows weren't swapping ideas?? :crazy: :lol:

Now, Joe dancing like George - THAT would've been awesome. :D

I'm starting to think the same thing because now that is 6 similarities between the two shows so there must have been some idea swapping



About to watch 2 or 3 more eps.....can we get number 7?? I will let you know:lol: :lol:

Sweet!!! :cool: :D

Both shows have meddling mothers: Rhoda's Ma, Ida and George Jefferson's Mama, Mother Jefferson.

That's 7...............:lol:

Not to butt in, but Rhoda wanted into the fashion business and so did Jenny, right?

That's 8!

George Jefferson had a brother that went missing after the spin-off and so did Rhoda once she got her spin-off :lol:

Yup, Jenny in the later seasons, we have number 8.........:lol:

George Jefferson had a brother that went missing after the spin-off and so did Rhoda once she got her spin-off :lol:

Good one! Also, George Jefferson and Rhoda Morgenstern left behind their arch-nemisis' when they spun-off onto their own shows, George, Archie Bunker and Rhoda, Phyllis Lindstrom!

And THAT they were both spin-offs, does that count as something in common?

Yeah the fact that they were both spinoffs can make it number 9 and the fact that they were both based in Manhattan which can be number 10:lol:

George and Joe were both fathers of one son, if that counts (and even though we very rarely saw Joe's little boy with his first wife).

Here's another one - Rhoda and Joe married in her parents' apartment, and Lionel and Jenny married in his parents' apartment.

Good One Monika!!

Good One Monika!!
Thanks - and both marriages ended in divorce.

Both The Jeffersons and Rhoda had a popular castmember leave their respective shows, to star in their own series. Marla Gibbs left The Jeffersons to star in Checking In, and Nancy Walker left Rhoda for Blansky's Beauties and The Nancy Walker Show.

And both returned to their original shows, after the new shows failed.
