appear on "What's Happening?" lol

I am watching the Benefit Show now and Sammy Davis did not appear and everyone in the crowd was disappointed. lol Just seemed like he could have appeared on this show too.

What's Happening had a really low budget. They probably could not afford to get Sammy Davis, Jr. to appear. So they probably never even asked him.

Which this episode the most pointless of the series lol

Of course I remember Sammy on All in the Family, but I do not remember him on the Jeffersons. What was the premise of that episode? I guess I missed that one.

It was the last season of the Jeffersons, Sammy was in NYC and needed privacy and had a apt across the hall from the Jeffersons. It was just him and Louise the entire episode and he was only in the scene with George and Florence at the very end

Damn! I wish I would have seen that episode. I didn't see most of the final season. And I love the Jeffersons! Probably my favorite show that started in the 70's, and Sanford & Son, What's Happening, and Alice.

Here is the last part of that episode from the final season.

Louise was hiding Sammy in the closet every time Florence or George came out and then her and George left to go to an event and she forgot she left Sammy on the balcony and it was pouring down raining lol

I thought Sammy Davis JR was only on All in The Family. I didn't know he'd been on the Jeffersons as well.

Yes he was on the Jeffersons. Chico and the Man, and Cosby Show

He was on Archie Bunker's Place 01 19.
The Return of Sammy

His appearance on Archie Bunker's Place was actually before his appearance on The Jeffersons.

Yeah that is correct, he didn't paper on the Jeffersons until 1985

That isn't correct, he didn't get on The Jeffersons until the 1st date, 01/Jan/84.

He also appeared in Gimme A Break as well as the ill-fated continuation series, Sanford.

It was still after his appearance on ABP which is the point I was making

It actually wasn't the last season. It was season 10 (the next-to-final). The episode was titled "What Makes Sammy Run?".

Don't forget The Beverly Hillbillies and The Patty Duke Show. :lol:

SMH lol

Good point. It would've been fabulous had Sammy guest-starred on the series finale of "What's Happening!!"...but alas, it was not to be. Oh, well.

Did anyone mention he was on I Dream of Jeannie?

On Cosby I believe that Arnold Stang was also an episode guest.

Kind of made the episode pointless

Sammy made so many appearances on sitcoms back in the day that if he wouldn't do your show you could consider that a low blow.

Yup, Jeffersons, Chico and the Man, All in the Family

Sammy guested on Alice too, I believe.

I saw that he guest starred on Sanford but for some reason his appearances on Chico and the Man and Alice are not listed

Wonder if it's because those two shows haven't been in syndication that much

I didn't see his credit for Alice in imdb, so I'll have to retract my previous statement.

He appeared in Alice in wonderland in 1985:lol:

I agree, TVFactFan. It's also unfortunate that "The Benefit Show" was the series finale.

BTW: What happening should only come on once a night since the show only has 3 seasons.
