Yay for The Jeffersons! 40th anniversary on Antenna TV. 40 years ago = 1975! Whoopdy-doo! I was 3 back then! :lol:

I'll never understand what Mother Jefferson had against Louise. Louise is like one of the nicest, compassionate, unselfish people in the world. I guess Mother Jefferson was just a typical old biddy who thinks that nobody is good enough for her son.

That is EXACTLY why! Louise was a sweetheart and put up with it! Mother Jefferson took advantage of that! George was her baby boy and nobody would ever be good enough for him in her eyes, and she had a very nice, good daughter in law and she knew it, but she thought she could still hold on to her son and be the most important woman in his life easier being that Louise was putting up with her. If Louise was a tougher more aggressive type and wouldn't put up with it, Mother J couldn't be doing that!;)

OMG I have two sons, I hope I don't come off like that with their girlfriends!!!!!!! :eek: LOL!!! :D

I have the Jefferson's on !! I've been cleaning up the house and getting ready for my Easter company tomorrow keeping an eye on the TV, it's only 7:00 here now! :)


I was 12 in April of 1975 when the Jefferson's premiered. :)

I wasn't born until 1982 but I still love The Jeffersons! It's my favorite show from the '70s!

Can you believe that Louise (Isabelle Sanford) was actually 20 years older than George (Sherman Hemsley)? Crazy, huh? She was actually old enough to be his mom. What's crazy is that they don't look like they are 20 years apart!

Huh. I never knew this. This is funny...I always thought HE was older than her.

You're right. And if either of your future daughter in laws are as sweet, kind and thoughtful as Louise, you will be very lucky! :)

Huh. I never knew this. This is funny...I always thought HE was older than her.
Right? Unbelievable! Louise (Isabelle) was born in 1917 and George (Sherman) was born in 1938. Crazy stuff. At the most, they look about five years apart. Hard to believe it's actually 20 years! That means Louise was really 57 years old when The Jeffersons debuted. George was 37. :crazy:

I know!!! Louise is a very nice, sweet, classy gal! She would make a very nice Daughter in law :) ;)

I had read before that Isabel Sanford was a lot older than Sherman Hemsley. I was surprised than too!!!! :eek: They look about the same age . Isabel/Louise looks really good for her age ,at 57 than, she looks a lot younger! :) ;)

Yes, they looked to be about the same age. Louise looked very young for her age, and George looked older for his age. Well, they made it work, because they really were believable as a married couple.

Huh. I never knew this. This is funny...I always thought HE was older than her.

George was so skinny in the early seasons, and then as the years went by, he got quite chubby. Funny because Tom Willis was very chubby early on and as the series waned on, Tom got thinner.

That's because he was fasting during the first season which he explained why he was so skinny

Yep, and before The Jeffersons, he was skinny on All in the Family.

I think he was actually a little bigger on All in the Family. That first season of the Jeffersons, he was REAL THIN

Isabel sanford said he was "ALL NECK"

LOL

That's true. George was all neck with a carnation sticking out of his suit. :lol:
I don't know... he looked pretty thin in All in the Family too. In one episode, Archie called George Jefferson "112 pounds of hate." :lol:

LOL

I won't get to see the 5pm episode of the Jeffersons because of some stupid local Philly program called "PHILLY PHEUD" lol

Is it the tape condition that's murdering the piano in the end credits? Many episodes sound like notes are going off key left and right.

The marathon is still going strong! They are only up to season 7. :cool:


I'm catching quite a few eps! I'm enjoying it. It's nice seeing the Jefferson's again. I haven't watched this in years! :)

I wish it ended at 12 am tonight because tonight it will be absolutely nothing to watch at 8pm to 12am

You're right. She was annoying as hell and she was a horrible maid... much worse than Florence... like how she fixed corn flakes for Louise's breakfast. :rolleyes:

It was the episode where George holds a beauty contest as a gimmick for Jefferson Cleaners. Whittendale's loser neice was supposed to be the winner. Her ridiculous talent was a balloon knocking down dominos! She had a punk rock hair style dyed about 5 different colors. Louise called her "it." :lol:
Right now is the Sammy Davis, Jr. episode. Cool, because I've never seen this one! :cool:

Good thing the Jeffersons don't air on Sundays at 5pm lol

Now is the episode where Helen and Louise are crushin' on their self-defense instructor named Ben Carter. LOL.
Helen was really a beautiful woman. My dad liked her a lot.

I think TV Land skipped this episode because I don't remember seeing it


Have no memory of seeing this crazy dude named BEN:lol:

Ben Carter wasn't so hot... don't know why Louise and Helen were so crazy about him.
Side note, I love the seasons where George and Tom became best friends. Back in the earlier seasons, I don't think Sherman Hemsley liked insulting Tom Willis.
I never saw a reason to insult Tom. He is just as sweet as Louise. It's like.... how can you have anything bad to say about him? He was a nice guy.

lol

They (TV Land) showed it before...I remember it.

Looks like Sony went through great pains to chop out any speck of the "Embassy Television" animation. I remember those used to slip through once in awhile.

When I saw the end I remembered seeing it when George and Tom lied about killing the animals. I think TV land and Antenna TV had different beginnings because I don't remember seeing Ben on the couch in the beginning

Is the marathon over now? They've skipped A LOT of episodes. They could at least play the last episode with Jessica's red robbins.

Dammit! They skipped so many episodes from each season.
Antenna TV has a lot to learn about showcasing a marathon!
Jerks!!!

I was hoping they showed the Jenny's Low episode and the one with Lou Gossett hitting on Louise

But I felt the marathon should have ended at 12am. Why the f*ck would they end it at the start of prime time?

OMG, I LOVED the episode with Lou Gosset hitting on Louise!
At least they did show a good episode with Louise's French student Michelle hitting on her. I think he was the same guy who was in 227. I liked the episode of the guy who liked Florence because of the way she insulted George. That was last night. I had my contact lenses out, so I didn't really see him, but he sounded like the same man who played the role of Roger's father on What's Happening. Do you know if that was him?

Roger's Dad played on the Jeffersons, Good Times, and Sanford and Son

I like that actor a lot. He was on a lot of other stuff, too, wasn't he?
On What's Happening, Mabel was crazy about him. I could see why. He was very charming and handsome.
On the Jeffersons, he seemed a little weird how he only liked Florence because of the way she insulted George. :lol:

Do you think Florence was a virgin?

Florence was so not normal... even for the '70s. It seemed like she was even afraid to just kiss a guy. I always wondered about her. :lol:

I only seen her kiss one guy on the show, "BILLY DEE WILLIAMS":lol: :lol:

Actually.... HE kissed her.... she just LET him kiss her... :lol:
Billy Dee Williams... just his voice alone makes a woman want to drop her drawers! But not Florence! What was she saving herself for? She wasn't even attractive.

No boyfriend for the entire show lol

I forgot the episode when George is giving her dating tips. George was roasting her and saying why she dont have a man and Florence just sat there and said nothing

I'm pretty sure that was the episode when Louise was trying to fix up Florence with her cop friend. He came over for dinner, and I remember at the end of the date, the cop guy was fed up with Florence and he told her that her roast was dry. :lol:
Yeah, in all of 11 seasons, Florence never had a boyfriend. Either she was a devout church lady or she was secretly gay and in the closet. I could never figure her out, but I always knew she was not normal.

Yes that was the one lol

He was a nice looking guy and he had a decent paying job.
Sorry, Florence blew it in my opinion. If Florence had any experience with men, she wouldn't have annoyed that cop to the point where he was completely fed up.

She basically was in no position to make fun of george lol

Of course not
George had a successful marriage!

I was just thinking about way back when the series started, I didn't know any people who were in mixed marriages. I did know (and went to school with) quite a few black kids and had really good friendships, but none of those kids were bi-racial.

So I found Tom & Helen sort of intriguing. Of course any man is going to be interested in someone as good-looking as Roxie.

Watched a little of the marathon. Mother Jefferson is beyond annoying. Louise had the patience of a saint to be around that old fart.

Honestly, I didnt like Tom Willis. To me, he came off like a big goof. I did like Louise and George although Louise bothered me in the Ms. Jefferson Cleaners episode. I mean she went on and on about how the pagent is sexist yet when her friend was in it, it was ok.


Btw, Florence left the show, right? I mean she did a spin-off that wasnt picked up and then came back? Also, how were Lionel and Jenny written out of the show. Never saw too much of them as the seasons went on or at least the episodes that I saw. Also, surprised that the Bunkers never visited the Jeffersons and vice versa. That would have been cool.

Florence left the show toward the end of season 7 and came back when the show was cancelled. It was said Lionel was in Japan but nothing was ever said about jenny.

It was no way for the Bunkers to visit because only edith was friends with Louise and she wasn't going to travel to Manhattan alone without Archie so it was no way it could ever happen.
