Damm, tell me something I don't know about the Jeffersons and it's cast members

who the hell didn't know that Isabel was older than Sherman? Plus one of their facts was inccurate

They said Marla Gibbs and Belinda Tolbert were the only cast members still alive which is false because Damon Evans is still alive too.

They mentioned that Mike Evans also worked for Good Times. DUH!? :lol:
Like, who doesn't know that?
They also mentioned how Roxie Roker is the mother of Lenny Kravitz. Really? I never would have known that! :lol: :crazy:

And that Roxie Roker and Franklin Cover was the first interracial couple on TV

LOL



And they just revealed this fact

"The Jeffersons cast found out about the show being cancelled in the newspaper":lol:

They said Marla Gibbs and Belinda Tolbert were the only cast members still alive which is false because Damon Evans is still alive too.
No, this is true. They said that they are the only surviving ORIGINAL cast members. Damon Evans is not an original cast member. He was a replacement.

Oh ok. I didn't hear original

Well i know for a fact that they are wrong about this because I have the magazines and books to prove it

That Mike Evans left the Jeffersons to work on good times


Not true. It was stated in ebony magazine from 1976 that he left because his role became too small. That was also mentioned in the 1981 titled the Jeffersons


So I have no idea who works in the antenna tv research dept. Lol

^^^ Yeah, they were wrong on that one. I always knew that Mike Evans didn't care for how small the role of Lionel was at the time.

And not sure if you can read Old Ebony Magazines online, but I think if you can it;s all in that article. The ebony magazine with the Jeffersons on the front cover

I would wager that the majority of people watching (now) didn't know those things.

Only if they were born in the year 2000 or after

One thing I didn't know was about Paul Benedict ( Mr. Bentley) having a medical /pituitary gland condition ! The reason he had such a big face and pronounced facial features! Seeing him on the Jefferson's as a kid I thought it was just because he was a big man!

I remember that magazine very well. It always pissed me off that Lionel was not in the family photo.
Can you blame him for leaving?

I'm sorry, here is the pic with the second Lionel and mother jefferson on front of Jet Magazine

I never thought the second Lionel was any great actor. He was almost as bad as the second Alan Willis. I liked the original Alan much better.

And the guy who played the second lionel had the nerve to leave the show because he would not get more money lol

I wasn't able to watch as much as I would've liked. Did they mention that Roxie Roker was Lenny Kravitz' mom and Al Roker's cousin?

Yes they she was a distant cousin of AL roker

I didnt like the second Lionel either. He seemed too loud and angry all the time.

he took after his father lol

I liked the first Lionel better too. He did seem nicer and he was better looking than the second Lionel. But you are right 2nd Lionel did seem like he would be George's son more. 1rst Lionel had Louise's personality more! :)

Yea and Roxie and Al Roker are cousins.

One of them found out from their cousin but I forget which one it was and they were all mad they didn't get a send off some shows do.
