George Jefferson appeared in the final episode of Fresh Prince but NO ONE from FM did!

Umm....both of those answers are right. Just because they aren't what you thought of doesn't mean that they are wrong. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Okay, at first I went with the obvious, as stated: African-American.

Then I went with the flippant: they all have the letter "f" in the title somewhere.

Then I got curious and started researching. Whether or not this is what you're after, I think it's kind of interesting:

Each show had a change of actor playing a particular role.

The Jeffersons -
Lionel Jefferson was played by: Mike Evans, then Damon Evans, then Mike Evans again.

Family Matters -
Harriette (Harriet) Winslow was played by: Jo Marie Payton-Noble, then by Judyann Elder.

Fresh Prince -
Vivian Banks was played by: Janet Hubert-Whitten, then by Daphne Reid.

No that is not the answer either-the only way this question can be answered if a person seen every episode of all three shows.

Since you obviously have your own agenda, here is a list of connections:

1. Jaleel White starred in Family Matters and guest starred in an episode of The Jeffersons and The Fresh Prince.

2. Sherman Hemsley starred in The Jeffersons and guest starred on Family Matters and The Fresh Prince.

3. Earl Boen guest starred in all three shows.

4. Rodney Kageyama guest starred in all three shows.

5. Arnold Johnson guest starred in all three shows.


So, take your pick. They're all correct answers.

Everything you said is true, but not the answer i'm looking for-It was something wacky that the producers of all three shows did that will never be forgotten. Does that help you

Well, if you mean, bringing in a little kid to make the show "cute" that can't really be said about The Jeffersons, because Ebonie Smith only appeared as Jessica Jefferson in a couple of episodes. The Cosby Show, Who's the Boss? and The Brady Bunch are better examples than The Jeffersons.

The only other thing I can think of is the multiple actors playing characters.

Right-all three shows had two people playing one character

Jeffersons-Two Lionels
Family Matters-Two Harriets
Fresh Prince-Two Vivians

Ooookay. Maybe next time you should be notified by telegram as well or better yet, give us your number, and we can call you. :crazy:

That's weird though because i usually get notified all the time when someone replies by email-don't know what happen that time

Well, it's nice to know that my research was worthwhile. :happyface

Regarding the email... :confused:

I don't know what to tell ya; I posted like I normally do.

You know, sometimes different ISPs don't always communicate with one another. I've heard of several occasions where someone's email service randomly blocked an email simply because the service thought that it looked like spam. But, not every time, just from time to time.

The machines are winning!!
:eek:

Solomon,
I too get e-mail notifications of posts I post in when someone replies, but after you get one notification, unless you visit or post in the same thread again, odds are you're not going to get an e-mail saying someone new has replied, which is strange. Maybe this helps.
