How about the episode where George is locked in his bathroom with the Willises' because he didn't want to go to dinner with Bentley and his sister and George wanted to go to the Whittendale party??? That is a very funny episode. Especially when he yells for help and they show Louise in the hair dryer eating candy,and Tom and Helen arguing because she called Tom's publisher dinners boring. And then George and Tom try and write a note on toilet paper and Helen tells them where to put it,puts in the toilet and flushes it. Hilarious episode!!!

:lol:

That episode where they have Bentley's birthday party and George and Tom are wearing matching tuxedoes,and everyone gets into a fight. I like that electric accordion player as well. Also when Florence saw them both in their tuxedos she laughed really loud.

There's another episode(this one's from the first season) where George wants to be noticed in the newspaper so he wants the newspaper reporter to interview him and tell him how he came from poor beginnings to the top. And George tries to call the reporter and everything and stretches the truth by saying he is having an ambassador from the UN,a couple of millionaires,and maybe an astronaut. And Mother Jefferson calls him back and asks why he got mad at her,and that she wanted to come to dinner and George says no,and George says, She's On Her Way,and Louise says, Well, You Have One Guest Lined Up, Your Mother, The Astronaut!!!
Then when George describes his life to the reporter,he tells of when he was little,and George says,I remember when I was a little... then Florence says Meatball and then George said,when he was born in a cotton field out came... and Florence said, Clam Dip, Cheese Puffs,and when George says when he was born Mother Jefferson corrects him and says that he was 46 not 45,and George tells her that he was 45 when he was telling his story,and then the Willises' came and they described how Helen's father was a publisher,and then Bentley and his girlfriend came and the reporter told him about Bentley's job at the UN,and then when the reporter left,he mistaked George's name as Mr. Jefferies

I forgot about the reporter episode, i liked the part when George told Florence to answer the door and she had something to say-Then he said real loud "GET THE DOOR"!!!. Then in that same episode-he thought the newspaper man was calling right back when the phone rung but it was Mother Jefferson on the phone, and George screamed-GET OFF THE LINE!!!!-LOL

All those are good but my favorite is from the episode, Every Night Fever, where George catches disco fever.

I think he lost something in the episode disco fever because he was dancing much better in 1975. Look at the episode Louise feels Useless and compare it to the way he danced in 1979 episode. It was a big difference by that time he and he was heavier with less moves. But overall-still good George moment.

Out of all those, none can match my personal favorite George Jefferson moment. In the first part of the two-parter on the mystery cruise, George pokes fun at a lady pretending to be dead. I can't remember the exact lines but they made me :rotflmao:

You are talking about the 80's? George was not entertaing at all by then. I'm surprised you didn't find nothing on the list entertaining. Those are five classics.

Yes i have seen the episode but it does not compare to none of the episodes on my list. IMO. Not a episode I would record.

I will admit that the scene, at least to me anyway, was the only funny part. To be honest, i have not seen the ones you posted but from the way they were written and described, they didn't seem as hilarious as the one I posted.

Really? All those episodes were from 1975. Those were some of the funniest episodes. You have to get that DVD to see what I mean. You will be very entertained.

I had so many favorite George's moments, that it would really be unfair for me to narrow it down to one. He was truly a character. There isn't anyone like him.

When he walks. Ever notice that. When he's happy. He made a deal with a rich client. He has a way of walking while he's laughing that laugh and he dance/walks away with his arms just swinging. Or even when he's mad. His arms swing behind him and that strut...too much.:happyface
