I don;t think you will be able to get episodes of Checking Episodes because the show only lasted a MONTH. The only Checking In Episode you may be able to get is the pilot which is a Jeffersons Episode.

Always try e-bay, you never know.

Checking In was only on for 30days. I'm 378% sure no one hit the record button when that show was on in 81. The show is GONE FOREVER

You never know

That's right. 'Out All Night' starring Patti LaBelle was on for a short time and they showed reruns of that. Somebody has it recorded somewhere....even if it were on for 1 day.:cool:

Thank you.

But Checking In has never been aired no where since it was yanked offf the air. Remember only 4 episodes were made.

It doesn't matter. No where in history is anything made, put on air and not saved. Whether they show reruns or not, they are saved. Someone has it even if it were only one episode. It's called Museum of TV and Broadcasting. If you want you can go to New York and ask for whatever show or radio broadcast you want/it's like a library/ and you look it up and watch/listen to whatever you have chosen. Also they have a name for the preservation of films. Anything...I say, anything at all that is filmed is PRESERVED.:cool:

True by a TV Network or Museum. I know for a fact no one recorded Checking In 1981. But like you said it is saved. It's right in the CBS library-LOL

You never know.

That's right.:lol:

Lionel, whoever was playing him, was the second weakest character on The Jeffersons next to Jenny.

What is all this Mike Evans love all about? Lionel could have been played by anybody. He was ultimately not very important to the show.

It could have been Lionel's show but the producers GAVE the show to George.

I guess you never saw Lionel on All in the Family. He existed long before GEORGE JEFFERSON

That was All in The Family, on the Jeffersons he was unfunny and useless. It was George's show because he was actually funny.

Yeah u r right. George was the funniest in 1975 and a little bit of 76. And that's it. Did you get the article?

Not yet.

I saw All in the Family.

The point is The Jeffersons spinoff was about George and Louise- they were the MAIN characters and there is no doubt about that as the premise. Lionel was just a supporting character and always was meant to be in the background.
