This is really a Jeffersons topic so I'm moving it over to the Jefferson's board.

:confused: It was a funny show?

But since he was the main character and was a black racist, how did it become such a hit in white America? That is what i'm asking. I was surprised to see the show do welln since George was so against Whites.
