I know that's kind of weird. Never crossed over any of his parent show and spinoffs
Czas na Zywiec 11-11-2003, 11:24 PM If he did crossovers, it would ruin your whole "Good Times was not a spinoff" argument, so in a way, it's beneficial towards you. :lol:

I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Kirk W Morgan 11-12-2003, 02:45 PM What I was always puzzled about was that Maude was somewhere in upstate New York,but when Good Times came along the Evanses were in Chicago and Floridas husband Henry became James! So this is perhaps why Good Times technically isn't a direct spin-off of Maude!?

Lookie here. A brand new member signs up and posts that Good Times isn't a spin-off, citing very familiar sounding reasons. :lol:
Brian Damage 11-12-2003, 03:29 PM It's a fractured spinoff, let's leave it at that.

db108108 11-13-2003, 03:15 AM There was a crossover. The first time I remember seeing Archie Bunker and Edith was when I was watching an episode of Maude. I had never watched either show, but I do remember this VERY clearly.

barwars 11-24-2003, 08:28 PM The Jefferson made appearances on All In The Family after The Jeffersons began.
Does that count??
from tvtome.com....
208. The Family Next Door
gs: Janet MacLachlan (Polly Lewis) Isabel Sanford (Louise Jefferson) Richard Ward (--) David Byrd (--)
Louise Jefferson returns for a visit at the Bunker's place to ask Edith if she can sell her (Louise's) former house. Edith doubts but Archie makes her agree so that they (mostly he) can choose white people to move in. When Edith sells the house to a couple and she invites the lady to her house, Archie realises that the woman is black and so is her husband. But Archie isn't disturbed when he finds out that the man is a cop, which could be good for Archie's safety.
b: 11-Mar-1979 pc: 921 w: Mel Tolkin and Larry Rhine d: Paul Bogart
NOTE: This episode marks the last episode of Allan Melvin (Barney Hefner) in the series All in the Family.
Louise, played by Isabel Sanford, is the final character of the Jeffersons family to appear in the series.

I guess what I should have said is none of the characters from the parent show never appeared on the SPINOFF
Archie or Edith never appeared on the Jeffersons or Maude.
George and Louise never appeared on Florence's spinoff-(Checking IN)
Archie never appeared on the spinoff Gloria
Elaine Benes 11-24-2003, 08:43 PM Maude wasn't on Good Times either.

That's because Good Times was not a spinoff of Maude. I don't feel like getting into another long discussion so if you want to know why I can send u private message explaining why and Magazines support that also.

TVFactFan 12-30-2024, 04:51 PM I found out years later that Norman Lear didnt want Jeffersons to Crossover with All in the Family because he wanted the Jeffersons to stand on its own with any assistance from AITF
Dude111 12-30-2024, 09:48 PM Ah well it sure didnt need any help :)
