He said it only once in season one. And Tom called George a Ni#ger in season 2.

No, George called his supposed best friend a Nig#a after he found out that he was harassing Louise and that was in season two, not one. Would they allow that word on network TV nowadays?

No i was saying that George also used the N-word in the first episode of season one. But yeah i know the episode you are talking about. It's the episode with Lou Gossett JR. As Far as the N-word being used, TV LAND cuts it out a lot. UPN keeps the N-word in sitcoms like Good Times and Sanford and Son.

Yeah that was a season 2 ep with Lou Gossett as George's Friend. I really don;t hear the N-Word on TV too much today.

In the first season when George's old friend Moke Davis tries to bribe George,when George learns that he was going to be bribed,he kicks Moke in the butt,and Moke tells George,"What's the matter with you,"N"???

I don't remember the N-Word in that ep

it was used in the subplot of the ep when helen and weezie were taking a cpr class . and they were using the pratice dummes and after they had ther turn the cpr insturctor asked the klansmen to be the next one to try and he says im sorry but my son and i dont kiss anything thats been kissed by a n word then weezie went home and told george what happend

The last time it was used was late in the series when he actually used the N-word in reference to Lionel! I think this was at the beginning of the 81-82 season (one of Mike Evans last episodes).

What episode was that and what was the context of it being used? I only remember Lionel being in 4 episodes in 1981-82

The episode I am referring to is #170- Blazing Jeffersons.

Here is the synopsis from tvtome.com:

<<George is distraught when he learns that his Brooklyn store has burned down due to faulty wiring. However, Tom raises his spirits by reminding him that his insurance will cover it by taking to court the person responsible for the faulty wiring. Just then George remembers who put in the wiring, Lionel.>>

When Lionel leaves the apartment, George uses the N-word on him to Louise.

It's been years since i seen that episode. I think 89 or 90

Wow. That was unusual for so late into the series and for him to have called his own son a n-----r is a bit shocking to me.

If I'm not mistaked Mike Evans quit the show at that point (not because of the word of course) and didn't appear again at all until Sayonara in year 11.

I remember an episode in season one where Tom calls Helen a N-----

Can't think of what ep that was.

I remember in episode 1 that George alluded to Tom calling Helen the N word if they ever got into a fight and Tom later admitting that it did cross his mind, but I don't ever remember him opening his mouth and saying it or Helen calling him a honkey. I can't really see either character using that language.

how could they have let this get by so much on TV back then if they wont allow them to say it on TV today...

the only show that i can think of today that has used it was Boston Public but it had a warning before it and on The Jeffersons they seemed to use it all the time!

on my UPN (UPN Atlanta) they leave it unbleeped all the time on The Jeffersons!

I'm not sure if they aired the episode wghere Jame has used it I'm sure they have I just didnt see it

I know when TBS was airing Good Times, they bleeped out the N-word, and honkey.

The n-word was also used in the episode "Tennis, Anyone?".

"And the dudes that run this club decided to get themselves a house n199#r."

Those episodes that have the n-word in them are rated TV-PG-L on TV Land, even though they usually don't play it, unlike the other Jeffersons episodes that are rated TV-G on TV Land.

He said it only once in season one. And Tom called George a Ni#ger in season 2.

Actually, Tom was fed up with George calling him a "honky", and he asked Geore how he would feel if he (Tom) called George a n****r. He didn't actually call him "n****r", just said it as an example of how racism cuts both ways.

I remember that well and the S H O C K E D look on both George and Louise's faces were absolutely positively priceless. They actually grabbed each other for support! I was howling my @ss off!!

George wasn't shocked, he was IMPRESSED that Tom had the balls to call him a N*gger"

LOL

George should have been impressed. Tom Willis definitely put up with a lot from George calling him a honkey. He was fed up, and who could blame him. :lol:

But what's crazy is he goes back to calling him honkey right after this moment and tom doesn't get that UPSET again.

Yeah, George wouldn't change his ways for nothing. Tom should have stood up to him a bit more after that. He could have gotten some good advice on how to handle George from Florence. :lol:

The crowd sounded like they were pleased to see the friendship ending between the Jeffersons and Willises

That's true, but I always liked how Louise and Helen were best friends. And when they did argue, it never lasted too long. I also liked Louise's friendship with Edith on AIIF.

Lemme get this straight: Tom should expect advice from Florence on how to deal with George after he called George a n*gger?? Hmmm. . . . I don't THINK so. As we all know, when a white person calls a black person a "N".....that white person is ON HIS OWN. And must deal with whatever consequences come out of that racist hate word. You never know HOW a black person will react when you call him/her that. It's very very risky. You MIGHT even say DANGEROUS.

Steffy wasn't talking about Tom talking to Florence on how to deal with George after he called him a N***ger. Steffy was just saying just in general since George always made a habit of clowning him
