That was a couple of episodes not seen in as opposed to only seen on one episode. Thanks for clearing that up.

Thank you. I didn't see Mother Jefferson's boyfriend but I saw the other two. I always wondered why he left the show. Looking back at that now I believe you're right. But how did he manage to get back on the show?

I read a book title the Jeffersons tat was published in 1983 and it was said that Mike Evans ran into Sherman Hemsley about 4 years after he left the show. Then they both started talking about the good old days and Hemsley called the producers of the Show and then the producers called Mike Evans. The producers saw that Evans had grown up and asked him to come back to the show in 1979 and he accepted.

Lionel was in Rich Man's Disease. Remember, Mother Jefferson came back with him after seeing the Radio City Rockettes and he hadn't finished his JuJu Bees.

Did they just kick the second Lionel off the show when they asked Mike back. What's his name? Damon Evans?

Damon Evans already left the show by that time. Damon Evans left the show in 1978. When ShermAn Hemsley ran into Mike Evans that was 1979.

Oh yeah. It's been a long time. I forgot all about that. It's a good thing you keep up with the reading.
