Ok I give you that one, that was close to depressing but not really

I say the same about the episode where we find out that Carl has lung cancer.

Cancer should never be part of any sitcom episode. Way too serious and very depressing. I don't even like cancer commercials

I see what you're saying, but it was only for one episode and then it was never heard of again. I think the whole Carl character should have never happened.

According to the writers, it didn't. They swept Carl under the rug never to be heard or seen from again. Flo mentioned him once on her return to Chicago from Arizona, but after that...he never existed. Her last name remained Evans - it was never "Mrs. Dixon".

They were never married, just engaged based on the on screen situations

The episode of All in the Family, where Edith almost got raped, was the most disturbing of all. (Speaking of: What Were They Thinking?!!)

The only disturbing moment on the Jeffersons is when George would walk on Mr. Bently

To me it's kind of GAY for a man to walk on another man. I don't give a sh*t how much pain he is in

Thelma mentioned Carl and Flo being on their honeymoon. Only people who marry go on honeymoons. We didn't have to see a wedding to know that.

Well I see why people stopped watching in season 6 because she comes back from Arizona with no husband and no explanation and on top of all that, Thelma's football boyfriend breaks his leg and can't play football and J.J loses his job

People were probably fed up with SAD situations and no longer wanted to watch

My mom said that she stopped watching it when they killed James off because he made the show.
