Jeffersons??? S&S is funny but I thought the Jeffersons was funny to lots of people. What is it about the Jeffersons that people don;t like? I'm confused.

I believe the reason why Sanford and Son is selling better than The Jeffersons, because of it continuous airplay on TV Land.

I wanna know why too. Except for Barney Miller, I have CT's 70's sitcoms: All In The Family, Good Times, Jeffersons, Soap, What's Happening. For my personal preference Sanford & Son isn't a must own, but I'd buy the Jeffersons. Maybe they wanted to concentrate on finishing out S&S before continuing Jeffersons, not that that makes any sense.

I figured that was why they would get all of the Sanford and Son season out in order in which they came out in. All of them are unedited with a few expections according to some posters.

That can have something to do with it.

I think the bottom line, since the Jeffersons is not on TV Land or N@N; the sales of the last DVD were poor...

I didn't figure that Sanford and Son sold as many copies as it did but it did otherwise they wouldn't have the complete set out by now. I do wish that they would get The Jeffersons out now that they are over with Sanford and Son.

Well Solomon, the truth may be, that the Second Season DVD did not sell very well; I am just as disapointed as you are, but what can you do about it.

But one could also think that not being seen much on tv would create more of a demand. Good Times stopped showing on TBS and CT shortened the time between releases.

Just because The Jeffersons aren't on TV Land or Nick at Nite doesn't mean that the sales of Season 2 didn't sell well. Now that Sanford and Son is complete,they will get started and concentrate on getting the Jeffersons Season 3 coming out.

Nothing but hope TV ONE picks up the Jeffersons-LOL

Doesn't anybody know how Barney Miller Season 1 fared on DVD??? I heard that it didn't sell well itself.

Well, I hope that you are correct, and I was only ASSUMING that the sales of the last DVD of the Jeffersons did not sell well...

Now, that would be something if TV One would acquire The Jeffersons and What's Happening too.
