What was it exactly that entertained you the most when watching the Jeffersons? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The thing that entertained me the most was "George's Dancing". Best part of the show to me and his dance scene with Helen in the episode-"Dinner Party for Harry" was truly a classic moment.

George's dancing, his interaction with Florence and others he didn't like, and when he slammed the door in someone's face, especially when they were still talking.

Mother Jefferson!!!

She was so funny when she was rude to Louise. My favorite line of all time is "I always say if you can't say something nice about someone don't say anything at all. That's why I seldom talk about Louise"

I also loved the way she said "Oh". Like when she asked Louise if she was going to get dressed for her Birthday Party (knowing full well she was already dressed up) and Louise said "I am dressed" she let out this disgusted "Oooooooooohhhhhhhh" I just loved Mother Jefferson so much.

The George and Weezy relationship. They remind me of a lot or real life married couples that I know. Despite their differences, you know they weren't going to get a divorce. I also liked the first Lionel a great deal. Also the cast overall had very good chemistry from the very first episode and they clearly enjoyed their work and working together. It comes through onscreen.

listening to George Jefferson say some random things.

Some Examples:

George (talking to Weezy) : "Haiwaii isn't all that great. If it was, God wouldn't have separated it from the rest of the country"

Flo: "My horoscope said that I will be involved in a runaway romance."
George: "I can believe that because any guy you get with will run away."

Mr. Bentley (singing): " I'm a little teapot, short and stout........"
George (singing): "......Here is the door, now get the hell out"

George (talking to Weezy): " I know you are upset because it is your birthday and you are getting older....but at least you aren't as old as you are going to be"

....those are just a few of the funny things he has said.

And of course I love watching my girl, Weezy. She was awesome!

George: See there you go again Florence Gimme. gimmie, Have you ever once thought about saying Mr. Jefferson can i please Have a TV.

Florence: You know are right, maybe I did say it wrong, Mr. Jefferson can I please have a TV?

George: NO!!!!!!!!!!!

lil_weezy · 01-20-2005, 09:01 PM

lol...that was a funny one...

Here are some others I thought of:

Weezy: "What if someone came up to you and asked you how to get somewhere in french?"

George: "I'll just tell them in english"

George: "I know about copper smelting...first you take the copper and smelt it, then you smelt it again....and then you smelt until you can't smelt it anymore."

George: "Florence, you have a well trained voice...now train it to play dead"

TVFactFan · 01-20-2005, 09:20 PM

Here is another one

"the only difference between old money and new money is that the new money crackles More"

lil_weezy · 01-23-2005, 08:21 PM

Tom: "I hate to say it Louise, but your grandmother was a plagerist."
George: "Weezy, I thought your family were Methodist."

Weezy: "George, everybody seems ostentatious."
George: "As long as they have money, I don't care about their religion."

George: "Weezy, I haven't been honest with you. Before we came here I went to the doctor for a checkup and my blood pressure was high."
Weezy: "How high?"
George: "High enough for me to take this vacation."
Weezy: "What?!..but you told me that we were taking this trip b/c u love me"
George: "Well Weezy I do....But being dead is nothing like being with you."
Weezy: "Aw, thanks George.....I think."
