NBC Announces The Jefferson’s return to Prime Time

After more than 18 years after being canceled and 28 years since it’s original broadcast, NBC announced this week that they will be bringing back The Jefferson’s for an 11th season.

When asked why NBC is bringing back the Jefferson’s, executive writer, Nancy Boyle explains, "Our network has always been producing high quality family programming. Bringing back Weezy (Isabel Sanford) & George (Sherman Hemsley) seemed like the natural thing to do. We are going to bring it more up to date."

The main feature of the show will still be the love/hate relationship of the Jefferson’s. However George’s dry cleaning business went under and they had to move out of their deluxe apartment in the sky.

Living on social security the Jefferson’s had to fire their maid Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs) and move into their new apartment at "227". As you may know 227 was the show Marla Gibbs moved onto after the original run of the Jefferson’s ended.

Gibbs will remain on the show as her 227 character Mary Jenkins and Hal Williams will return as Mary’s husband Lester Jenkins.

Other returning characters include Regina King who played Brenda Jenkins, Curtis Baldwin who played Brenda‘s boyfriend Calvin Dobbs and yes… Jackee’ will be returning to play that sexy devil Sandra Clark.

To add a little flavor to the show Lenny Kravitz will be playing a wild rocker that lives next door to the Jefferson’s. His character (Dreads Willis) coincidentally will be the son of The Jefferson’s old Neighbors Helen and Tom Willis. The late Roxie Roker who played Helen Willis was the real life mother of Lenny Kravitz.

When asked why he agreed to do this show Kravitz said, "It’s like ya know man, I’m paying a homage to my momma who always said her life was all about The Jefferson’s. I plan to incorporate some of her style and flair to my character, Dreads. Of course Dreads will be a little goofy like his Poppa Tom."

The writers plan on having Dreads and Sandra Clark (Jackee’) get married mid season. Jackee’ says of this soon to be union, "Well, I hope that little man knows that you can’t just tie Sandra down, Sandra does the tying baby. Any man who even sees her automatically wants her and I hope that Dreads can handle that; I doubt he can. It will make things very interesting though."

The Jefferson’s will be airing Thursday nights at 9pm on NBC.
