which spin off do you like better? I know this is a lame question but I am trying to stir up action here. This was the only thing I could think of.

I think it's a really good question! I have to say I like them both though! They are both funny in their own ways. I love Bea Arthur's sarcasm and I also like a lot of things about the Jefferson's. George's character was funny and I loved Florence, and I liked the way everyone played off each other on the show.

Maude is a funny show, but I just love The Jeffersons. That show is hilarious.

I like Maude but The Jefferson takes it.

Maude...... the Jeffersons may have been funnier, but, I think Maude was a more intelligent show, the Liberal version of all in the Family, you might say

The Jeffersons all the way, Maude is just for one time viewing

I like some AITF episodes, most of those are from seasons 1-4. But there was never a spinoff from AITF that I really liked. The series changed TV comedy, alright-- within 3 or 4 years every sitcom was some kind of stepchild of AITF, making sneering jokes about sex, religion, Americanism, et al. Maude and The Jeffersons just picked up AITF type material and put into different settings. AITF was new in its type of material, and the perfect setting to exploit it; however I never liked the fact that more 'innocent' comedies were completely pushed out of television because of its success.

Maude is my pick, but I like both of these shows.

I can't pick, I liked both shows equally they were both different.
