TV One releases their "pathetic tribute" to Sherman Hemsley - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was under the impression that the Jeffersons would air from 8pm to 2am on Friday night but that is not the case. The Jeffersons will air from 8pm to 12am so that TV One can squeeze in "a hour of Good Times" from 12am to 1am and then they will go back to the Jeffersons at 1am to 2am

It's almost like they are saying...."why did he have to die now because we had planned on airing our money maker..."good times"

So TV One is a Piece of SH*T too

Beggars can't be choosers, at least he's getting something. There have been people who have died in the past and got nothing but their picture flashed on the screen. Be happy with what you get because they didn't have to do anything.

When Don Knotts died he got a two hr marathon. So, Yes at least he got something. Like I said, they didn't have to do anything for him. They could have done him like they did others and just flash his picture on the screen with his birth/death year. Be grateful

OMG now you are comparing Don Knotts to Sherman Hemsley, a person who never had a successful show of his own and made a career out of being a supporting character

Brieanna you get a BIG F today

I'm not comparing anything or anyone. Don Knotts was a legend who did not get half as what Sherman is getting. When Aaron Spelling (Legend) died TVland gave him a 2 hour Marathon. So I don't see why you're complaining.

My issue is Good Times airs every f*cking day so for TV one to squeeze it in during a Sherman hemsley tribute, it's very disrespectful

And I was content with the 8pm to 2am airing of the Jeffersons but Good Times just always has to be seen, ALWAYS. I bet when Jimmie Walker dies TV One will have a marathon every day for a month

So you have your panties in a bunch over 1 hour? I could see if you were mad because they only gave him a 1 hour tribute, but he's getting more than others have gotten in the past. Be happy and grateful for what you get.

I will probably watch the Jeffersons Saturday morning but on Friday I will be watching the Olympics opening ceremony.

Sounds like you are distraught, Solomon. LOL. For some reason, I thought of you when I posted that news about Sherman Hemsley passing yesterday on FB.

It's just a shame that the man can't get a proper tribute without Good Times being involved, a show that airs on TV one every damm day

If you all think this is bad, here in Australia, there has been NO mention of Mr. Hemsley's death in the news! Not even online!

What an insult!

Now it's up to you to spread the word bud. Post on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Aussie news sites, do something in lieu of complaining.

From all your responses, It's clear that the Jeffersons is not in your TOP 5 list of great sitcoms
