The one downside to watching this show is that I never understand the humor since

[TVFactFan]

I was only a baby at the time. I get so jealous of how the studio audience is just busting out laughing and going crazy and I have no idea why. Kind of disappointing


In almost every episode from 1975 to 1978 I can only say......."I had to be around to understand"

Yeah, I know the feeling. I'm glad I've watched Maude reruns with my mom, because she can explain a joke/reference that was before my time. Maude ended its run a year before I was born, and I was born about halfway during The Jeffersons' run.

Maybe I need to watch a Jeffersons marathon with my mom

I like to watch The Jeffersons with my dad. He was about 30 when the show first aired, so he always got the humor. I was in kindergarten at the time. I still remember watching the show with him when it was running in the 70s.

My mom is passionate Historian and loves to provide historical information about EVERYTHING



If we was watching the episode when George was wearing the red and black Tux she would have told me some fun facts about men who wore those at the time

I have a memory of my dad saying this when I was 2 or 3 when he watched the Jeffersons in the living room

"I love George Jefferson"

My dad used to dance around like George Jefferson. Sometimes he still does it, and he's in his late 60s.
We also used to do the Tom Willis dance as a goof. That was fun.

Yup I grew up on the Jeffersons because all the members of my family watched it in the 1970's.

Same here. My dad and all my aunts loved The Jeffersons, Good Times and Sanford & Son. Those shows were always on in the 70s.

I thought George Jefferson sometimes moved and danced around like Mick Jagger! Maybe that's where he got some of his moves
