So you telling me there is not a show liked by all races? Sanford and Son is liked by white people and black people

Not the case for the Jeffersons

Ant-Lox · 02-18-2014, 09:01 PM

All races is pretty broad.

I don't like Sanford and Son that much, and I'm black. I never really liked the Esther character, she scared me as a kid.

I liked the Jeffersons for a while, but I wouldn't buy it on DVD or anything.

I think the idea is good, but I could never wrap my mind around why they needed a maid for such a small apartment.

Seriously. Two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. And they needed a maid?! Even the Cosbys, with their huge, three-story townhouse and five kids, never needed a maid!

I was thinking of people in general and I'm sure The Jeffersons is liked by whites as well. I know my grandparents watched it every week because I was living with them and I recall watching the first episode of Checking In but don't remember much about it.

More whites like Sanford and son and Good times which is why the show is not complete on DVD

those shows also have fewer seasons, and apparently most tv show releases on DVD tend to have declining sales for each season released.

I like the Jeffersons a lot, can handle Sanford and Son in small doses and am really ambivalent about Good Times.

Good Times is doing so well on DVD that it has been re-released by another company

I'm white and I liked the Jerffersons for a while and then it got boaring after being on for so long. I like Cosby(still watch it in re runs) What' s Happening, Good Times, The Flip Wilson Show, That's my Mama, I liked a different World and Rock until they got too controversial.

Good Times didn't get boring?

The Jeffersons ran for far to long. Way past the point of relevancy. The Jeffersons lost "The Eye Of The Tiger", that is they forgot what it was like to be poor, and that spoiled them. So people could not relate to them anymore.

IllinoisTVFan · 03-03-2014, 03:38 AM

I bought all of the Jeffersons DVD's for my mom and she is white. I've known white people who liked shows with black casts (and to be fair Jeffersons was mixed, not purely blacks).

Don't quite follow what you're getting at Sol. Why is not buying a show you like "part of the problem" ? What "problem". Just curious what you're getting at.

I really like the Jeffersons, but have stopped buying PRACTICALLY all shows because ones I like usually turn up free someplace on You Tube or Antenna. Actually, I did by two seasons of The Jeffersons, but if I had it to do over, with what I know now, I wouldn't have. Why? Because what I bought I could have seen most of for free now. But I don't regret it because who knew seven years ago how much would become free from the sources I mentioned above.

As for why someone wouldn't like The Jeffersons, could be a lot of reasons: not liking NYC, George, Florence, the story line etc. Everyone has their own tastes. But as for me I really like the show. The only thing I really didn't like was the changing of the Lionels. I REALLY LIKED Mike Evans and when he was replaced the show JTS for me. Still enjoyable but not as much as before.
