So in the 4 part Inflation episode Edith is working at the Jeffersons store but... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

we never see her at the actual store working?

Why even put that in the storyline if we never see her at the store? Actually we dont even see Jeffersons cleaners until the Jeffersons started. It was never seen on AITF which was weird. And even more weird that Edith was working there and not seen at all. It made this entire 4 part episode a waste of time

You must watch MeTv since this episode was just on last night.
I dont find it weird that we did not see Edith working in a store we never saw on AITF. I wanted to see the store too and was frustrated not to see Edith work.

Yes she was working there for part 2 and 3 and coming home from work and never saw the damm store lol

Also we dont see any cleaners store on 1st season of the Jeffersons either lol The first the store was shown was in season 2 of Jeffersons

Do we ever see Archie working on the loading dock? He goes up to "the office" a couple of times.

It seems one of the style differences between Lear and MTM shows at the time was that MTM liked to ping pong between their sets a couple times per show, but Lear was a lot more likely to stay on one set for a whole episode.

I don't think the loading dock ever appeared, unless it was a small office scene.

And sometimes his work there was important to an episode, like when Archie sent a shipment intended for London, Ontario all the way to London, England...!
