I can recall growing up watching this show. A lot of laughter went on while watching it. Then when the Jeffersons came out we watched that too. Again, with a lot of laughter! And before everyone goes freaking out about All In The Family for having a racist character in it, so did The Jeffersons!

None of the other shows would have existed had their characters not been developed in this show. Plus Carol O'Connor, a lifelong liberal, did a masterful job portraying his bigoted big mouth character. And Edith! Jean Stapleton was a genius & she perfectly offset Archie. I still ❤️ this show!

I was a kid when it was on, but my parents - who were socially progressive for the times - watched it, and thus so did I. It was an education for me on the ways of society that I had yet to experience/observe for myself, I also enjoyed getting the same from his other shows as well!

A positive reflection of blacks not living in poverty.
ReplyFunny, funny, funny, even within the serious episodes a unique funny was created.
ReplyDuh, it was hilarious.
ReplyBecause George Jefferson was sooo funny
ReplyMy mom didn't like the character of Archie Bunker & the way he spoke to his wife. Plus she hated hearing Edith's whiney voice when she'd say "Charrrllliie" & that she was cast as an oblivious air-head. She wasn't much of a Jefferson's fan either since we lived in a rural area & they were city aprtmt
ReplyI just like it better.
ReplySo funny!
ReplyGeorge was never verbally abusive and disrespectful to Weezy. While Archie was those things as well as ignorant. As a child watching the show it always made me sad. Cause I would think about all the women being treated like that in real life.
ReplyIt was a matter of pride to see my people on TV back then.
ReplyI loved the characters. Who didn't love Weezy?
ReplyI loved both shows , all the sitcoms from Norm Lear in the 70’s were the best , that’s when TV was so funny we had real clean comedy ,I would laugh hysterically every night . I don’t even watch tv except for the news because it’s all boring , nothing is funny . Bring all these shows back please
ReplyGrowing up, my family and I watched this show together every week and the series left me with great familial memories.
ReplyI used to love to watch this show because it funny. 🤣
ReplyIt showed me what I lived in poverty. However, it showed me what I could become as a mixed raced child, raised by my white grandmother...god bless her soul.
ReplyI love The Jeffersons! George was funny and he didn't take any crap from anyone. At that time he put a lot of prejudice white people in there place. The woman who played his mother was funny. His house keeper Florence was just as hilarious as George. The theme song Moving On Up was the best ever!
ReplyA show about black people being successful was enough for me. I loved watching this show as a child!
ReplyThe Jeffersons was the best, you finally saw a black man who owned his own business fare n square.
ReplyI loved the show and use to watch it all the time as a kid. It was funny, just hilarious 😂
