Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
fivestarmichael Isn't it weird that George Jefferson is supposed to be a wealthy man who owns 13 dry-cleaning stores.... however his apartment is no where near as nice or large as "Frasiers" (a radio talk-show host) or the "Friends" apartment. In fact, the Jefferson's apartment is really small and cheap looking. A burlap couch... the dining room is connected to the living room (of course so is Frasier's)... aluminum sliding glass doors.But someone who is "Moving on up" and owns 13 stores would have something nicer than this wouldn't they? All I am saying is, the Jefferson's apartment looks kind of "working class" to me.
rsks514 Bring it back!!!!! We need a good laugh and a great sitcom like this one to enjoy!! Hail The Jeffersons!! Bring back the sitcom on TV land or nick @night. Its was a great comedy just like threes company, Archie, All in the family, Homeymooners, Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, and The Bob Newhart Show, and now they play 10 Roseannes in a row on both channels which really stinks cause I don't even like Roseanne, so I don't even watch these channels after Good Times cause it isn't worth it at all. Dick Van Dyke show, What happened to all the great sitcom classics they USEDto play, GO Back to them and you'll probably gain another 10,0000.00 viewers!! Think about it!!
roboto1976 The Jeffersons may have been a spin-off of All In The Family, but it stands on it's own as one of the best sitcoms. The sad thing is that CBS canceled the show in it's tenth season, even while it was still tops in the ratings. I love the dynamic interaction between George and Florence. The hate/hate relationship between Louise and Mother Jefferson is also hilarious. It's amazing to think that an interracial married couple had never been portrayed on television before this show. The Jeffersons is a classic today and for future generations. A footnote...Ja'net DuBois sang "Movin' On Up", the theme song for this show. I never made the connection until today!
Mike_Tee_Vee The Jeffersons (1975) was a spin-off of the madly successful "All In theFamily". The Jeffersons were the neighbors of the Bunkers. After theircharacters proved to be unexpected draws, the producers decided to givethem their own series. The pilot was an "All In the Family" episode. Wesaw the Jeffersons moving into a high rise. They finally made the bigleagues.The first four seasons of this show were highly entertaining. But thisdidn't last long. The show dragged on for seven more seasons before thenetwork decided to pull the plug. The series even had two spin-off showsof their own but they didn't last more than a month or so. ShermanHemsley and Isabel Sanford become one of the biggest and most wellknown t.v. couples. George and Louise along with Florence (Marla Gibbs)and company. George's mother was around for a few seasons until shepassed away. A fun show that was one of my favorites when I was younger. But likemost shows it just went on too long. By the time it was the 80's, thewriters were just recycling older plots are making one too many "special"episodes. Even through all that and two actors playing one character(George and "Wheezy's" son). The show became a t.v. classic and a bigpart of American pop culture.Factoid: The character of Mother Jefferson seems to be based upon the mother inlaw in "Til Death Do Us Part", a B.B.C. program that was the basis for"All in the Family".
