Yeah but their upstairs neighbours(Helen and Bill,remember?) were a happy mixed race couple and,c'mon,Mrs Jeffersons was the sophisticated lady and a good caracheter.Oh,Florence was my favourite,haha!

Mr Jefferson:'Florence,your cooking tastes like dog food'
Florence:'Of course,that's because i cook for one'.

hehe

I can see how the show is funny. But maybe it was the times and my situation. I just remember feeling really uncomfortable sitting there with the black woman I loved while my dad sat glued to this show--I swear he did it on purpose. He could have turned to, oh, I don't know, The Brady Bunch or something.

I don't know this show. Was it an American version of Love Thy Neighbour?

isabel sanford is not lenny kravitz's mom. it was the other actress, the one marrie to wilis, the white neighbor. i think her character was named helen. Oh uyeah, her real name is roxie roker.
 


when i was little, me and my bro were latch-key, and we woudl wait for our folks to get home from work. My mo m would get home and start to cook dinner and she would always ask me or my bro to set the table just before the food was ready. it always seemed to be that I was setting the table or hearing someone set the table while the end credits rolled (where the song was hummed not sung).

ever since then, when I hear the end credit's song of the jeffersons I get instantly hungry, no matter where or when, and I salivate like pavlov's dogs. It is truly a pavlovian experiment gone wrong.

The jeffersons is great.

Rob Instigator 10.05.2006 04:08 PM

jefferson's was a spinoff of All In The Family.

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 04:09 PM

Pookie 10.05.2006 04:11 PM

I think the info was for me.

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 04:12 PM

Pookie 10.05.2006 04:14 PM

Oh yeah you're right,the one who played Helen.

I think they should have made a spinoff show for the tranny character Beverly from All In The Family, but they decided to kill her off instead.
