GEORGE JEFFERSON'S OLD ARMY BUDDY,EDDIE VISITS...ONLY EDDIE HAS HAD A SEX CHANGE AND IS NOW EDIE...BY THE END OF THE EPISODE GEORGE AGREES TO CALL HER EDIE AND THEY ARE STILL FRIENDS...HOW LOUD SHOULD I YELL WOKE?🤔
shareThey always had a lesson to be learned in The Jefferson’s back then.
I remember one that really made an impression on me as a kid was when George went to some big conference in his building and it turned out to be a clan meeting. The main dude had a heart attack when him and George were arguing, and George was the only one there who knew CPR. When George brought the clan leader back to life the guy asked who saved him. When they pointed at George the the guy said “you should have let me die!”
I was like: WTF!?!?!
It might have even been one of those where it was pure silence during the end credits instead of the happy Jefferson’s song. Different Strokes used to have some rough ones too and those lessons would stick with ya when you were a kid.
GEORGE JEFFERSON IS ONE COOL DUDE.
shareOh, that bike shop episode was creepy.
I’m not sure we caught on as kids but something seemed ‘off.’
I’m surprised that one made it to network TV back then but it’s probably good that it did.
That was messed up. When Dudley’s dad came and talked to him in the end you knew something was big time wrong.
shareDamn I still remember that episode. It's weird, I can't explain it, I didn't fully understand what the episode was about while at the same time understanding it completely. I suppose it makes sense, I was too young to understand it on an intellectual level, but I understood it on an emotional one.
sharesame here, never forgot that episode:
The Jeffersons | Sorry, Wrong Meeting | Season 7 Episode 14. https://youtu.be/cP-Fs2EashA
It might have even been one of those where it was pure silence during the end credits instead of the happy Jefferson’s song.
A lot of Norman Lear's sitcoms used that technique. It was the precursor to the "Tonight, on a very special episode of [insert name of show here]..." that was a big thing in the 1990s.
I don’t remember this particular episode but we did enjoy the Jeffersons. We preferred the goings-on at 704 Hauser St., Queens.
😁
You meathead! 😀
shareDummy up you!
shareStifle yourself you dingbat you!
shareGREAT SHOW...SO GREAT IT SPUN OFF A SHOW SO GOOD A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S A SPIN OFF.
shareYeah, a great spin-off. My family liked it a lot.
For the time it was sort of clever to have two shows bursting bubbles, making the audience laugh and both starring lovable main characters with a few ‘issues.’
Classic stuff!
I HAVE SEEN EVERY ALL IN THE FAMILY...THE JEFFERSONS STILL HAS EPISODES THAT ARE NEW TO ME THOUGH...AMAZING TO WATCH A RE RUN OF A SHOW MADE BEFORE I WAS BORN AND THINKING...THIS IS CUTTING EDGE.
shareDo you watch Different Strokes also?
shareI HAVE SEEN MOST/ALL AS A KID/TEEN...I DO OCCASIONALLY SEE RERUNS WHEN MY CHANNEL HAS THE SHOW...OTHER THAN PHYSICAL MEDIA AND YOUTUBE I HAVE ONE OF THOSE FREE TV ANTENNAS...BUT I NEVER CHANGE THE CHANNEL...I LEAVE IT ON ANTENNATV AT ALL TIMES...24 HOUR A DAY CLASSIC SITCOMS...MY CATS AND I LOVE IT.
I NEED TO GET DIFFERENT STROKES ON DVD...THAT WOULD BE SWEET.

I also remember things like light-hearted Patrick Swayze movies featuring drag queens.
It's only been quite recently that rightwingers have started attacking drag queens and transgender folks so fiercely. For the right it's simply another outrage du jour...and they simply don't care about hurting real people.
I get sick of hearing about it. Actually, on both sides. The trials & tribulations of drag-queens is a very small agenda item for me.
I understand its a MAGA football, but boy is it a tedious one.
