George Jefferson proudly running around flushing the four toilets


Somehow I think he got the raw end of that deal. I personally would rather of had two bathrooms and a washer and dryer than 4 bathrooms and have to leave the apartment and go down stairs to do the laundry. I know people probably think this should have been covered on The Jeffersons Board, but this was on an episode of All In The Family... 

He doesn't have to do his own laundry so what's he care?

That's what the maid's for. Assuming that Florence didn't make Weezy do it.

reply

Even so, what's George care? Lol. He doesn't do laundry. And there are elevators. You wanna take elevators to the john? I'd rather have 4 terlets.

I never could figure out how Lionel's room fit (next to the second bathroom shown by George), as Bentley's place is too close.

reply

I could never understand the layout either. Often times, when people leave Jefferson's apartment, the make a left turn in the hallway where Bentley's apartment is located...

Maybe they like to steal his newspaper.

reply

I was just talking in general sense, me personally, I think I'd prefer just two bathrooms and a washer/dryer...

reply

I think the point was that growing up George had one bathroom and had to wait on others, so he took pride in not having to do that.

reply

That was exactly the pernt, Gc.

Either way I was happy to know that the Jeffersons finally got their own place so they no longer had to live in Frank and Irene Lorenzo's kitchen anymore...

I don't get it. Didn't the Jeffersons live there before the Lorenzo's?

reply

The kitchen scenery that was first shown on the show was used as the Lorenzos'...

reply

I'll take your word on that.

He's right, even though both houses are on either side of the Bunkers'. And Archie said the houses are the same except some of them are turned around. But Lionel told Archie his house had three bedrooms, even though the Stivics only seemed to have two.

reply

We never were shown the Jeffersons in any other part of their house other than the kitchen. They did show Louise talking to Jim Bowman in front of the house in Lionel Moves Into The Neighborhood. For some reason the front of the house was completely changed when it was shown in Mike Faces Life when the Stivics were living in it...

reply

The most obvious contradiction is the enormity of the interior of the Bunkers, main floor, as opposed to the Stivics' interior, which was how all of the homes should've been. The Bunkers' was so large due to staging purposes, obviously.

reply

I noticed that same thing too. The interior of the Stivic home definitely seemed smaller as if it was the interior of an apartment than a house if you don't include the staircase, but then Barney's house in season 9's Barney The Gold Digger was the exact duplicate interior of the Stivic home...

reply

That's a more realistic setup than the Bunker house.

reply

Semantics, guys. Semantics.

reply

You needed a set that took up a whole stage, obviously why the Bunker interior is so exaggerated.

reply

Set change often happens.
