nice time that Mother Jefferson lived to see Lionel married.


It was nice that for about a year Louise had the chance to be a daughter in law to Mother Jefferson and mother in law to Jenny. In the episode Lionel was sick

That was Damon Evans right?

yeah. I like in season one how Mike Eveans Lionel had great interaction with Mother Jefferson.

reply

Yeah, she wasn't at the Christmas wedding, I didn't like that. But maybe the actress was sick. Remember, in this one, she is in a wheelchair. I wonder if it was due to poor health?
What I did like in this episode, was that Louise at first thought she should take care of Lionel since he is feverish but then realizes after the incident with MJ that no, she has to let go. However, I think Lionel should've just stayed there since he could just stay in his room with Jenny there. Why bother to go home if his temperature is 101? In fact, how could he stand up?

reply

Maybe that would have worked. It was sad when Mike Evans came back, Mother Jefferson had died.

I remember one episode Mike Evans was with mother Jefferson when he said "the jujubees you always get me" when MJ takes him to Coney island. Other than that I think only Damon Evans acted in the other episodes with MJ.

In the second Episode Lionel opens the door when Mother Jefferson comes to the door, in the fourth episode she straightens him out when he becomes a playboy, and in episode 13 he tries to help with her crossword puzzle.

I liked the first Lionel better anyway

Mike Evans appeared with her in the first season. There was also a moment when she was going to hit him and he stopped her and hugged her because he had already been slapped by two women and he realized he had been behaving stupidly.

I wonder if Mike Evans went to her funeral?
