Simply put: UNFORGETTABLE!!!
28 December 2010
Another great TV series of my youth along with Good Times, Sanford and Sons, Silver Spoons and Different Strokes.

The film is about the Jefferson family who have risen up in the world from humble beginnings and move into a posh apartment.

George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley) has a chain of laundromats which he collects from them. Louise Jefferson is his wife and she looks after him and gives him good advice whenever it is necessary. She also is the LAST WORD for George when he gets overexcited. Their relationship can be classified as LOVE-HATE relationship. Their quarrels are hilarious since George is of a rude and arrogant nature, excitable, argues a lot over petty matters and prone to swearing. Louise is the more quiet and disciplined type and very TOLERANT.

Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs) is the maid in the Jefferson's apartment and she provides excellent comic relief when she frequently clashes with George.

There is an inter-racial couple Tom and Helen Willis (Tom is Caucasian and Helen is African-American). The Willis couple is an annoyance to George, whenever they visit him and this provides us with more comedy.

Harry Bentley, is a playboy Englishman who lives next door to the Jefferson's. He is another of George's hates and they clash whenever he comes over.

Well the series shows us day-to-day situations in the Jefferson household. Jam-packed with comedy and also instructive as well.

Buy this great series on DVD.
