Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Good characters, writing and funny. It portrayed George as usually wrong in his prejudiced views. It was not offensive but shoewed a flawed character in a funny light.

I don't which is better out of Good Times, this show or Sanford and Son. This is I believe another good black show. I don't the "H" word means (the one George uses to describe Tom Willis) but other than that I like it. It does remind me of All in the Family. George as the black Archie Bunker, Louise as the black Edith Bunker, Lionel as the black Mike and Jenny as the black Gloria. I especially like Olivia "Mother" Jefferson, she's real funny yet mean to her daughter-in-law. But I think as well that George is the second funniest of the bunch, all though crabby and petite he makes people laugh. Bentley is also funny cuz he's English and he gets massages from George. This is a good sitcom so turn on TVland at 11:30, watch it, get a load of laughs and if you like it, buy it on DVD.

Isn't it weird that George Jefferson is supposed to be a wealthy man who owns 13 dry-cleaning stores.... however his apartment is no where near as nice or large as "Frasiers" (a radio talk-show host) or the "Friends" apartment. In fact, the Jefferson's apartment is really small and cheap looking. A burlap couch... the dining room is connected to the living room (of course so is Frasier's)... aluminum sliding glass doors.But someone who is "Moving on up" and owns 13 stores would have something nicer than this wouldn't they? All I am saying is, the Jefferson's apartment looks kind of "working class" to me.

A year short of its 30th (pearl) anniversary, The Jeffersons will be remembered for continuing the tradition of groundbreaking that was started by the show that started it all , All in the Family, from which, lest you forget, The Jeffersons is a spin-off.Yes, George Jefferson is somewhat like Archie Bunker, opinionated to the point of sometimes being rude but never at a loss for words.Chances are the characters of the Willises were inspired by the All in the Family episode 'Lionel Steps Out', in which he did so with Archie Bunker's visiting niece -- I had the experience of seeing that episode and then and there sensed that change was in the wind.It is noted that Ja'Net DuBois sang theme, but few people mention that she actually CO-WROTE the theme. Just goes to show you that show business is a thinking person's business.Happy 30th anniversary to the Jeffersons, albeit one year early!!
