Marla Gibbs was given her own spin-off, Checking In, where Florence went to work as an executive at a hotel. As a precaution in case the show failed, Gibbs would be allowed to return to "The Jeffersons". Roseanna Christiansen was hired as Florence's replacement, Carmen. When the spin-off was canceled after four episodes, Gibbs returned to the show.
Several CBS executives tried to get the interracial kiss between Tom and Helen Willis edited out, but executive producer Fred Silverman successfully lobbied to keep it in.
Sherman Hemsley is only 11 years older then Mike Evans. Hemsley is also 21 years younger than Isabel Sanford, making her old enough to be the mother to BOTH of them! LOL!
When the show first started George constantly referred to Tom as a honky. After a few seasons Sherman Hemsley asked the writers to stop having George call him that, as he felt that the characters were friends and he felt George would not use a racist term on a friend. When the writers refused to stop Hemsley simply mumbled the the word every time he said it, forcing re-shoots. Eventually the writers stopped using the word.
CBS never gave "The Jeffersons" a proper series finale. The cast, bitter that they never got a chance to say goodbye, reunited years later for a stage play based on the sitcom. Sherman Hemsley said he found out the show was canceled by reading it in the paper. Isabel Sanford found out when her sister phoned after reading about the cancellation in the trade magazine.
The picture on the Jeffersons' desk by the telephone changes in every episode. It alternates between shots of Louise, George, Lionel, and Mother Jefferson.
Louise's jealousy has blinded and deafened her. She didn't even hear the secretary say that George talks about his wife all the time. Poor George, after 30 years his wife is still so insecure that she doesn't trust him even though he has never cheated on her. George should've dumped that freeloading, insecure, hypocritical nag years ago. He works himself silly and all she does is sit on her fat as and complain.
Renee Jones was DAMN fine back in the days, and what's crazy is that she's just as fine if not finer now. I mean she's 52 now, yet she doesn't look a day over 30. That phrase "Black don't crack" couldn't be more right.
I would love a secretary like Stephanie.

When Mike Evans left the show for a second time, his absence was explained by having Lionel and Jenny separate and eventually divorce.

That is the only bad thing about "The Jeffersons". The Network have never gave them the chance to gave them the chance to say goodbye to the fan.

She's like a black Betty Boop! Skinny too....
Alternate universe code: if Betty Boop were black or mixed she'd be skinny as a rail like Stephanie instead of meaty like she always was.
She sounds like Betty Boop.
