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.
Sherman Hemsley is actually only 11 years older then Mike Evans. Hemsley is also 21 years younger then Isabel Sanford making her old enough to be BOTH their mother's! LOL!!
Isabel Sanford did not want to do a spin-off. She told producers that she was happy with her recurring role on _"All in the Family" (i971)_. When they told her that they were writing Louise Jefferson off of All in the Family, and moving the character to the Jeffersons with or without her, she decided to stay in the role.
@sierria64 He newscast til 1971-2004 his death. He earned himself a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Of that era he was one of the first African Amercians to do so.
I'm a Christian and one of the main things thats looked down on is religious people who are very old school that like to have a long list of rules and regulaions for people to follow. Funny thing is, in the Bible it says not to be that way. But the people who try and push all the rules pretend it's not there.
@MsL0vie: You shouldn't allow somebody like Buzz to make you leave the Church. Going to Church is about Praising and worshiping God for His bountiful Blessings. If you attended a Church that had many people in it like Buzz, then there's nothing wrong with leaving that Church and finding one that focuses on Praising and serving God, not beating people over the head with the Bible.
Melodiusrose, you're absolutely right! I'm a Reform Jew, and I don't fit with Orthodox Jews, because I'm a fun-loving, silly person who hates excessive restrictions.
Thankfully, my Reform synagogue is family-friendly and loves to "play!"
I'm related to a bunch of bible thumpers who claim they follow the bible but many of them are liars and thieves. There's only a handful of good people in my family and those are the ones I talk to. I can't stand bible thumpers.
Being a christian is about walking the walk not always talking the talk. U don't have flaunt verses of bible 2 get ur point across. God teaches us 2 be humble servants of his word. Aside from that the new maid Betty is the comic foil of the show by being super energetic about her job.
I glad Florence gave Buzz a piece of her mind. He tried 2 control Florence & use christianity 2 carry out his selfish deeds. Christianity is about loving god's people for who they are not forcing them to be something they not.
Used to watch this years ago however i hate this representative of being a christian, hey no!! and if Beauty was not important, God would've made everything ugly. As rightly said he knows the word but not what it means!! apart from that the jeffersons are hilarious
@1prettysoul I don't think so. I will be calling my partner of 10 years. thank you very much. He can perform the Heimlich on me. lol I have no need for religion.
Buzz is a faggot. When he told Florence to put away the Lingerie that was the giveaway. Like most of these bible thumpers, he's a closeted faggot hiding behind the bible and religion to cover his tracks. Great episode in so far as it was more than 20 years ahead of its time exposing fundamentalist hypocrites for what they are.
I respect you being an Atheist, but why spend so much time and energy ranting about what you don't believe in. Moverover, Albert Enstein said that the root of ignorance is saying something is not true, but not challenging it's validity. It a scientific and sensible approach to discovering the truth about anything. People are afraid of what is possibly true and show it by anger and denial.
I love that scene where the maid rushes up to the sofa and grabs the discarded gift wrapping paper. haha. I had to rewind that a couple of times because the most unexpected moments or situations are the funniest in my opinion. :)
Buzz is a smuck, no this no that. Being sexiest to women, What a jack ass. Also knocking religions such as Hinduism, if the smuck was a true believer in Catholic faith or Christianity he would know God gave us free will, he loves us that much.
@NerdForMIT People like Buzz ARE the reason I came to my wits and became an atheist. And I am glad I don't need a god to make me feel good about myself or feel fulfilled. Whether it be christians or muslims or jews, they ALL think they know the true way and that anyone else who doesn't believe should receive the death penalty (islam) or shunned (christians). Sick religions with their sick ignorant ways. Phooey to all of them. I never knew a religion that was harmless.
@cjs33139 But why leave it up to people like Buzz? :) As a Christian myself, one of the things I've said to many others is that the victory in Christ is yours, and it's never someone else's call on when you receive it.
@cjs33139 they are sick to you. just like Buzz you dont understand the words. Moreover if your going to judge then judge the people not their faith because just like Buzz they know of the scriptures but they are still trying to understand what they mean.
cjs33139, I have nothing against your decision to become an atheist, but I NEVER stopped practicing Reform Judaism because of Ultra-Orthodox fanatics. Some people simply have distorted views on how religion should be practiced, and Buzz Thatcher was a perfect example of that?
That Buzz guy pissed me off so much when he stated how a woman's place is in the home and all that 'don't correct me in front of other people' nonsense. - liked the jeffersons ep - would love to see more
People correct each other in front of each other all the time! Buzz was a mailman and they may not make enough money to support a family, and he didn't want Florence's help in saving money for a house. Marriage is a partnership, NOT a dictatorship!
The other maid also played in "Claudine" and "That's my Momma". I wonder whatever happened to her acting career? BTW: That Buz is a tight butt idiot. I would of slapped him with the "Word". He was so ignorant in the knowledge and teaching of "Christ". He was a talking, but didn't really live the truth. Marriage is partnership two people work side by side. Agreeing on one accord. He was more of a control freak.Taking advantage of Florence vulnerability of her not finding a mate at her age.
I agree, Norman Lear and his associates were liberals, because liberals were the ones most interested in writing sit-coms at that time. It was also a time when blacks still faced a lot of discrimination, so it was understandable that ppeople would write about that.
However, if you want to write your own sit-com explaining why you believe white business men should only hire whites, you're free to do so.
I don't find that to be true at all. George is ridiculed for his prejudice against his white neighbor just as Archie Bunker is ridiculed for his prejudices against blacks.
That's not quite true, you see when people get to a point like Buzz that to be a Christian, in this case, that you can do no wrong, can't handle a different viewpoint, can't understand that learning the Bible is a lifetime of study, or simply just agree to disagree, that is where you learn NOT to be like. I've discussed with people whose beliefs are different than mine, not to believe as they do, but to understand WHY they believe in what they believe. People like Buzz don't do that.
I agree. Buzz only watched Christian TV, Christian movies, listened to Christian music on the radio, and only accepted Christian gifts, and he didn't dance. Louise told George he wasn't "normal" and I agreed!
@LisaK7100 Well his main problem was that he has what I call a "Caiaphas spirit". He, like some others who happen to be on YT, think that learning God's Word is about triying to find others who "aren't doing their Christanity right", can't tell them anything. Just a "I'm right, you're wrong attitude, you ain't nothing but a backslider blah, blah, blah. There are a LOT of "Buzz Thatchers" unfortunately.
Tsuruta1, I agree with you 100%! Buzz tried to change Florence and make her over, and you can't do that . If Buzz was smart, he would have tried to find himself a FEMALE Bible-thumper!
My point exactly, usually those like Buzz even forget words like salvation, compassion, repentance, forgiveness. Just a "you aren't doing your Christianity right" attitude.
doolisgreat, I'm Jewish myself, and you're referring to ORTHODOX Jews. They do everything by the book and don't consider other Jews Jewish because they don't do things their way. I practice Reform Judaism, the most lenient branch, and it frustrates me that so many religious people are so intolerant of how other people live their private lives.
What makes it so bad, is that there are people who are just like Buzz, some are right here on YouTube with their pages, and if you don't agree with their view on Scripture, your wrong. And if you do, they "like" you.
Tsuruta thanks for sending me this video. I haven't watched this in years. Yes Buzz does describe some of the Christians here (the so-called more "popular" ones! They are walking know-it-alls and you can't tell them NOTHING! It's sad.
They argue with atheists, argue with Christians - they are simply PATHETIC! In their arguing they have no true discernment and don't know when to let things go! I'm careful about who I befriend here.
The screenwriting had a liberal slant. It made anyone (whether Jewish or Christian) who turns to the Scriptures for the answers look like a hypocrite and sexually repressed. The reality, is: anyone who is religious and spiritual would not be "hung up" about such a negligee that his WIFE would be wearing on their wedding night. That's silly!
ndgermanrussian, you're right. Anyone who's about to throw a fit over a bridal nightgown is really stupid! That's how brides dress on the honeymoon! When you're in the privacy of your bedroom, you're sharing yourself with the person you love. Unlike Buzz, I always believed marriage was mind, body, and spirit, NOT "covering up"!
she just dont know the man she was about to marry was telling the truth, that picture he had a problem with didnt want to hang up was a picture of the white jesus. if u paid attention she showed not much interest in god but claimed to be holy, she wasnt virtuous, he knew wat the words meant it was she that didnt, she didnt even seem that interested in God to be holy like she claimed, last time i check God is holy and rightous.
thesassiest, White Jesus? That was a Hindu picture! Even though Florence was not a religious fanatic, she did go to church and had a better understanding of God's words.
LOL well im not a exert of the holy bible but if i get teh idea right the bible isnt a life leader (its a book to help u conect to the god and still hold ur lust for joy of life and love for god for he will forgive you anything no matter what if u really bring in love to the world not make the holy bible from its initual(love book of life) turn it to some (rules of life) thing thats crazy XD
I'm a conservative baptist African-American man and I was saddened to hear the way Buzz was using the bible. I don't think any of the script writers knew what the bible said. It just seemed like they were picking on conservative Christians to me. Don't get me wrong, I loved watching the Jeffersons as a kid. But this scene was over the top.
I used to watch this show religiously (no pun intended) as a child and happened to run across this episode just now. Loved it! But I disagree that they were picking on conservative Christians. They were picking on FUNDAMENTALIST christians who misconstrue the bible and use it to push their agendas and keep women in the kitchen, etc. This episode ran in the 70s when women's lib, gay lib,etc was starting to happen, and christians were up in arms about the decline of "morals" in America.
bigoted views? I was raised a Christan sir/madame, and am good friends with a Muslim family. I know religious extremism when I see it. There isn't one shread of bigotry in me. If there was, would I be watching a show like "The Jeffersons"? Why do I have a feeling that you condone Christian extremism? By the way, as I white guy, I will say that white bigotry has every right to be bashed. Jim Crow applied to blacks, not whites.
Great episode! Proof that Christian extremism is similar to Muslim extremism. The only difference is he didn't strap bombs on his body and blow everyone else up. What Florence said about "knowing all the words, but not living them" is 100% true. Amen.
Their's a guy on utube that thinks just like Buzz (NO JOKE), username: (exposingthecults) his current channel. To hear his views about women, type: (Mrpleasantpreacher-sexist) in the search bar, it will be under (pokerslut530). I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL LAFF YOUR ASS OFF XD, ENJOY.

LarnConner, I wasn't exactly a "TV Zombie" but I went through 3 different periods:
1. Nothing but TV - I was trying to learn what TV was all about
2. On-and-off TV - Whether or not I watched TV depended on what was in the TV Guide
3. No TV - This happened for 8 weeks at overnight camp, and when I went to far away places
Since "decent" programming exists, you might want to consider watching family-friendly TV only.

Just a "I'm right, you're wrong attitude, you ain't nothing but a backslider blah, blah, blah. There are a LOT of "Buzz Thatchers" unfortunately.

Tsuruta1, I agree with you 100%! Buzz tried to change Florence and make her over, and you can't do that . If Buzz was smart, he would have tried to find himself a FEMALE Bible-thumper!

@LisaK7100 That would be his only choice. :) But I for one, couldn't be around the both of them. I'd get a headache.

My point exactly, usually those like Buzz even forget words like salvation, compassion, repentance, forgiveness. Just a "you aren't doing your Christianity right" attitude.

doolisgreat, I'm Jewish myself, and you're referring to ORTHODOX Jews. They do everything by the book and don't consider other Jews Jewish because they don't do things their way. I practice Reform Judaism, the most lenient branch, and it frustrates me that so many religious people are so intolerant of how other people live their private lives.
LisaK7100 1 year ago
What makes it so bad, is that there are people who are just like Buzz, some are right here on YouTube with their pages, and if you don't agree with their view on Scripture, your wrong. And if you do, they "like" you.
Tsuruta1 2 years ago 4
Tsuruta thanks for sending me this video. I haven't watched this in years. Yes Buzz does describe some of the Christians here (the so-called more "popular" ones! They are walking know-it-alls and you can't tell them NOTHING! It's sad.
They argue with atheists, argue with Christians - they are simply PATHETIC! In their arguing they have no true discernment and don't know when to let things go! I'm careful about who I befriend here.
I think they lost sight of why they are here!

The screenwriting had a liberal slant. It made anyone (whether Jewish or Christian) who turns to the Scriptures for the answers look like a hypocrite and sexually repressed. The reality, is: anyone who is religious and spiritual would not be "hung up" about such a negligee that his WIFE would be wearing on their wedding night. That's silly!

Many Fundamentalists believe that sex should only be used for procreation, and that it is a sin to enjoy sex.

LisaK7100 1 year ago
Buzz clearly didn't know it was a bridal nightgown, and I believe he considered nudity sinful, too!
LisaK7100 1 year ago
ndgermanrussian, you're right. Anyone who's about to throw a fit over a bridal nightgown is really stupid! That's how brides dress on the honeymoon! When you're in the privacy of your bedroom, you're sharing yourself with the person you love. Unlike Buzz, I always believed marriage was mind, body, and spirit, NOT "covering up"!

Wow, I love that part 5:32 and 5:37 where Buzz says the engagement is off and Florence yells hot damn

she just dont know the man she was about to marry was telling the truth, that picture he had a problem with didnt want to hang up was a picture of the white jesus. if u paid attention she showed not much interest in god but claimed to be holy, she wasnt virtuous, he knew wat the words meant it was she that didnt, she didnt even seem that interested in God to be holy like she claimed, last time i check God is holy and rightous.

I'm a conservative baptist African-American man and I was saddened to hear the way Buzz was using the bible. I don't think any of the script writers knew what the bible said. It just seemed like they were picking on conservative Christians to me. Don't get me wrong, I loved watching the Jeffersons as a kid. But this scene was over the top.
irvinetustin 3 years ago
I used to watch this show religiously (no pun intended) as a child and happened to run across this episode just now. Loved it! But I disagree that they were picking on conservative Christians. They were picking on FUNDAMENTALIST christians who misconstrue the bible and use it to push their agendas and keep women in the kitchen, etc. This episode ran in the 70s when women's lib, gay lib,etc was starting to happen, and christians were up in arms about the decline of "morals" in America.

bigoted views? I was raised a Christan sir/madame, and am good friends with a Muslim family. I know religious extremism when I see it. There isn't one shread of bigotry in me. If there was, would I be watching a show like "The Jeffersons"? Why do I have a feeling that you condone Christian extremism? By the way, as I white guy, I will say that white bigotry has every right to be bashed. Jim Crow applied to blacks, not whites.

Great episode! Proof that Christian extremism is similar to Muslim extremism. The only difference is he didn't strap bombs on his body and blow everyone else up. What Florence said about "knowing all the words, but not living them" is 100% true. Amen.
