[WarRogers]

Sherman Hemsley is a National Treasure

[bestiscc]

One of the best of the best!! George Jefferson & Deacon Ernest J. Frye he created and developed to a tee!!

[RYN988]

A great man.

[Nostalgico80]

@WarRogers I'm sincerely envious of such National Treasures like Mr Hemsley or Mr O' Connor.

Cont'd: "colored" family moves by Bunker. All VERY funny;

*Character Name: GEORGE JEFFERSON *S.O.? "The Jeffersons". Edith Bunker dies of stroke :( Archie makes "clean start":

*Character Name: "Archie Bunker" *S.O.?: "Archie's Place" Daughter "Gloria" gets divorced-- so(?)

*Character Name: "Gloria S.O: "Gloria!" & -.- The "Jeffersons" maid gets plum job as swanky Hotel's " Exec. Manager". Very UNfunny; but:

*Character Name: "Florence Johnston" S.O: "Checking In." Whew!

@wondermanu1975 Me too... I love me some George Jefferson. Sherman Hemsley will always be known to me as George. I remember when I was 5 yrs old back in "75"... and the Jeffersons just aired on Tv. It was a kid in my old neighborhood in Ohio, who use to idolize George so much that he use to bop like George whenever he walked... we use to call him George Jefferson. lol!
