Created as a spin-off of Norman Lear’s revolutionary sitcom ALL IN THE FAMILY, THE JEFFERSONS ran on CBS-TV from 1975-83, with a run of over 250 episodes. The series details the comic exploits of short-tempered African-American dry-cleaning magnate George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley) and his sassy wife, Louise aka “Weezy” (Isabel Sanford) as they move from their blue-collar neighborhood to a deluxe apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This collection presents nine fan-favorite episodes: “George’s Best Friend,” “Jenny’s Grandparents,” “George’s Alibi,” “George and the Manager,” “Lunch with Mama,” “George vs. Wall Street,” “The Breakup – Part 1,” “The Breakup – Part 2,” and “Florence’s Problem.”
