Why It Crackles

Show Details

George Jefferson was not afraid to take on the man and call him a honky to his face.

- The picture on the Jeffersons' desk by the telephone changes in every episode. It alternates between shots of Louise, George, Lionel, and Mother Jefferson.

- Marla Gibbs was given her own spin-off, "Checking In" (1981), 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.

Romance is in the air. Or maybe that’s mutual disgust. In any event, old Mother Jefferson has found herself a man, and the two are planning on marriage. George isn’t too happy about the arrangement and lacks the tact to keep that thought to himself.
