Summary: The **BEST** Show Ever Made!!
Review: "The Jeffersons" is the *BEST* show that was ever made. Sherman Hemsley (George Jefferson) and Marla Gibbs (Florence Johnston) is what made "The Jeffersons" such a hit in my opinion. Sherman Hemsley and Marla Gibbs are so funny. Marla Gibbs is fantastic as The Jeffersons wise cracking maid. Florence and George can't stand each other, which is one reason why they are so funny. The rest of the cast is also terrific. I can't wait untill The Complete Second Season comes out on DVD. I hope that all seasons of "The Jeffersons" come out on DVD. George Jefferson is my idol.

Memorable Line From Season Two:

Florence is talking to George: "Ask me how I got to work this morning."

George: "I know how you got to work. You flew over on your broom!"

To understand why the quote above is so funny you need to watch the show. In other words this show is a *CLASSIC* they don't make shows like this any more.

Summary: THE JEFFERSONS- THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON
Review: A TRUE CLASSIC!!! ALL THE CHARACTERS ADDED TO THE SHOWS POPULARITY. VERY ENTERTAINING AND ALWAYS FUNNY. ONE OF THE BEST!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 24 BOMB EPISODES!
Review: Along with I love Lucy, Strangers with Candy, Buffy, The Golden Girls and Charlie's Angels, I think the Jeffersons is also counted in on my top 10 favorite TV SHOWS. How funny are these people? Seriously, hours and hours of fun on 3 discs for just ...? Yes, for $... with your suncoast replay card, you can have all 24 episodes on this great box set. Definitely worth the money, and every episode is very good. Although Strangers with Candy has always basically been my favorite show ever (along with the Golden Girls), this 70'S SITCOM IS also close to me and I really like it.GEORGE AND WEEZY BE MOVIN' ON UP-YO!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Definatly worth the money
Review: First of all, this season is better than the first. And for 1 buck an episode is a pretty good price. This season is probably one of the best. it has great sound and video quality, If you buy this I don't think you will be dissapointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just about my favorite season of this great show.
Review: For a show that ran for more than a decade this is just about my favorite season. It's basically a toss up between the first three season. Rarely have I laughed as hard as when I watched "George meets Whittendale". When Tom said he had to use the bathroom I almost used it myself. "Lunch with Mama" had me rolling in laughter as well. "The Break Up (parts 1 & 2) is a favorite of mine as well. Some people complained about the change in actors for Lionel Jefferson. I like the way Mike Evans portrayed the character but also thought Damon Evans (No relation to Mike Evans) did a great job. In some ways I like Damon's portrayal better. This show was never the same after Mama Jefferson died.

The DVD package was still underdeveloped. No extras at all. There are still enough of the original cast around to make a good documentary. One improvement over the first season release of THE JEFFERSONS is the option to play the episodes back to back. It is so much nicer when you can just watch episode after episode without being returned to the main menu to select each episode. I should also mention that the DVD producers must not be fans of the show. The packaging, for both seasons 1 & 2, contain stock photos from various episodes over the shows eleven seasons. In fact the front covers are all wrong. They have photshoped the images of George and Louise together from different years of the show. For example, the picture of Louise on the cover is taken from a photo that probably was taken 7 to 10 years after the 75-76 season. The photo of George was probably taken within a year or two of the 75-76 season. Anyway, this may not be a big concern, especially to the casual fan, but I find this kind of slaped together DVD packaging somewhat insulting to real fans of the show.

Summary: More of the black Archie Bunker
Review: Here are the episodes that aired between fall 1975 and spring 1976 on CBS. One that I loved was the two-part "The Break-Up",which is between the Jeffersons' son Lionel and Jenny,Tom and Helen Willis' daughter. ... The beauty of it is,Lionel and Jenny reconcile in part two. Also in that episode,the friendship between the Jeffersons and the Willises dissolves with their respective childrens' relationship. When Lionel and Jenny reconcile,the Jeffersons and the Willises become friends again. George does continue to refer to Tom,English neighbor Harry Bentley,landlord Mr. Whittendale(sorry,don't know his first name) and doorman Ralph Hart,occasionally seen as honkies. I think this is the season where Marla Gibbs joins the Jeffersons cast as Florence Johnston,the Jeffersons' maid. Also,Damon Evans resumes the role of Lionel,originally played by Mike Evans,who at this time served as a producer for Good Times which he had co-created. As for the Jeffersons' former residence,now occupied by Archie Bunker's daughter,Gloria Bunker Stivic and husband Mike, at this time they have become proud parents. The Jeffersons at this time were in the Nielsen Top 10.

Summary: finally..season 2!
Review: I have been waiting for this series to make it to DVD for a long time! Needless to say, I am not disappointed. It still is one of the greatest sit-coms ever made!
There really aren't any special features or extras, but still well worth it, if you're a fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great show...decent DVD set
Review: I have both season 1 & season 2 sets. The show is great as everyone says, but the DVD is kinda lacking. The good news is you get 24(as opposed to season one's 13) episodes from the second season(only seen a handful of episodes so far but Florence the Maid is more sassy like you remembered her, and there's a different Lionel, etc). The bad news is, no extras whatsoever(dissapointing) and in mono/fullscreen(which is to be expected for a 70's show). Bare bones DVD presentation, but if you really liked the show, that should be enough(again, 24 episodes!). Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
