(More customer reviews)Wow! I feel like a little kid at Xmas time, with the long awaited release of Maude on March 20th, a six season release of All in the Family Feb. 13th, and another installment of The Jeffersons!!! Thank you Sony!!! Eventhough I'm thankful to see The Jeffersons being released, it would be nice if there was some kind of tribute or rememberance of cast members who are no longer with us, which include Roxie Roker, Franklin Cover, Isabel Sanford, and Mike Evans. I was looking at an episode of All in the Family today on dvd (The one when George and Louise move on up), and it was kind of sad to realize that more than half of the original cast of the Jeffersons is gone, along with Mother Jefferson.
Unfortunately, most shows from the 70's don't get the royal treatment with dvd extras like current tv shows. It just seems like the studios just don't care enough to take the time to include the actors, who are a major part of the shows success. I'm sure Sherman Hemsley, Marla Gibbs, Paul Benedict, and Belinda Tolbert would love to share their stories of being apart of a sitcom classic!!! Oh well, I guess I'll just be grateful to even get The Jeffersons and All in the Family on dvd!

The Jeffersons was a breakthrough series – the first television show to feature a well-to-do African American family living in luxury. In its sixth season, the show remained fresh thanks to the unconventional wit of series developer Norman Lear (TV’s "All in the Family" and "Good Times") and its very popular characters including loud-mouthed George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley), his long-suffering wife Louise (Isabel Sanford), and their wise-cracking maid Florence (Marla Gibbs).Highlights this season include the two-part "The Arrival," where Lionel (Mike Evans), returning to the role he originated) and wife Jenny (Berlinda Tolbert) welcome baby Jessica (leave it to George to worry about the color of the baby) and the "Brother Tom," where George teaches Tom Willis (Franklin Cover) how to act black in order to impress his wife Helen (Roxie Roker). A landmark of classic TV, the sixth season of The Jeffersons tackled taboos while delivering the biggest laughs ever.
