My mom didn't like the character of Archie Bunker & the way he spoke to his wife. Plus she hated hearing Edith's whiney voice when she'd say "Charrrllliie" & that she was cast as an oblivious air-head. She wasn't much of a Jefferson's fan either since we lived in a rural area & they were city aprtmt

George was never verbally abusive and disrespectful to Weezy. While Archie was those things as well as ignorant. As a child watching the show it always made me sad. Cause I would think about all the women being treated like that in real life.

I loved both shows , all the sitcoms from Norm Lear in the 70’s were the best , that’s when TV was so funny we had real clean comedy ,I would laugh hysterically every night . I don’t even watch tv except for the news because it’s all boring , nothing is funny . Bring all these shows back please

It showed me what I lived in poverty. However, it showed me what I could become as a mixed raced child, raised by my white grandmother...god bless her soul.

I love The Jeffersons! George was funny and he didn't take any crap from anyone. At that time he put a lot of prejudice white people in there place. The woman who played his mother was funny. His house keeper Florence was just as hilarious as George. The theme song Moving On Up was the best ever!

A show about black people being successful was enough for me. I loved watching this show as a child!

I can recall growing up watching this show. A lot of laughter went on while watching it. Then when the Jeffersons came out we watched that too. Again, with a lot of laughter! And before everyone goes freaking out about All In The Family for having a racist character in it, so did The Jeffersons!

None of the other shows would have existed had their characters not been developed in this show. Plus Carol O'Connor, a lifelong liberal, did a masterful job portraying his bigoted big mouth character. And Edith! Jean Stapleton was a genius & she perfectly offset Archie. I still ❤️ this show!

It was the original! Jefferson spun off of "all in the family". I love both shows but all in the family touched on so many serious issues of the day. Really the first of its kind. Edith with the menopause, Gloria and Feminism. Mike with Social justice and "loveable" bigot Archie!.

I was a kid when it was on, but my parents - who were socially progressive for the times - watched it, and thus so did I. It was an education for me on the ways of society that I had yet to experience/observe for myself, I also enjoyed getting the same from his other shows as well!

Pasha and Ariana have come so far, you can see them leave it all on the dance floor every week with passion and take judges feedback with grace. The tears they shed together after finally receiving a perfect score was truly special. This really means so much to them.

Xochitl is amazing but Pasha truly deserves his chance to win this year and Ariana has been fierce every week despite injuries.

Ariana is a little older and dealing with back pain but yet she's a great dancer. The other girl is younger. No backache so you put those two together? Who's the better dancer? The one dealing with pain or the one that isn't? Ariana is much much better dancer!
