5.0 out of 5 stars Isabel and Sherman move on up to higher Nielsen ratings!, February 14, 2005

This review is from: The Jeffersons - The Complete Third Season (DVD)

No changes within the cast yet. One highlight from this season was when Lionel Jefferson(Damon Evans) and Jenny Willis(Belinda Tolbert) became husband and wife. This episode first aired in December 1976. DE joined the Jeffersons cast in the summer of 1975 after Mike Evans,who played Lionel originally,left to produce another CBS sitcom,Good Times,which he had co-created. ME would return for the seventh season in 1980. Olivia Jefferson,George's mother still frequently visited George(Sherman Hemsley) and Louise(Isabel Sanford). Marla Gibbs is now officially a Jeffersons cast member as Florence Johnston,the Jeffersons' wise-cracking no-nonsense maid. She even guest-starred in the series premiere episode. We still hear "honky" and "zebra" coming out of George's mouth. The "honkies" are the Jeffersons' neighbor Tom Willis(Franklin Cover),their next door neighbor Harry Bentley(Paul Benedict),doorman Ralph Hart(Ned Wertimer in a recurring role) and bank President H.W. Whittendale who is also the Jeffersons',the Willises and Harry's landlord. The "zebra" is Jenny,who's half-caucasian on her father Tom's side and half-negro on her mother Helen's(Tom's wife played by the late Roxie Roker) side. Sadly,Sanford passed away on July 9,2004 at age 86 of complications from pneumonia. She was hospitalized five days earlier. Several months earlier,she received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. So I dedicate this item to the memory of Sanford.

This review is from: The Jeffersons - The Complete Third Season (DVD)

I can't believe how long Columbia took to release season three, considering the great response seasons one and two recieved. Needless to say I could hardly wait to add season three to my collection. It had some of the best episodes, like when Tom and Helen make an attempt to improve Louise and George's marriage. Sherman Hemsley's comedic timing was priceless! I just loved the way he would express his continued dislike toward the Willises, despite Lionel and Jenny being married. I'm sure alot of people would love to be able to openly insult their in-laws and get away with it!!!
Thank goodness the episodes are crisp and have excellent sound quality. My only complaint is there are no extras. It would have been nice to see an on camera tribute to Isabel Sanford from surviving cast members and Norman Lear. Oh well, I guess I should be greatful to finally get the dvd.
COLUMBIA TRISTAR PLEASE DONT TAKE TOO LONG RELEASING SEASON FOUR!!!! I'd like to see the episode when Gary Coleman guest stars as George's nefew from hell.
