I hate Norman Lear's guts, okay? I don't see how anyone could call a show about a toilet-mouthed imbecile, his dingbat wife, their selfish daughter, and a dead-brained meathead son-in law an immortal classic! The only thing immortal about that excrement is the eternal doom God will send those evil writers and producers. The Jeffersons are just a little bit better than that other piece of filth--but that doesn't mean it's a great show. Sure, Harold Bentley(Paul Benedict) was my favorite character, and when George ranted and raved about "honkies", that was oddly amusing. In one episode, Louise(Isabel Sanford) hit George(Sherman Hemsley) upstyle with a pillow. I laughed myself speechless. They were indeed moving on up with the slapstick and the non-mature, non-threatening humor. But leave it to the evil writers to cuss away the fun and the charm of this show. If they had moral values instead of dollar signs for eyes, they would have realized that real good taste has no place for swearing. Darn those imbeciles to heck! Sherman, Isabel and Paul are great actors who starred in greater future shows and specials, so they shouldn't be too disappointed if I decide that this show was a big, overrated letdown. They finally got a pie of the pie---WELL, I HATE PIE!!!!
