The Jeffersons

Jealous over the success of a competitor's advertising scheme, George Jefferson jumps on the bicentennial bandwagon by claiming to be the great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson.

George can hardly stand Florence once a week, so when Louise hires her as a "live-in" maid, it really hits the fan.

Lionel's principles could cost him his job and the respect of his father when he is strapped to a lie detector on his first day at work.

George's embarrassment at never having finished high school becomes devastating humiliation when he thinks his college-grad son is ashamed of him. To try to cover up his old man's lack of schooling, Lionel has gone overboard and told his highly educated colleagues at work that George is a graduate of Harvard.

George is caught between gratitude and greed when he has a chance to sell his business for a fortune, but it will mean selling out one of his oldest friends, too.

Tom's quick thinking saves George's life, but George's gratitude soon turns sour when he realizes it means being in Tom's debt...forever!

Jenny is experiencing pre-marital jitters and is questioning whether or not she really loves Lionel.

George's suggestion of a prenuptial agreement creates turmoil between Jenny and Lionel -- and George is loving every minute of it.

Furious when the Jeffersons forbid her to entertain her boyfriend overnight, Florence quits her job -- much to the distress of Louise and the delight of George.

Louise takes a course to improve her memory, Florence takes a course in Judo, and between the two of them they almost wipe George out.

Harry Bentley takes George's advice in order to solve a problem and winds up in jail.

Louise talks the hardworking George into finding a hobby for relaxation, but the hobby he chooses leaves them both nervous wrecks.

Louise can't believe what she's seeing and Florence can't believe what is happening to her when George holds a reunion of his street gang and starts acting like a kid again.

The trouble with being a mother-in-law is that you start acting like one -- that's the lesson Louise learns the hard way when she and Jenny start fighting over Lionel.

The Willises' formula for an improved marriage almost ruins the Jeffersons'.

A little "oo-la-la" turns into "no you don't" when George finds out Louise's new friend is a man.

Is it right for a newlywed to leave her husband and go to England for three months? Jenny says yes; Lionel says no!

George is forced to wait hand and foot on his maid and his doorman in order to save a big business deal.

Mother Jefferson stirs up trouble when she invites one of George's old girlfriends to the house for dinner, and George soon finds out there are still some sparks in the old flame.
