| Summary |
George Jefferson is a wealthy and successful businessman in the dry-cleaning business who lives with his wife, Louise (Weezy), in a ritzy high-rise in New York City. The show also features the Jefferson's wise-cracking maid, Florence, and neighbors Tom and Helen Willis and Harry Bentley. In this season, George is bitten by the dance bug and comes down with a case of disco fever, Louise gets an eyeful when she sketches a nude model in her drawing class, Florence receives a marriage proposal from a highly devout man, and things get uncomfortable when a broken heater forces Harry, Tom and Helen to spend the evening cramped up with the Jeffersons. |
