Jefferson sitcom cast

So began each episode of The Jeffersons from its debut airing in until the last episode in , becoming one of the longest running sitcoms in TV history with a beloved cast of characters. Played by Sherman Hemsley , with Isabel Sanford as Louise, the sitcom tackled taboo subjects such as racism, gun control, alcoholism and more timely topics laced with humor. Lear had commented once that The Jeffersons presented positive role models in an authentic and non-preachy way. Louise was the level headed and open-minded woman of the household who often had to reprimand George when his mouth got him into trouble which was nearly every episode. Unfortunately, CBS never gave The Jeffersons a proper series send-off — In fact, Hemsley said he found out the show was cancelled by reading about it in the newspaper. Since the cast never got a chance to say goodbye, they reunited years later for a stage play based on the sitcom. Here, take a look at The Jeffersons cast after they said goodbye to their deluxe apartment in the sky. As one of only two people to appear in all episodes the other being Isabel Sanford , the Philadelphia native born Sherman Alexander Hemsley made the world laugh as the boisterous, wise cracking, yet kindhearted George Jefferson who loved his Weezy. He asked Isabel permission to call her Weezy and she said yes. Long before George and Weezy, Sherman played different characters in school plays. When he moved to New York City after serving in the Air Force, he worked the graveyard shift as a postal clerk, acting and auditioning during the day.

Much like they had done with Archie on "All in the Family," Lear and his writers used George as a blunt, hilarious, often wrongheaded tool for addressing the social and political debates of the day. The groundbreaking series included an interracial couple the Jeffersons' in-laws Tom and Helen Willis, played by Franklin Covey and Roxie Roker in its main cast of characters and regularly tackled issues of race, class, sex, and gender for more than episodes. More than 35 years after it went off the air, "The Jeffersons" remains one of the best-remembered sitcoms of its era, with one of the greatest theme songs in television history. Many of its main cast, however, have unfortunately passed away. Fortunately, there are more than a few memorable "Jeffersons" faces still with us, some continuing to make great work on stage and screen.
