How Much Do You Know About The Jeffersons?

George started dating his future wife, Louise, when they were teenagers. They married when he got out of the Navy.

During their time on "All in the Family," the Jeffersons lived next door to the Bunkers. In fact, George Jefferson and Archie Bunker were similar in their rude and opinionated​ behavior.

George was raised in Harlem. After his father died, he was forced to drop out of school to take care of his mother.

Louise was quite the opposite of George. Her calm demeanor balanced out his loud, over-the-top behavior.

When George was younger, he was involved in a rear-end​ collision. He received a settlement from the crash and started his first business.

The theme song to "The Jeffersons" discussed the family moving up in the world. In fact, the title of the song is "Movin' On Up."

George caught word that Jimmy Carter stayed at the homes of ordinary people. Excited at the opportunity, George made a call to the White House, but it didn't turn out as he intended. He was soon visited by members of the Secret Service, who weren't happy with him.

Before moving to Manhattan, the Jeffersons lived in a neighborhood in Queens. This is the same neighborhood they lived in while on "All in the Family."

Henry was a major character in "All in the Family." When "The Jeffersons" started, his character was put aside and rarely mentioned.

Before moving to Queens, George lived in Harlem with his wife. While there, he worked as a janitor.

Mike Evans played the role of Lionel Jefferson early in the series. However, his schedule forced the show to re-cast the part for several years before Mike Evans came back.

Florence Johnston was the Jeffersons' housekeeper. She was known for her sassy attitude.

After their wives left for a spa trip, George and Tom were bored. What do you do when you're bored? You try to break a record, so the two of them went up and down in an elevator over and over again.

Olivia appeared to be a nice old lady. However, she secretly made life a living hell for Louise.

George had a negative view towards interracial couples. He constantly let that view be known when talking about Helen and Tom.

Florence struggled to maintain a romantic relationship throughout her life. For that reason, she thought about committing​ suicide, but the Jeffersons talked her out of it.

Helen and George weren't known for liking one another. In fact, Helen often called George "shorty."

Tom was both an author and the president of Pelham Publishers. He was often made fun of for being overweight.

Louise was tired of her boring life living in a luxury apartment, so she applied for a job. Turns out, the person who hired her ran a rival dry cleaning business.

George doesn't care much for his family's history. That's until he learns that his ancestors might have been kings in Africa.

George was blackmailed by an old friend, Monk Davis, who showed up asking for money. Monk threatened to expose George's childhood secret if he wasn't paid.

Helen tried to keep the mugging a secret from Tom. She believed Tom would move the family out of New York City if she told him.

Olivia was ignored when she came to her son's house for a visit. To get some attention, she pretended to injure herself during a fall. That's one way to start a conversation.

Wendell and George were good friends in the navy. However, when Wendell came to visit, he had his eyes set on Louise, and George wasn't happy about it.

Harry was George's next door neighbor. He was known for telling stories about his childhood that no one was interested in.

Harry was known for showing up at the Jeffersons' front door, asking for something. Occasionally, he would ask George to walk across his back to help cure his back spasms.

Jenny was the second of Tom and Helen's two children. She had an older brother who was rarely around, causing their relationship to suffer.

Jenny was angry at her brother, Allan, because he was able to pass as a white person while she couldn't. When he returned, she wished he had stayed away.

Jenny and Lionel dated for years while Jenny attended college. George despised their relationship because Jenny was from a mixed family.

George needed a new manager after the old one quit. However, he refused to hire Emily Bates, who sought the position, because she was both a woman and white.

In Season 2, Lionel obtained his college degree in engineering. Near graduation, he stressed himself to the point that he developed a drinking problem.

Jenny's relationship with her brother, Allan, was eventually repaired after they reconciled. She even asked her brother to be Jessica's godfather. That's quite the honor.

Jenny went to Harlem to gather information for her thesis paper on street gangs. While in Harlem, she met a 12-year-old boy who was already an experienced gang member.

After being married for years, Lionel and Jenny decided they weren't meant for each other anymore. Once they make the announcement to the family, everyone started blaming each other.

Florence was heard singing gospel music by a supposed music producer. If she raised $1,200, he was willing to help her make a record. However, this didn't sit well with George, who thought she was being ripped off.
