It’s been forty years since the Jefferson’s came on T.V.

If it was, Leave it to Beaver or Mayberry R.F.D. it would be a commemoration.  The series lasted ten years a miracle in today’s T.V. series life years.  Think M.A.S.H which is still in re runs and DVD runs.

1n 1975 I never thought of being a writer.  I mean a journalist maybe but never a writer of fiction and non-fiction.

Mr. Bentley went to my alma mater I later learned.

Ginny is still with us thank God.

Weasy survived one out of seven children.

Let her be your role model. She became the first African American Actress to win a Comedy Emmy.

Then there was the introduction of Florence in season one

Mr. Jefferson at the door

Wait please.

……..

It took Viola Davis 40 years later to obtain an Emmy for Drama for a Black actress she waited a long time

to get her Emmy.

And I would wait forever in the hope that Denzel Washington would play Bart.  But I need 1 million in

sales for that.

As for the Jefferson’s while there has been no 4Oth anniversary DVD.  There have been several articles

and TV classics ran a marathon on Antenna TV.

If only they ran westerns on National TV.  Then Siolam could be made into a T.V. series.
