George Jefferson was a classic TV character. RIP, Sherman.

For some reason, I remember him more from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Obligatory "Moving on up" comment.

Now that we got that out of the way I am like Table 5, remember him more from his appearances on Fresh Prince (but that is probably an age thing).

74? I would've thought the dude was 90!

Some great scenes with him and Carroll O'Connor on All In The Family in the early 70's.

The Jefferson's was actually a spinoff of that show.

I didn't realize that Isabel Sanford was 21 years older than him. That's weird.


Move on up, George.
