"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

No. No he wasn't.

I have to agree that was pretty damn good for a sitcom. Actually wasn't even a bad sitcom premise, and was semi enjoyable to a white middle class kid in the 80s/90s. What a theme song and what a strut... shaking hands, jumping rope, dude did it all.

When I heard the news I was like

If I had only been told this happened, I wouldn't have believed it.

Excerpt from a member of the band "Gong" (I just heard snippets from a few songs ... you're not missing anything kids):

“It was 1978 or 1979, and Sherman Hemsley kept ringing me up. I didn’t know him from a bar of soap because we didn’t have television in Spain (where I was living). He called me from Hollywood saying, ‘I’m one of your biggest fans and I’m going to fly you here and put flying teapots all up and down the Sunset Strip.’ I thought, ‘This guy is a lunatic.’ He kept it up so I said, ‘Listen, can you get us tickets to L.A. via Jamaica? I want to go there to make a reggae track and have a honeymoon with my new girlfriend.’ He said, ‘Sure! I’ll get you two tickets.’

I thought, ‘Well, even if he’s a nut case at least he’s coming up with the goodies.’ The tickets arrived and we had this great honeymoon in Jamaica. Then we caught the plane across to L.A. We had heard Sherman was a big star, but we didn’t know the details. Coming down the corridor from the plane, I see this black guy with a whole bunch of people running after him trying to get autographs. Anyway, we get into this stretch limousine with Sherman and immediately there’s a big joint being passed around. I say, ‘Sorry man, I don’t smoke.’ Sherman says, ‘You don’t smoke and you’re from Gong?’

Inside the front door of Sherman’s house was a sign saying, ‘Don’t answer the door because it might be the man.’ There were two Puerto Ricans that had a LSD laboratory in his basement, so they were really paranoid. They also had little crack/freebase depots on every floor.

George Jefferson had a drug lab in his basement! Really, would anyone here dare say that, even for a fleeting moment, such a concept ever flickered in their coconut? Sure as shit not me, sister. It's so funny, it's one of those things you don't actually laugh at, you just smile like an idiot off and on again for a time.

It's Hollywood. I don't buy it until I see the body.

Liked both the Jeffersons and Amen. Always found him to be funny playing a cranky guy.

KS, here's a little background on "Amen".

Wikipedia is quite the resource. Hope that helps.

And this claim is still wildly, wildly wrong.

Opinions are of course subjective, but I just think The Jeffersons was terribly unfunny. And trust me, I've seen more than enough of that show because of my damn mother.

Interestingly enough, that's the same reason I seen it.

Because of my mother? What were you doing there watching The Jefferson's at my mom's house?

Yep. I was there watching the Jefferson's, she throws one hell of a party, too bad she never invited you.
