Great visit, I could almost hear George complaining about all of us traipsing around his apartment!

Right, how cool.
😂 me too
WHY?
😂😂😂LMBO but honestly me too.
I love your channel, Marina. You brought the Jeffersons back to life. I loved that show and all the cast members. I wish they were all still with us.
Thank you. I wish they were all still here too!
Well isn't Marla Gibbs still alive?
@@frederickjones9017 Yes, she is. I reached out to her for this episode, hoping to get an interview, but didn't get a response. However, when the episode was over, I sent it to her representatives and they said they would get it to her 😊
I loved that show too. Still watch it every chance I get!
Marla Gibbs is still with us.
I really enjoyed that, so much fun! Loved the details including the picture of Billy Dee in Florence’s room. 👍😊🙏 thank you for making these!!
I had a lot of fun making this one 😊
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane new to your channel I really like this I just subscribe to your channel
@@lawrencecarr4973 Glad you found it!
Great touch
I love these videos. Any plans to do Three's Company? While their apartment is fairly obvious, there is also Larry's, the Ropers'/Mr. Furley's, the Regal Beagle, Jack's Bistro. These videos are so fun!
It's not on my current list, but you never know.
For trivia buffs, The Jefferson's apartment appears in an episode of Good Times where JJ moves in with what he thinks are just bookies but they turn out to be selling drugs also. JJ is skinny enough to hide in the kitchen's broom closet when the apartment is raided by the police. Although the furniture in the living room and dining room are different, there's no mistaking that distinctive Jefferson's kitchen with the handles in the middle of the cabinets.
Awesome! I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing.
The Sanford and Son set appears to be the same one used for What's Happenin'. Even the upstairs bedroom was the same!
@@michie826 Hmm. Can't wait to check that out. I love tips like this.
….and then there was me going immediately to find the snippets of Good Times to make comparisons then straight to Sanford and Son and What’s Happening l
I Said The Same Thing When I Saw That Episode On Good Times, I Was Like,THATS GEORGE And LOUISE Apartment They’re Using!!🤣🤣
Job well done! There was at least one episode that I remember where Florence and her new boyfriend were on the balcony where you saw the fourth wall in the background. I remember seeing a painting on the wall and a television, so you are right. :) The Jeffersons is my all-time favorite sitcom and my favorite TV set.
Thank you. Glad you liked the tour.

As a kid growing up in the 1990's and watching the reruns of this classic show with my parents, I always thought this apartment was more like a condo. It was beautiful and sharp the way it was presented and even today this particular interior setting would stand up. We lived in a "Brady Bunch" style home but I always admired the architecture of this time era.
I love when I hear about others that were noticing set design even as a kid. Im not alone 😊
OMG!!! You did your thing recreating this entire apartment look for the Jeffersons. Everything was on point, accurate & entertaining. That picture of Billy D Williams in Florence room #PRICELESS. Such a creative mind to help us visualize this home. I enjoyed to the fullest 👍🏾🤣
Thank you! These are the kinds of comments that keep me going. These tours are a labor of love for me, but it's so nice to hear others really enjoy them.

I love to watch that show when I was little. My favorite character was Florence. I also loved looking at the cool interiors from the late 70s to the early 80s. Maybe do another show 227
Florence had some of the best lines and her delivery was spot on.
The wall in the kitchen would definitely have a china cabinet on it where Weezy could display all of her gorgeous china! I grew up in the 70s the Jeffersons brings back so many fun memories love that show!
Oooo. That's a great idea.
Wouldn't the China Cabinet be better in the dining room?
China cabinets aren’t kept in kitchens. If they had one it would’ve been in the dining area.
This is officially the coolest ish Ive seen in the history of the Internet 🤣🙆🏾♀️👏🏾 The Jeffersons is my favorite sitcom of time and I always dreamed of living in a deluxe apartment like this one and sometimes with them lol. So this is so surreal to me. I never can imagine a extra door in the kitchen but other than that great job. Now I wanna see The Willis's apartment😁
So glad you liked the tour and that you found the channel. I'm finishing up the Home Alone house. It should be out by Saturday.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Im watching now!!! 😁
This was a great tour. I love the background on the actors too. You did a great job with those kitchen cabinets. They look eerily similar to our 1979 kitchen cabinets that we just got rid of last year about this time! 😅 Great job, I love these videos and can't wait to see more!
"Eerily similar" - 😊 I like that. And, thanks. Glad you're enjoying the tours.
The thoroughness on Florence's room is amazing.
The Billy D Williams photo in her bedroom was her finishing touch.
Definitely
I love the door in the kitchen. My mom's best friend had an apartment in Manhattan, and there was a service entrance in the kitchen through which delivery people could drop off groceries or caterers could enter and exit for parties, as the service elevator and stairs were just outside the door. Love your tours, Marina. This is my third one today!
Glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for the info on the service door.
I love watching your videos since it's really difficult sometimes to picture what these places would look like if they actually existed, especially since stage sets aren't laid out as they would be in real life. Nice detail with the Billy Dee pic in Florence's room!
Thanks. Glad you're enjoying these tours.
I loved the complexity of the hall, with its twists and varying width that allowed for furniture placement. It really gives the space interest.
When I finally had it all finished and took the camera down there nd turned around to come back down the hall, I think I let out a, "Wow!" It looked so much cooler than I pictured. And even though none of the actors ever had a hallway like that to walk down, I loved seeing what it would have looked like if it was real.
My Favorite Piece Of Furniture Was That Gorgeous Gold Bar Cart It Makes The Room!!!💯❤I Still Want It!!!😎🌴
@@cherriezontop567 Yes. Very nice.
Awesome job! I always loved their deluxe apartment in the sky. I too thought that shelf feature above their bed was so cool and always enjoyed looking at it illuminated at night during the opening intro when George is dancing around on top of the bed
Yes! The set designers went all out on that wall. And it would not be hard to add to an existing home. Very doable.
That is possibly why I tried to find a bed with that design. If you look at the furnishing in the early 1980’s, a lot of furniture stores emulate that feature.
I wonder why the set designers had Lionel's room as his and not Florence's? With the door to close off the 2 bedrooms it would have made sense for that area to be the family's private area.
Yeah. I agree. I wish they were still around to ask. I have so many questions.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane there has to be someone from the set crew still here to ask. Praise God Marla is still here. I have many questions as well. I don’t believe they would have had a laundry room considering the apartment wasn’t up on the penthouse floor as Mr Whittendale’s.
I think even Florence was known /seen going to the laundry room other than the times they had meetings in there.
@@birdie.b I messaged Marla on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, hoping to get an interview, but never heard back. I would have LOVED to hear her stories!
Agreed!
I love all the old shows and was always fascinated by the architecture and interior decor of the shows
Sounds like we share a similar passion
Your videos are amazing! You always blow me away showing the layouts of my favorite homes I grew up watching on tv (and still do) and dreamed I could live in. Thank you for all the nostalgic trips down memory lane.
I love hearing this. Thank you. I'm glad I'm not alone in my curiosity about these homes.
You should have your own docuseries on a streaming app. I'm so impressed by your videos!
Well, you made my day. Thank you 😊
Totally agree! This. Was. Awesome!👏👏🙌😊
Having her do a weekly show on HGTV would be a breath of fresh air.....
This wasn't just great, it was astonishing. Marina, all of your TV home tours have been wonderful, but it seems like you're getting more and more better with each one. I watched this on my smartphone at the market today, then came home and watched it on my 50" tv, it's just beautiful. I was going to say their apartment has a funky layout, when we look at it from above, but I live in a 100 unit high-rise comprised of studios one and two bedroom units and you would be surprised at the variety of layouts we have. Anyway, BIG thank you for this latest tour!! You're awesome! 🙂💖👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! And, thanks for the insight into the fact that high-rise apartments can have crazy layouts. 😊
Wow - Nostalgia is on 100 right now. As an 80's baby who grew up watching all these old shows at her grandmothers house🏡... ~Thank you~ 💖💜💖
Thank you! I always loved this show. I couldn't wait to see into that back hallway. We didn't get to see enough of this deluxe apartment.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes! That hallway!😍 The production on these videos is A-mazing. From the music, to your voice, to all the technicality & details.. Truly wonderful. Please keep 'em coming! ~Happy holidays!🎄
@@MsAdreaL Glad you like the tours.
Beautifully done Marina! Your voice, the in-depth demo and the walk-through of the apartment brought back so many wonderful childhood memories. It was so nice to see the "missing" parts of the apartment we weren't shown on TV.. I have a full picture of what it looks like now! Thanks for this!
Thank you! So good to hear.
I always figured that back door of the kitchen led to a service area, including an elevator. You mention stairs, but I find it hard to believe such a deluxe apartment would make someone carry groceries through the entire length of the apartment to the kitchen in the back--there'd likely have been rear access for those kinds of errands, like they had in the Family Affair apartment. As for the blank wall in the kitchen, I'm imaging a big baker's rack, which were popular in the 1970s. Someone else mentioned a china cabinet, but I think if the Jeffersons had either a china cabinet or a buffet, those would have been in the dining room.
Thanks for the input. I remember baker's racks! I'd forgotten about them.
I believe the kitchen "back" door led to the hallway. It's common in luxury apartments/condos to have a "service" entrance. In come cases good friends would use it. I distinctly remember the Willis's using that entrance every now and then to pop in for a visit.
I would assume the apartment, being a deluxe high rise apartment, probably had another entrance to the hallway. I know building codes and rules are different now than they were then, but now many new builds require a second door, or a backdoor, just incase say a fire in the Jeffersons front door area prevented their escape they'd have the kitchen back door to fall back on, and having a terrace isn't an acceptable replacement because you could stand out there away from the apartment fire yea but that is several hundred feet up and smoke would be pouring out of the windows and such.
I've lived in apartments and condos and I never seem any of them with two entrance. And you mention Family Affair, Wow! that really takes me back..
@@empire7179
I've lived in many different apartments as well. I assure you that *my* apartments never had a service entrance, but the ultra high-end ones sometimes do.
Your videos are so much fun to watch. I definitely like the living room better with that beautiful bookshelf, and I like the idea of the kitchen having a second door.
😊 Thank you!
Great job! Love the pic of Billy Dee Williams in Florence's room, but was hoping to compare and contrast the apartment before and after they redecorated in the later seasons.
Hmmm. Maybe someday I'll do the redecorated version.
You are amazing…thank you for that wonderful tour! I love seeing these SO much! ❤️
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the tour. It was sure a fun one to do.
another great video marina - thanks!
i always liked the jeffersons & their "deluxe apartment in the sky" - so many tv & movie apartments can be garish but 'the jeffersons', 'the bob newhart show', the first 'mary tyler moore show' & last but not least, 'that girl' all have an element of reality to them - enjoyed & thanks! :)
I can't wait to do the apartment from Bob Newhart. Loved it. I'm doing Family Affair next month and it's pretty amazing too.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I'll be looking forward to that. Newhart's apartment is one of those that's more than just nostalgic appeal, I used to think it would be a cool place to live. Really liked the layout.
@@duotronicnone4572 Me too. And you can tell once the missing walls are added, it will be HUGE
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I pass the newhart high rise often
@@robertpreston2220 Cool! I hope to get that apartment done in 2022.
You made me cry and goosebumps went up and down my arm! As a little girl, I longed to live in that apartment with the Jefferson's because I loved the show that much. You just brought back so many great memories of watching the show and what it would feel like if in fact it was a real place. Thank you for bringing my dream into 3D and almost reality - great job and keep em coming! Peace & Love
This was great to hear. I love when it brings back good memories for people. Mission Accomplished. 😊

So much to comment on! First I love it that you included a picture of Billy Dee Williams in Florence's room. She had such a major crush on him and even got kissed by him in one episode. I thought she'd have had a real life sized poster of him on the wall lol! I agree that they'd have had to have their own laundry room. I keep thinking if we ever moved from our apartment the two things I want are a small laundry room with washer and dryer instead of having to go down to the laundry room here where it opens and closes at certain times and with covid only one could use it at a time. I also want a bath and a half so my husband and I don't have to wait for each other. How did families stand it when there were 4 children plus parents and only ONE bathroom?
Maybe sometime you could do 704 Hauser Street the home of the Bunkers on AITF. We usually only saw the living room, dining room and kitchen but I'd be interested in the layout of the upstairs. And that elusive fourth wall downstairs.
As usual, your work is brilliant and I love watching these videos.
Thanks for sharing all of that! Glad you liked the tour. When I did Florence's room I just knew Billy Dee had to be in there.
I'd like to see All In The Family house too.
I recall several bedroom scenes on AITF. Remember the toilet flushes? 🤭
@@sparker7768 I know, but I was thinking mostly of the upstairs hall. We saw it really well in one episode, the one where Theresa has her boyfriend over when Archie and Edith are planning a trip out of town and then miss their bus or something and come home unexpectedly. Edith finds Theresa upstairs and they talk about what's going on and I love that hall, you see the nice woodwork and a table between the bedrooms. I know you see the bathroom in one episode, the one where Gloria and Mike are going to move to California and they're all in there, and Mike and Archie are having to share the mirror. Of course I remember the terlit flushes (I have pronounced it that way since the show was on originally lol). And we often saw Mike and Gloria's bedroom and Archie and Edith's. Sometimes I imagine how I would fix up the bedrooms on that show and every other show I watch, and all the homes I've lived in, how I would arrange the furniture etc. I know, I'm nuts.
Thank you for this video. I loved the Jefferson's apartment. When I was a kid I thought it was so great! We always watched The Jefferson's.
Glad you liked the tour.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane that's great. I'd love to see the tour of Major Nelson's house. I Dream of Jeannie was my favorite show when I was growing up. I watched all the reruns. When I was a kid I got the I Dream of Jeannie bottle toy one Christmas. It was fantastic. I wish I still had it. 💝🧞
@@ladyrachel13 I see them for sale on ebay.
The other odd thing is the placement of the elevator. It’s at the end of the hallway. I lived in an apartment building, no where near a deluxe apartment in the sky, in the Bronx, and it was centered. The Bronxwood Tower, on east 233rd street.
Fun Fact: the Bronxwood Tower was seen in the movie love story with Ryan O’Neil. He was working selling Christmas trees in the Boston area. But in fact he was on east 233rd street, Bronx NY.
Good point about the elevator placement.

So cool to see their apartment. Always enjoyed watching the Jeffersons Great memories. I always look forward in watching your videos! Your the best!
Thank you. I love hearing that. Makes it all worth it to know others get into these TV homes too.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Your work is amazing! Every time I watch one of your videos, it takes me back to that time. I really feel like I'm in the set. Thank you for sharing these with all of us!
@@nancyeyerly2328 I love this! That's a big reason why I do it. So it's always great when I hear it's doing exactly that.
I have another show on this channel called Cinematically Inspired Design, where we learn the techniques to make our homes create the mood we want in our home - a mood that takes us to those kinds of special eras of our lives. Look for the most recent ones that mention Storyboards in the titles. A storyboard is what they use in the cinema to create the mood and tell the story of the characters through design. Your storyboard will be about you. Your life is the "movie" and you create the design.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I just finished part 1! I'm ready to start gathering and then watch parts 2 & 3!
@@nancyeyerly2328 It's like you get to become the Production Designer for your own home. Have fun.
this was INCREDIBLE. i got goosebumps watching it from the perspective of the Jeffersons. One of my favorite shows. Simpler and better times. The design is amazing and truly a deluxe apartment
It was. I forgot to include the sq ft. It came in at 3,100!

Another awesome video & tour! I really like the music you chose for the video. Very representative for the time.
Just a small point, the Jefferson moved to Manhattan, the upper East Side, specifically, from (Astoria) Queens, not the Bronx..
George and Louise were neighbors of Archie Bunker on the CBS sitcom, “All in the Family.”
Yes. Several people have pointed that out. I don't know how I goofed it up.
Wouldn't that mean a similar floorplan?
Fantastic! I prefer the delineation between the living and dining rooms. The walls are small enough so that it still has an openness ... but not too much. I finally have a clear picture of the bedrooms in my mind now thanks to you. They very rarely showed Lionels or Florences rooms. Really enjoyed this one! So many great memories. ✌❤
Glad you liked it. I couldn't wait to go back in that hallway and figure everything out. It was a huge apartment, but we didn't get to see very much of it.
Very nice I lived in a old house that had that partial wall between the kitchen and dinning room like that. It did make them feel like seperate rooms.
@@Doug72 So you'd vote for that version?
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes I would vote for it
I was Born in 1972 the Jeffersons were refreshing to see back then proved African Americans can be successful like mine my mother was a physical therapist and my dad a physician so we could relate to this show grow up and My family watch religiously growing up 😃
Thank You... The Jefferson's apartment is still my favorite TV home ever since I was a little boy growing up in the 70s.👍
Glad you liked the tour. They definitely had a deluxe apartment in the sky!

Love the spice rack and salt/pepper mills that you put on the kitchen wall that we never saw. Sooo 70's. Great attention to detail!
Thank you! Glad you noticed the details.
Oh my goodness, I loved your presentation of the Jefferson’s apartment!! Thank you so much for filling in the gaps I’ve always imagined!
Glad you liked the tour. I always wondered what it looked like back in that hallway. It was one of the reasons I wanted to make a tour of the apartment.

You took the words right out of my mouth .😂😂 I was sitting here feeling that I was an intruder and George was just losing his mind. 🤯 I didn't know they lived so well . That definitely was a Deluxe apartment in the sky. Such a cool 😎 thing you have done with these tv homes.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Very nice.
Actually we did see that fourth wall on one episode. I forgot which episode. But they were near or on the balcony I believe and they had the camera facing the interior of the apartment.
Thanks for bringing that up. I was going to include that shot and forgot. We get just a glimpse of it and see two paintings. It was in the episode, "George's Dream," when they were all old. By the way, I LOVE when others get into the details of these homes. Makes me smile every time
I'm not alone 😊
Wonderful, I love what you did with the space but those colors of the 70s is something I want to forget ❣️🤩👏👏👏🧁🧁🧁
Haha. 😊
This is a great video of one of my favorite shows. I really enjoyed this. I always loved the Jefferson's apartment. Being a New Yorker myself, the Jefferson's apartment looks just like apartments I have seen on the upper east and west sides of Manhattan. Thank you for sharing this video.
So glad you liked the tour. And it's interesting to hear that there are apartments like this in the area they lived in.

Marina, do you watch EVERY episode of these shows to do your research? WOW! That's dedication.
Well, sort of and sort of not. I watch quite a few in the beginning. Then as I start modeling the home, I have episodes up on one of my computer screens and slide through them to get the angles I need to see. But, I catch a lot of what was going on in the episodes that way too.
Another great job, Marina! I’m so impressed with every tour. Always enjoyable, and looking forward to Home Alone, and all others to come!😊
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the tours.
That desk is where he kept his business checkbook. I was so astonished how that book look. Compared to personal checkbooks.
I grew up watching The Jeffersons for 40+ years as a NYer. Of all the tv shows I’ve watched, this was the apartment I wanted to live in.
It's amazing!
I love your tour of the Jeffersons apartment and look forward to the next part in December. I always watched the Jeffersons, so hilarious. A great look you gave us of this beautiful apartment. Thank you very much, Marina Coates
Thank you!
Will you be watching the new remake of The Waltons? It comes out at the end of the month.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes. Definitely want to watch. I wonder if we may have a new house for you to tour. Are the viewers happy with what we did. Let me know how you like the remake. Regards
@@hamnr9 They are very happy with the tour and especially you sharing your memories. Priceless!
Sure didn't see this coming. Just mesmerizing. I just absolutely love dogs but am ashamed to admit I never laughed so hard as when George was dogsitting and tossed the ball behind him out into the terrace and the dog jumped over the wall after the ball. Couldn't show that today.
You mentioned the kitchen square feet. Do you know what the approximate square footage of the apartment would have been?
Can't believe all the research you must do to get so incredibly detailed. Do you watch every episode or have someone help you? Or do you spot watch quite a few. Seems you must watch most all the episodes. Fantastic work as usual!
I do have the total square feet and was going to put it in the episode and forgot. It's 3100
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Wow. That's big. Thanks, Marina.
@@rday710 Yes. It's huge. Guess it really was a deluxe apartment in the sky 🎶
Can you even IMAGINE how much an apartment like that would cost today???
@@elizabethalvarado813 When I made this episode I looked up the cost of apartments to rent in that building and there were none with the square feet, number of bedrooms and bathrooms. I would love to know what it would cost.
This was excellent! I was born near the middle of the show's run but grew up watching "The Jeffersons". I visit their building whenever I'm in NYC and I've always wondered what the entire apartment looked like. Thank you for creating this! Terrific job on Florence's room with no visual references!

The picture of Billy Dee Williams made me laugh. A nice touch.
😊 Thanks.
Very good job I always wondered because it was mainly showed in the living room. I didn't give it a hole lot of thought because I was a teenager at the time and teenagers don't give a hole lot of thought to anything. My sister seen the one who played George at a BBQ close to her house in Danville. She said she reached across the picnic table gave his hand a little pat but there was never any conversation. Thank you so much for the video.
How fun that she got to see him! Thanks for sharing.
OMG! This is so amazing! Thank you so much for your wonderfully skillful talent with these tours!
Thank you. 😊
The iconic blue flame stitch wallpaper in the dining room was used on another CBS show. In the early years of Young & Restless the paper was featured in the Brook’s family entry/staircase.
Viewers often inquired about that wallpaper.
Thanks for that info. Interesting.
Even if it was still in its ‘70’s decorator glory - that would now be a $2m co-op. They had indeed moved on up!
I agree. It was definitely a deluxe apartment in the sky.
First! YAY!!! I too like the partial wall separating the living and dining room.
You win 😁 🏆
Thank you for this. I was very excited to see this tour. I've only seen reruns and always thought the hallway was the master bedroom. I was just a kid,so seeing this makes better sense. Great work,thanks again.
After I finish a tv or movie home, it's always fun to go back and watch the show because all of a sudden where they are in the house makes so much sense.
Thank You for the Tour! I was not a fan of the show, but I did love their apartment when I was a kid. It is still beautiful today! Thank you for bringing it alive.
😊
Great tour! I remember catching a glimpse of the opposite living room wall once during the episode where Florence is dating a millionaire and they are having a picnic on the Jefferson’s terrace.
Someone else just told me that and I'm about to check it out. Thanks.

THIS (!!!!) is why I love RUclips. This was the video I didn't know I needed. Unfortunately, I am supposed to meet friends for dinner. But, I have to watch the Tour of the Bewitched Home. I can't imagine how long it took to do this, but I am so happy you did. Thank you!
Thank you so much! It's comments like this that keep me going.
And with the last name of Montgomery, I can see why you want to watch Bewitched next.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane You are more than welcome, Marina. Keep up the great work!
@@santodomingoexpat6866 😊
I'm finishing up Home Alone right now, by the way. And then it's on to Family Affair.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I can't wait! I was going to ask about the Mary Tyler Moore apartment, but then I see you have already done it. Bravo!
@@santodomingoexpat6866 I'm going to be redoing it though. That was when I was first learning the software. I want to add information too, instead of just a tour.
Thank you for this love the Jefferson’s and always wished they had filmed a set tour
Glad you liked the tour.

OMG, I was going to post a comment saying the only thing missing from Florence's room was a picture of Billy Dee Williams.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The amount of work and knowledge that goes into these videos is insane 😍 Thank you so much for doing these!!
That's awesome. Glad I included it. It was the first thing I thought of to put in there.

This was wonderful! Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. Do you remember the time George was dog sitting Mr. Whittendales' dog 'Poopsie' , who took a flying leap over the balcony? One of the funniest & shocking moments in tv history!
I sure do remember it!
The 4th wall of the living room was actually shown once, IIRC. I remember Florence being on the balcony with a man and the camera showing the never-seen wall
Thanks for sharing that.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane No problem! Now I'm gonna be on the hunt for that episode! Stumbled upon this channel and I really enjoyed this video. It made me think that Florence's room could've been Mother Jefferson's bedroom before her death since Florence was originally asked to stay with the Jeffersons and sleep in Lionel's room
@@michie826 Let me know the episode when you find it. I did see one called, "George 's Dream," where we get just a glimpse of the wall. But, I'd love to see the one you're referring to.
Season 10, episode 5 "How Not To Marry A Millionaire"
@@michie826 Thank you! I'll check it out.
Fantastic job, Marina. Thank you for making this tour possible!
Glad you liked the tour.
Love the homely sets....the homes in the 70's were big & beautiful!
Yes! so beautiful and so spacious. It really was a deluxe apartment in the sky. 🎵

This show was a huge part of my childhood, and I always used to wonder about those bedrooms! Loved this tour. Thanks!
That is one of the reasons I couldn't wait to do it - I wanted to see in that back hallway. We didn't get to see a lot of the apartment and it was so cool. Glad you liked the tour.

You did such an amazing job. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos. I’m glad you explained the kitchen. I always thought it was tiny. Lol.
I thought it was tiny too before I started researching for this episode
I was surprised. It had seemed cramped with that table in there.
As usual I love it! always a great job on these tours. its so fun touring the homes that we grew up!
I like the way you worded that - "homes that we grew up in."
So true...fun memories.
Thank you!!!!!I've always have wanted to go there and look. This was perfectly done! I appreciate all of your hard work and putting this together. It really does mean a lot to me. I used to watch this show with my family so long ago. This was a real treat to see. Thanks again! ❤💚
Yay! Glad you liked the tour and I love that it brought back great memories 😊

The kitchen table is the same one the Jefferson's had in their house when they lived next to Archie Bunker on "All In The Family". Cool that they brought it with them.
Awesome. I didn't catch that.

Always so much fun!Thanks!
Thank you. Good to hear.
Always a phenomenal job!! I watched this in high school. You nailed it👍😊
Thank you! That's always good to hear.
I love the added touch of the portrait of Billy Dee Williams on Florence's bedroom dresser. He was her all time favorite leading man & featured in an episode of The Jeffersons.
👍🏽💯😊
When I started Florence's room, that's the first thing that popped in my head. 😊
This was so fun to watch. Thank you!
I do have to mention that I would have loved to have heard more about the bar in the living room, only because as a kid I thought that they had juice in all of those pitchers (decanters). I decided that when I grew up I wanted to have my own juice bar in my house.
I am happy to report that as a fully grown adult, I now have my own living room bar with "juice". We call it "The Jefferson Juice Bar"
I love it!
I love this!!! I always wondered what that “deluxe apartment in the sky” would look like.
I wonder about the apartment in Three’s Company, the house in What’s Happening? And the apartment in Good Times.
Good Times is on my list. It's a looong list though. Wish I could get them out faster or had a clone helping. 😉

My Aunt and Uncle owned a high-rise co-op apartment in Brooklyn, NY in the sixties. When you walked in there was a closet by the door, a hallway to the guest bathroom and the master suite beyond. A living room with a balcony and a good size kitchen. It seemed spacious and modern to us kids. The Jefferson's apartment always reminds me of them.
This was great and really fun. I also loved the fun facts about the characters as well. Great job!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm finishing up Home Alone. It should be out tomorrow.

Thanks for the way you honor The Jeffersons as a a show and the actors/actresses
I liked how each of them had their own "movin' on up" story. 😍
Fun fact. The theme song to the Jeffersons was sung by Floridas best friend Milona from Good Times.
Cool!
Wonderful job!! I loved this so much!! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
These just keep getting better ! ! ! , You have mastered these floorplans , i can't wait to see many more to come! (:->)
Thank you so much! I love hearing that. Up next - Home Alone. After that, Family Affair. I got to interview Kathy Garver [Cissy] for that one and she gave some great behind-the-scenes stories. It will be a fun one.
These re-creations are so fun! Thank you for all the research and careful attention to detail in making them!
Thank you. I'm glad you like the tours. Im currently finishing up the Home Alone house. It will be out in mid-December
Amazing as always. I loved The Jeffersons and their apartment was wonderful. I would imagine they would have a larger kitchen with two ways to go in and out eventhough we only saw one entrance.
It really was a deluxe apartment in the sky.
My siblings and I still get a laugh from the line Florence said, I think, on the first episode:
"How come we overcame and nobody told me?"
I remember her saying that line!
I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for making them.
😊
So exciting when you do a new one - I absolutely love the work you do for us
Thank you so much. Great to hear. Im currently working on Home Alone. It should be up in 2 weeks.
The apartment building shown in introduction while their catchy song plays is 185 East 85th Street in Manhattan. I grew up up the block from there.
Cool! So you know it well.

This was great! I always wondered how the bedrooms would be!👍🏼
You should do the house from Hazel. 😃
It's on my list. I've had a lot of requests for it.

Love these videos. Love the backdrop in George and Weezys bedroom
Me too. The set designers went all out on that wall.
One of the best TV Apartment of all time.
Yes, Billy Dee would be on Florence's chest. nice touch. Thanks for your deep respect of the craft, and the fandom. Well done. Can't wait to meet you on Mockingbird Lane.
When I started Florence's room, that was the one thing I knew she'd have in there😊
In reality the apartments in this building were pretty basic. The ones I've seen listed have short ceilings and a basic layout...what I call a bowling alley. Where there is natural light on one end but dark otherwise. I've never seen one listed with more than two bedrooms and I highly doubt any of them had 4 bathrooms. My guess is the laundry is indeed common and shared. Of course I'm talking about the actual building not the set.
I went online to check them out. I wanted to get an idea of how much the rent would be. And I found the same thing you did - there were none with the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and square feet. So, the rent in today's dollars remains a mystery.
It's funny you mention the bowling alley floorplan. I live in such apartment. I always get envious when I watch The Jeffersons because the apartment seems to have a much more interesting layout.
@@microbios8586 I forgot to add the sq ft in the video - 3,100! It is huge. Plus, like you said, the layout is great too.
Awesome!! You have such an unique channel! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I sure have fun doing it.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane You're very welcome!
OMG‼️ Growing in the 70s I LOVED watching The Jeffersons and was so impressed by their luxury apartment.
I was tickled to finally see their entire apartment which was a mystery to me. Thank you soooo very much for your hard work in solving this mystery! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽‼️😁
That makes me so happy to hear! One of the reasons I made this tour is that I always was so curious to see back in that hallway and figure out the layout. Great show. Great writing, casting and acting. 😍

Thank for this.
George Jefferson was my favorite character on t.v as a kid. He was the 1st and only self black made millionaire on t.v. He took care of his family and stood his ground at all times. The blueprint for The Cosby Show and other black family shows that followed
And he was so good in the role. No one else could have played the part.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I agree the original actor was ok but nothing like Sherman Hemsley.
