When I was a kid, when the Jefferson’s came on it was a comfort. When Sherman Hemsley passed away it felt like an uncle died who you wished you knew better. Such a likeable guy.
Have you seen Jamie Foxx doing George Jefferson? It's uncanny. It was on that All In the Family revival that Jimmy Kimmel made. Foxx beat on the door and hollered "BUNKER!!" and the first thought that crackled through my head was "I thought he passed away!" He sounded EXACTLY like George. He looked and acted AMAZINGLY like George. The only thing wrong was Foxx is a much larger man than Hemsley was. He did George's elbows-out strut, but Hemsley did that to take up more space as he entered the room, and the larger Foxx doing the strut (PERFECTLY) seemed a bit much. Still, one of the best impressions I have EVER seen one human being do of another. Up there with Eddie Murphy's Stevie Wonder.
@michaelleake4854 What I meant was an all-out effort, with nothing being held back like before. That's what a lot of certain people would like to see, but they'll never see it.
that brought tears to my eyes because I lived through garbage like this when growing up in apartheid SA. It was an honour to have African friends, and as a foreigner, it killed me to see the injustice and snooty attitude they received.
@@jimmiesmith5811 Actually, he was YOUNG Doctor Caldwell. He said in one episode that he was in practice with his father and the telephone was in his father's name. Not only that, but the judge in this scene was the ear doctor in that episode where Fred was faking being deaf.
Sherman Hemsley retired here in my town of El Paso, TX. I think he only lived here on an off, but I think this was home for him. I always head he was a nice guy, very private. He passed away July 24, 2012 and is buried here at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery (Ft. Bliss Army base is IN El Paso). There was a big scandal over his estate and his body by some guy who claimed to be his brother, and the "true heir" of the the estate. He lost eventually, but Mr. Hemsley couldn't be buried for a while. Was a real shame.
One of the best and favorite all time of TV best sitcoms ever to Sherman hemsley and isabel sanford and the other actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong great job people you should be proud thre Jeffersons always a classic to watch on TV or my cell phone appreciate the memories and a good laugh cried and cried nearly died of laughter couldn't breathe and stop laughing appreciate you guys thanks way to go very impressed !!! Joe. Keep the laughs coming appreciate you guys !!!
GREAT scene from a-GREAT-tv sitcom,this type of topic wouldn't make it onto today's tv shows. Notice how that white reporter did all the black hand shakes,the notice when George was gonna take that picture with the judge,how the judge stood in front of George putting him completely behind him.
The thing I liked about George Jefferson and James Evans, is that they weren't afraid of anybody. George was always ready to kick some ass, when he needed to.
I thought that things like this didn't happen in New York. I was always taught that New York was one of the most liberal states of the United States at that time. Just to hear the doorman say that, as of the 1970s, just to hear that something like that existed, I was lied to.
Thank you for not editing out the N Word. It was routinely used in many Black sitcoms during that time period and reflected the times. Editing it out would just be erasing what the original directors, writers and actors wanted.
Pshhh! They ben doing that for years apparently you don't understand.. I will gladly explain...its symbolic of we are superiority over them it's so sad and delusional ...always pay attention even presidential candidate doctor Ben Carson went through that... Go look it up Trump walked over and Stood beside Dr Carson because they were calling all the other names But him...well Trump saw clean thru it .....HORRIBLE!! They still practice that superiority foolishness Whyte people have ben victims of the lie for centuries
They don’t write stories like this anymore. A humorous way to educate the masses

He was amazing ❤, may he rest in eternal heaven 🙏🙏🕊️❤️
Loved him...I grew up with him from the 70s through 90s and Kim Fields

The “slap-five” on the way out 🔥
That's the best part
Absolutely 💯
Sometimes, folks need to hear the raw and unfiltered truth and that's exactly how Carl gave It to George.
I am glad they didn't censor it.
It's our history and we should remember how it was.
@reezdog Yep... And how a lot of folks want it to be again.
@@jamesorsby7553 Again???? Some instances it still is..
Not necessarily the truth but ok.

That's the scene I was waiting for. "I ain't jokin' token" - great scene!
Yes! I've never heard that before.
That slap five was a million words 🤞🏾😂
😂😂the George Jefferson walk is fire I love it 😂 🔥 ❤
Still going on today ,it's never ever stopped ..😊
Please don’t start we know that already
This was back when We were on Code! I truly miss those days!
U ain't kidding brotha
You have no idea what on code means
that brought tears to my eyes because I lived through garbage like this when growing up in apartheid SA. It was an honour to have African friends, and as a foreigner, it killed me to see the injustice and snooty attitude they received.
Why you crying ???? white people have ben victimized...the idea believing they are superior to other nations lie .. that's SOOOO sad !!!
Carl was janitor on this episode and was a Doctor on an episode of Sanford & Son...He was truly moving on up!!!
Actor Davis Roberts played the doctor on Sanford and Son says I Don't Know
Yep ... That's him. I liked him on What's Happening too.
Old doctor Caldwell
@@jimmiesmith5811 Doc Caldwell....When can I get my other $5? I DONT KNOW.

Yup😅
I love the Jefferson.. along Tom Florence too.
"I ain't jokin', token"
That low 5 on the way out tho😂😂😂
That’s looks like Dr Caldwell the “I don’t know” doctor from Sanford and Son!
it is!😊
That's because it is him.

This show was so real
The judge also played a doctor in Sanford and son, the episode where Lamont mistakenly thought Fred had been given only 6 months to live.
He also played the doctor on Three's Company when Chrissy bumped her head.
He was also in the movie "Sliver" w/Sharon Stone and William Baldwin.
@@jetnut89 and he dated Janet on Three’s Company
Childhood Memories Let's Go 💜😊
Carl speaking the black truth
the funny thing is earlier in the episode George saw how he treated Helen but chose to ignore it.

I remember seeing this for the first time when I was a kid with my parents.
I love these series. Please upload more
Dr. Caldwell, from "Sanford & Son".
“I don’t know”.
@@TempeSoldier123do you know how many doctors won't admit they don't know?

Carl played a Dr on an episode of Sanford & Son. Then as James friend on Good Times, he was a wonderful actor.

George gave him a $20 dollar bill
Back then that's Like a hundred
@@amirspellman4330yep in 1976
@@slickwilly6868
$20 in 1976 was equivalent to $110 today.
Not a bad tip for just opening a locker i'd say.

It's always odd seeing George in a situation he isn't in control of
Real Life,2025! Help us 😞
Dr.Caldwell from Sanford & Son…..his catch phrase was ( I don’t know! )
George was also a Prog Rock Guy. I heard He really liked Yes.👍🏾
That's why I loved George lol he wasn't with no goofy Shid 😂😂😂
Dr. Caldwell from Sanford and Son but “ I don’t know”
When I saw this as a kid ,I thought the guy was out of line. Now I know better of course.
Learn something from this.
Dr.Caldwell cough cough and "I don't know"
Dr. Caldwell must'a lost his medical license. Damn.
Crazy, this still relevant today...
Man, they don't write like this any more and you don't have the actors to bring the message out like this.
And today we got Clarence Thomas 😂
House negroes like clarence thomas have been around since the beginning of time
Dude was one of them old school Toms.
If people don't want you in their club just build your own
Dr “I Don’t Know” from Sanford and Son
Why is this guy going to be standing three feet in front of him in the picture anyhow? LOL.
Pshhh! They ben doing that for years apparently you don't understand.. I will gladly explain...its symbolic of we are superiority over them
it's so sad and delusional ...always pay attention even presidential candidate doctor Ben Carson went through that...

@@highlightedreply8838 BULLSHIT.if you actually watched the entire episode, it was showed the Judge was racist as hell.
LMBO❣️
EPIC.
