Many of our classics were - Three's Company was based on the British "Man About the House". I remember watching the pilot episode from the original, and compared to the Three's Company pilot, they didn't change much.

Steptoe and Son was also similar to Sanford and Son in that it was mostly about the relationship between father and son.

That's what I don't like about Sanford and Son. I know it's supposed to look shabby, but that house depresses me. It looks like a place I would hate to be and would be getting out of as soon as I could. I do like Aunt Esther; I think she is the best part of the show.

Wasn't Lionel actually Lamont's uncle (Esther's husband)?

I have no interest in discussing television with you because you are not qualified. Go away

Default Programming News for the Jeffersons as a Tribute to Sherman Hemsley

TV One has scheduled a marathon from 8pm to 2am of the Jeffersons on Friday, July 27th and from 2am to 3am TV One will air Amen

TV Land is only doing a 4 hour marathon from 12pm to 4pm on Saturday which proves how much of a joke the network is when it comes to doing the right thing

I think he is a legend and should have a weekend marathon

Are those times right? That's only two episodes of Amen....

I wish they would do a weekend marathon... I'd love to see some of the earlier episodes.

Amen comes on GMC as well so you may get lucky. I have the episode of when the church got sued for food poisoning (Frye For The Defense) saved to my Tivo. Classic!

Earlier episodes of the Jeffersons?

Keep an eye on the 7am-8am episodes that air during the weekdays on TV One. They're rotating through the last season (1985, Season 11) episodes now, and they should be starting back over with Season 1 soon.

As far as 8am-9am episodes of Amen, I think they're at the point in the episode rotation where Thelma's getting married to Reverend Gregory.
