The Jeffersons Trivia

The Jeffersons was a "spin-off" of the series, "All In The Family".

Archie Bunker (from All in the Family) and George Jefferson were two very similar personalities. They both looked down on each other (and everyone else). Archie felt himself superior because George was one of "those people" (afro-american) and George looked down on Archie because he was a "blue-collar, redneck". It really got to Archie when George's dry-cleaning business grew to several locations and he moved his family on up to a deluxe apartment on the East Side of Manhattan. And George's success and wealth give him even more excuses to continue his snobbish ways!

The Jeffersons Theme Song

Title: "Movin' On Up"

By: "Jeff Barry and Ja'net Dubois"

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
