The Jeffersons
A spinoff from All in the Family, The Jeffersons follows George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley), whose dry-cleaning business becomes so successful that he and his wife Louise (Isabel Sanford) move from Queens to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It ran from 1975 to 1985 and is known as the second-longest-running sitcom with a primarily Black cast by episode count (253 episodes in total) after Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, which came decades later.
