@CANDLEQUEEN thanks hun. I often wondered what happened to the show, but never thought to google it until now.

One point of interest I did find was the fact that the gent that played George refused to abide by the script if there were racial slurs in it. The example given was he refused to use the word "white Honk@y" and the script would have to be changed. KUDOS to him and don't we wish everyone in the world would anti-racial?

Maybe in the later years he wouldn't use that word anymore, but he definitely said it on the show.

"white Honk@y"

Personally, I have never heard that term before. Honkey yes, white honkey, NOPE! Never heard it said that way on The Jeffersons show either. Then again knowing George.....

He sure did, he used to call Tom Willis that all the time.
