Good Times, Jeffersons, Sanford and Son and All in the Family.

I always felt that Good Times and the Jeffersons was more explosive than Sanford and Son and All in the Family. So i would rank

1.Jeffersons
2.Good Times
3.Sanford and Son/All in the Family

1. Sanford and Son
2. All in the Family
3. Good Times
4. The Jeffersons

I like all of those shows. The Jeffersons would probably be ahead of Good Times though but I've only seen 1 season of the Jeffersons.

Yeah i defintely was better than season 2. George was just a completely different character in season 1 than in any other season during the show. He was louder, and his temper was much shorter.

The best thing about the first season of The Jeffersons was...having Mike Evans playing Lionel Jefferson, instead of that hideous geek Damon Evans (and NO, there is no relation between the actors)...:lol:

I have to get season 1 myself. It's not available in the stores anymore so i have to get it from amazon.com The only thing i don't like about amazon is it's products are delivered through UPS and i'm not here to sign for it during the day.

1. The Jefferson (by far Norman Lear's best sitcom, 100 times better than the other 3, and those are still great)

2. All in the Family, although every time a character left it lost something. First the Jeffersons, then Mike and Gloria.

3. Sanford & Son.... 2 Words: Redd Foxx.

4 Good Times. It may be dynomite, but it just doesnt hold up to the first 2, but it is very close in quality to S&S IMO.

You can always order from bestbuy.com and choose store pickup.
(unless you dont have a Best Buy, but if not, most places have the option to pickup at the store)
