A Friend in Need
"One of the many spin-off's from the mega hit 'All In The Family' this first episode of 'The Jeffersons' starts in good form. The characters spar off of each other wonderfully, making this a lot of fun. There are some terms that would never be allowed on TV today, making this a piece of its time...."
