Overview: "The Jeffersons" was perhaps the most-successful spinoff series to "All in the Family." George Jefferson was the black version of Archie Bunker in many respects, both were loud-mouthed, opinionated and set in their bigoted ways. By 1975, Jefferson's fledging dry-cleaning business, Jefferson Cleaners, had successfully grown into a small chain; his newfound wealth led to moving his family to a "deluxe apartment in the sky" in Manhattan. His family included his wife, Louise, a level-headed and open-minded woman who often had to scold George when his mouth got him into trouble; and Lionel, an engineering major at a local college.

DVD Verdict: Man, this is truly the season that we should all have been waiting for! The fifth season is when 'The Jeffersons' really hit it's stride!!! Wow! There are so many fantastic episodes like when Florence gets to meet Billy Dee Williams. Needless to say she was truly his number one fan, considering he later guest-starred on an episode of her sitcom '227.' Hint, Hint the second season release of that series is Long Overdue!!! I'd have to say one of my all-time favorite episodes is when George and Helen get Disco Fever!!! I just loved watching George dance, but poor Tom Willis got a raw deal having absolutely no rhythm on the dance floor! I could go on and on about many more favorite episodes from this unforgettable fifth season, but I'll just bide my excitement and let you all explore and relive this wonderful DVD as and when you yourselves buy it! Now only if Sony will get cracking with a complete first season release of 'Maude,' my life would be complete!!!! These are Full Screen presentations (1.33:1), has all the 24 fifth season episodes on 3 discs.
