13 Things You Didn’t Know About ‘The Jeffersons’

6. Sanford’s “Our Way Or The Highway” Moment

The Jeffersons was a spin-off of All In The Family, a show that revolved around the fictional Bunker family—the Jeffersons’ neighbors before George Jefferson’s insurance settlement made him rich. Isabel Sanford was comfortable in the popular series and while The Jeffersons was being pitched, was uneasy about leaving the popular show for an unproven series. However, it was made clear that should she not get with the program, she’d simply be written out of the new series if it was picked up. Talk about an ultimatum!
