I think all of us wanted to move on up to east side with George and Louise after seeing just one episode. The first time a saw an episode I died of laughter without even knowing who the characters where. They were funny from the beginning on All in the family and I commend norman Lear for capitalizing on the success of all in the family and the characters by creating memorable spinoffs such as this (which is arguably the best one). Portraying an affluent and hard-working black family and a biracial marriage is apart of what made this sitcom ground-breaking . Add to that a British neighbour, smart mouth maid and wise cracking mom and you have the perfect show! The only bad thing about it is that they never got the finale they deserved after 11 successful seasons. I also wondered why they got so many nominations for acting but never once got a nomination for comedy series (even after being the most watched sitcom in the early 80s). Anyway great show!!
