The Jeffersons: The Complete Series - Deluxe Edition [DVD]

Love the series and have seasons 1-6 when they were first released..I would love to get this but the price HAS to come down. I am sorry but what are we paying for? There is nothing speical here. Just all 11 seasons crammed into an outer box..... Most series get a release for 50.00 As I once said ....who cares about the special boxes. I would rather have all the discs thrown in those spindle boxes and pay cheaper then spend 206 for this and its nothing special either. If you dont like the spindles buy one of those case logic books which store 350 DVD al lin seperate cases and throw the spindle out....They need to STOP doing this. With the popularity of TV SHOWS on DVD today people own so many series ( I know I have over 100 Full Series) but will not fork out 206 for one show when I know a cheap version of it wil be out later or if this goes down at least 100 bucks. They get you all around..They release season sets and then a complete series so if you want to save space on a shelf you re-buy the whole show. Double Dipping is too much!!

good

All disks played without glitches, good quality videos! Private reruns at our fingertips any time we want them!

I bought these for my husband. He loves them and says they were one of only a few of the funniest shows he ever watched on television. You should have seen him when he saw what I ordered for him. It was priceless.

What needs to be said about this classic show? From the 70s to the 80s, this show ruled TV sets across America as Americans couldn't get enough of George, Weezy, Florence and the memorable cast of the Jefferson's. Too many memories and too many favorite episodes, but I always loved the exchange between Mother Jefferson with Louise and George with Florence. The series actually started off more serious and dealt with heavy topics, but as time passed on the show became lighter. It's a shame it took Sony YEARS to release Seasons 1-6 and then suddenly stopped. Sony has never treated the Jeffersons with proper respect. They never allowed the cast to have a final goodbye and this show deserved that opportunity. It was too important. It's also sad all the main cast (except Marla) has passed on because I would have loved their commentary. Thankfully, Shout Factory has rescued the Jefferson and has released this boxed set. I already have Seasons 1-6, but I purchased the box set anyway and its worth it. No complaints...just glad to see the cast again and full of life.

The five stars rating I'm giving here is for the show, since this product has yet to be released as of the date of this review. But instead of wasting your time with another comment on how great the show is - I have to presume you also feel this way, otherwise you wouldn't be reading the reviews of this product - I wanted to comment that years after I first discovered The Jeffersons, I was surprised to learn that the actress who played Louise Jefferson (Isabel Sanford) was, in real life, 20 years OLDER than the actor who played George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley). I don't know how old the characters George and Louise were supposed to be on the show, but I'm sure if there was an age difference it was a few years at best, and if anything George would probably be older than Louise. Of course, in real life there are married couples where there's a significant age difference between husband and wife, but you don't expect to see it on TV where the actress playing the wife is just about old enough to be the mother of the actor playing her husband, but the characters are similar in age. The fact that Isabel Sanford didn't "act her age," as it were, yet I never thought she was trying to "act young," is a testament to her ability and talents as an actress. (EDITED TO ADD: During later seasons, random bits of dialogue in various episodes indicate that Louise was, indeed, younger than George. And, adding to this whole "age ain't nothin' but a number' thing, there's a 1980 episode where George's 50th birthday is celebrated - whereas in real life Sherman Hemsley was 42 on the day that episode aired.)

Complete series but no eng subtitles.

To tell the truth, I was apprehensive buying this set because of the problems I had with the last Shout! Factory box set I purchased (One Day At A Time) last summer, with almost all of the DVD cases broken and damaged discs. This set arrived by UPS this afternoon (3/02/2020) and I thoroughly inspected EVERY case and disc for damage and found NONE! Very satisfied and proud to own the complete set of one of Norman Lear's best sitcoms of the mid 70's and 80's. Now all I need to get is the last 5 seasons of "Alice" and my collection of great 70's and 80's CBS sitcoms will be complete!
