As per the condolence thread on Wednesday.

[Light Housework]

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched The Jeffersons.

 

[Malarkey]

I don't think his sitcoms were particularly known in the UK?

 

[matt]

And this relates to Morrissey how? He was just a fan? Sometimes I really don't get him anymore.

 

[Trevelbond]

I don't think his sitcoms were particularly known in the UK?

All in the Family was an adaptation of a British sitcom. He was groundbreaking here in the States. There was nothing else so brash and controversial on television here in the early 1970's.

I think a backdrop gif for Sweet and Tender Hooligan is from The Jeffersons.

 

[Famous when dead]

I don't think his sitcoms were particularly known in the UK?

Given his biggest hits are rewrites of Steptoe & 'till Death, it's sad Johnny Speight / Galton and Simpson aren't known better Stateside.

Maybe from Sanford and Son ???

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched The Jeffersons.

Jefferson’s depressed me as a kid, they had some heavy episodes, subject matter.

And this relates to Morrissey how? He was just a fan? Sometimes I really don't get him anymore.

M likes American sitcoms, Golden Girls too.

Edit: In regards to Lear’s work, I’d like to add that he probably got turned on to these shows when visiting America as a teenager, so it’s probably not a new thing for him.

I remember All in the Family reruns used to depress me so much as a kid. Just the decor. I'm sure it was good though.

I don’t think you know how questions work?

He made some great films in the early 70s.

I liked him in Love Story.

 

[Leroy]

But no mention of Shane McGowan or Benjamin Zephaniah.
Morrissey Central is truly a God-awful website.

I don’t think you know how questions work?

A question in the form of a statement.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Me too. Archie was miserable, the house was decorated in drab earth tones and that wife of his...clearly in the throes of early onset dementia.

Shane McGowan grossed me out. I can't imagine going around with a mouth looking like that! All I could think was how much his teeth had to hurt.
