Sherman Hemsley has died at 74

[DrLeftover]

George Jefferson was a bigot. A loudmouth. Rude. Obsessed with money. Arrogant. And yet he was one of the most enjoyable, beloved characters in television history.



The Philadelphia-born Hemsley, who police said late Tuesday died at his home in El Paso, Texas, at age 74, first played George Jefferson on CBS's All in the Family before he was spun off onto The Jeffersons. The sitcom ran for 11 seasons from 1975 to 1985.

I've seen The Jeffersons and thought it was a very funny sitcom.
