Ha ha, nice one.

But don't we all wish we were celebreties.

I just think they have too much vacation time.

I think they deserve it, they have a talent that not many of us have. It's just like being a professional baseball player when they get the whole winter off..they earned it.

I still think that they don't need to show sooo many re-runs & that they could work an extra month to make some extra episodes

lol, If someone deserves alot of vacation time for acting, and getting paid loads and loads of money; then our soldiers should gain retirement after serving 6 months in Iraq. JMO

Oh, and I didnt notice the reruns, I dont watch TV

Can't argue with that

To bad you're missing out on some descent entertainment.

But it's sad that reality crap TV is taking over. Such as the Giligan's Island "Survivor" series.

Just pathetic.

The actors don't decide re-runs. It's the network and producers.

I know that, it's the producers that also control the actors/actresses vacations as well.

But I'm sure they have some influences on the networks.

You'd be surprised how little control they have.

I guess

The shows are already taped

Why would they show new shows when they won't have the audiences full attention. ie. Functions to attend, Christmas specials, Shopping....etc

Because Johnnny is worried the actors are getting too much vacation.

The only series I watch is The Shield.

The average person watches way too much TV.

Well that's my point, ppl don't start their partying until this weekend & next week.

So there's 2 weeks in December & then ppl are back to work/school the first week of January.

So why show re-runs up until the 3rd week of January?

NBC Announces The Jefferson’s return to Prime Time

After more than 18 years after being canceled and 28 years since it’s original broadcast, NBC announced this week that they will be bringing back The Jefferson’s for an 11th season.

When asked why NBC is bringing back the Jefferson’s, executive writer, Nancy Boyle explains, "Our network has always been producing high quality family programming. Bringing back Weezy (Isabel Sanford) & George (Sherman Hemsley) seemed like the natural thing to do. We are going to bring it more up to date."

The main feature of the show will still be the love/hate relationship of the Jefferson’s. However George’s dry cleaning business went under and they had to move out of their deluxe apartment in the sky.

Living on social security the Jefferson’s had to fire their maid Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs) and move into their new apartment at "227". As you may know 227 was the show Marla Gibbs moved onto after the original run of the Jefferson’s ended.

Gibbs will remain on the show as her 227 character Mary Jenkins and Hal Williams will return as Mary’s husband Lester Jenkins.

Other returning characters include Regina King who played Brenda Jenkins, Curtis Baldwin who played Brenda‘s boyfriend Calvin Dobbs and yes… Jackee’ will be returning to play that sexy devil Sandra Clark.

To add a little flavor to the show Lenny Kravitz will be playing a wild rocker that lives next door to the Jefferson’s. His character (Dreads Willis) coincidentally will be the son of The Jefferson’s old Neighbors Helen and Tom Willis. The late Roxie Roker who played Helen Willis was the real life mother of Lenny Kravitz.

When asked why he agreed to do this show Kravitz said, "It’s like ya know man, I’m paying a homage to my momma who always said her life was all about The Jefferson’s. I plan to incorporate some of her style and flair to my character, Dreads. Of course Dreads will be a little goofy like his Poppa Tom."

The writers plan on having Dreads and Sandra Clark (Jackee’) get married mid season. Jackee’ says of this soon to be union, "Well, I hope that little man knows that you can’t just tie Sandra down, Sandra does the tying baby. Any man who even sees her automatically wants her and I hope that Dreads can handle that; I doubt he can. It will make things very interesting though."

The Jefferson’s will be airing Thursday nights at 9pm on NBC.

That's some cool news man, I will look forward to watching it.


Wonder why it was cancelled in the first place?

That's a relief. I wish there were a few other cancelled shows they'd bring back. LOL
