Thu, Apr. 24th, 2008, 04:04 pm movin' on up, to the east side!

Sweeties. Another cultural literacy question, or rather, another "Just how big of an oldhead AM I" question. Who's familiar with the old TV show "The Jeffersons"? Again, has to do with whether I can refer to in a novel, or whether everyone will be like, "Huh?????" Thanks! I love knowing I can come to y'all with this stuff!!!!!

I never heard of the Jeffersons but here are some other old shows: I Love Lucy, Leave It To Be Beaver, Braidy Bunch and Different Strokes. Fri, Apr. 25th, 2008 08:34 pm (UTC)
laurenellen: Re: Old Fashioned

I *love* the Brady Bunch. LOVE. I make my kids watch the old episodes on DVD. Actually, my seven-year-old just recently told me I look like Bobby Brady, so maybe I should cut him off. Especially since with my stupid growing-out-hair, he's kinda right... Sun, Apr. 27th, 2008 06:01 pm (UTC) (Anonymous): Re: Old Fashioned

I've heard of it, but never watched it. But TONS of my bff's used to watch it (of course, the friends i keep telling to read certain books like urs) so, i think a majority of the people would get it.

I'd say go for it. It was a big show AND it continues to live on in reruns / Nick at Nite. Of course, it depends on the age of the character making the reference and/or the time period of the story. Fri, Apr. 25th, 2008 08:32 pm (UTC)

Ah, very good to know, L'il Dub. I must google Nick at Nite's TV schedule... Merci! Sat, Apr. 26th, 2008 05:17 am (UTC)

You are welcome! If not Nick at Nite, try TV Land. De rien. Fri, Apr. 25th, 2008 08:17 am (UTC) (Anonymous): Hey Lauren
Hey Lauren. I'm 13. I've heard of the Jeffersons, but I dont really know what it's about. :D p.s. I love your books, especially the "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen" ones. And its so awesome because the year I turned 11, just a couple days after I did, "Eleven" came out. Same with "Twelve" and "Thirteen". And I find it SOOOOO AWESOMEEE that an author writes books about how it really is to be my age (exactly) and doesnt sugar-coat. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BOOKS. PLEASE MAKE SURE "Fourteen" COMES OUT NEAR LATE FEBRUARY!!!!!!! haha jk. :DDD Keep writing. Fri, Apr. 25th, 2008 08:31 pm (UTC)

laurenellen: Re: jeffersons

I know! I agree! One of the best theme songs ever. Sat, Apr. 26th, 2008 03:38 pm (UTC) (Anonymous)
I'm not really familliar with the Jeffersons when you just mention it, but once I searched it, I think I remember seeing it on TV sometimes, although I didn't really watch it... I'm agreeing with those above, about I Love Lucy- (I LOVE watching I love lucy! haha!). The brady bunch works too, and I'm not quite sure, but maybe Fresh Prince, although that was on a little more recently. Hope it helps! -another enjoying admirer Sat, Apr. 26th, 2008 07:23 pm (UTC) (Anonymous)

As far as old TV goes I LUV LUV LUUUUV the Beverly Hillbillies. I doubt anyone else my age has ever even really heard of it before. Why do you need an old TV show? jw

laurenellen: Re: ... But wait!

Shy clam! Hello, little one! I love the Beverly Hillbillies. Jethro. hee, hee. I want my characters to talk about old TV theme songs, and I want to refer to "The Jeffersons" beause it's got SUCH an awesome theme song. That's all... Oh, and it has to do with other plot twists down the road, of course. ;) Mon, Apr. 28th, 2008 11:24 pm (UTC) (Anonymous): The Jefferson's?
yeah i've never heard of it so like don't mention it. Tue, Apr. 29th, 2008 01:05 am (UTC) (Anonymous): jeffersons
totally have heard of the jeffersons, totally dont know what it is about! :) Tue, Apr. 29th, 2008 09:01 pm (UTC) (Anonymous): ?The Jeffersons?
I've never heard of the jeffersons, I'll ask my mom about it though . . . I NEVER EVER watch shows that are from today, (except for iCarly and sometimes Disney Channel) I love to watch Full House (Why do people say that's a bad thing?) Michelle is SOOOOO cute, but i only like her when she's a baby, not a 2nd grader, though. I LOVE I Love Lucy!!!!! My mom and I watch it together on Sunday mornings. I LOVE the Brady Bunch, my mom sometimes says, "Natalie, you act like Jan Brady!" Jan is my least favorite character (no one really likes her) When my mom turned 43, we gave her a card with Greg Brady and it said 'Can You Dig it?' On the inside it said, 'You may be old, but your still as groovy as ever!' I love Leave it to Beaver'! My favorite episode is when Wally likes Penny from his ballroom dancing class, and Beaver does something so she doesn't like him anymore, so Beaver gives her a beautifully wrapped present and inside is his toad! I also like when they raise an aligator, and the one when Wally gives Beaver a haircut! I also LOVE to watch 'Saved By the Bell' My fave character is Screech, wasn't he on Celebrity Fit Club? I also like to watch 'The Waltons' my grandmother and I watch them, they're okay. I HATE that LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS show! HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! I LOVE 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch'! It is AWSOME!!!! Don't worry Lauren, anyone who can write and sound like a teenager is NOT an old fart. NaT Wed, Apr. 30th, 2008 09:54 pm (UTC) (Anonymous): Re: ?The Jeffersons?
omggggggggggg i love sabrina the teenage witch<33333 Fri, May. 2nd, 2008 05:05 pm (UTC)
laurenellen: Re: ?The Jeffersons?

Okay, A) I never said I was an old fart. I said I was an oldHEAD. Big difference. ;) and B) dude, Jan is awesome! I love Jan!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you, bad-mouthing my Jan! (I say it all in love, ya know...) Tue, Apr. 29th, 2008 09:05 pm (UTC) (Anonymous)
