    Prog rock fan? Excellent.

    But slam the door in the face of the drug stuff. Since some of the substances may have been white, well ... we know what George Jefferson would call it.

    I'm surprised by Gong. I always figured Sherman Hemsley to be more into Camel or Gentle Giant.

    The early episodes of The Jeffersons are pretty hilarious.

    I hope George Jefferson is cracking wise at Willis right now in heaven.

    "The only thing whiter than this cloud is you, Willis!"

    RIP Sherman Hemsley.

    According to his Wiki page, he was a Gentle Giant fan as well.

    I must know, given this crazy, sometimes beautifully serendipitous world we live in ...

    Was he a fan of this prog rock band?

    That would be too awesome.

    Perfect.

    Here's a scene where George Jefferson comes in dancing as Lionel has Nektar's "Show Me the Way" playing on the radio.



    The full song:


    Someone in the YouTube comments claims snippets of this song also were used in the late 80s local TV opens for Cincinnati Reds broadcasts. No mention of whether Marty Brenneman also had a den of women and freebase.

    I'll miss the George Jefferson walk/strut. RIP George.

    Wow. Didn't even put that together. The 1982 Battle of the Network Stars was that generation's version of "The Conquerors".
