"We're moving on up, to the East Side, to a deee-luxe apartment in the sky ... ." This spinoff from "All in the Family" is about literal upward mobility - African- American couple George and Louise Jefferson move into a swanky high-rise building. George is an obstreperous, often rude guy who thinks his wealth should get him anywhere he wants to go. His wife is more levelheaded and often cuts him down to size when his schemes go awry.
George tries to make points with a local banker while Allan tries to make points with the banker's daughter.
Billy Dee Williams can't convince Florence that he really is who he says he is.
George's favorite cousin Dusty pays a visit and brings with him some serious news.
A turn of fate transforms George and Louise's "routine" into the good old days.
