The Jeffersons
"The Jeffersons" had one spin-off, titled "Checking In." The series was centered on the Jeffersons' housekeeper, Florence, who takes a job as cleaning management at a hotel. "Checking In" lasted only four episodes, after which Florence returned to "The Jeffersons" with the story that the hotel had burned down in a fire. "The Jeffersons" also shared continuity with the sitcom "E/R", which featured Lynne Moody who made a guest appearance in one episode of "The Jeffersons". Sherman Hemsley guest-starred as George in two episodes of the series, which lasted for one season. The cancellation of "The Jeffersons" cleared the way for Marla Gibbs, who played Florence Johnston on the series, to move on to the new NBC sitcom "227" in the fall of 1985, a year earlier than scheduled.
