Scooter said...: Miguel and I were remembering All in the Family and that brought up Sherman Hemsley.; October 24, 2008 at 12:08:00 PM CDT
Anonymous said...: I thought that Movin on Up related more to "The Jeffersons" than "All in the Family"; October 24, 2008 at 12:19:00 PM CDT
Michael said...: George Jefferson in general. although after I put it up, I saw that it could also relate to a certain presidential candidate who is "Movin' On Up" in the polls. Aren't you sorry now that you asked?; October 24, 2008 at 12:30:00 PM CDT
Scooter said...: Yes. Hemsley was George and, of course, The Jeffs spun off from AitF. It is the first spinoff I remember. Was there an earlier one?; October 24, 2008 at 12:31:00 PM CDT
Stephanie said...: I'm convinced that the actually offensive reason to use it hasn't occurred to you yet, so you didn't intend it as such.; October 24, 2008 at 12:34:00 PM CDT
Michael said...: I give up. Something to do with Barry being black?; October 24, 2008 at 12:37:00 PM CDT
Stephanie said...: Conflating Obama with George because they've both moved up in the world.; October 24, 2008 at 12:42:00 PM CDT
