Never mind that both shows were from Norman Lear.

Ja'net DuBois (Willona Woods of Good Times) sung the theme song from The Jeffersons, "Movin' on Up." She composed the song with Jerry Barry.

Mike Evans (Lionel of The Jeffersons) co–created Good Times with Eric Monte. Mike left his role on The Jeffersons to work full time on Good Times; the Lionel role was recast. After Good Times was cancelled, Mike went back to The Jeffersons.

Would you believe The Jeffersons appeared on Good Times in one episode? Yep. That’s true. Most people missed their “appearance” on Good Times. JJ Evan was on the couch, reading a magazine. There they were. The Jeffersons was on the cover of the Ebony magazine.

Paper Moon was based on the 1973 Ryan & Tatum O'Neal movie. Ryan & Tatum are father & daughter.

Planet Of The Apes was based on the 1968–73 movies. Roddy McDowall played a different role on the series. There was also a cartoon version, Beyond Of The Planet Of The Apes, on NBC’s Saturday morning for one season.

The New Land was loosely based on two Swedish movies, The Emigrants and The New Land.

Michael Landon returned in Little House On The Prairie after a year absence. He was previously on Bonanza for fourteen years. Little House was his second big hit. The show was based on the “Little House” books, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Vic Tayback returned in a short-lived series, Kahn. He was previously in another failed series, Griff, his first series.

The Jeffersons “moving on up” from All In The Family – George, Weezie, & Lionel lived in a luxury high-rise apartment in Manhattan, thanks to George’ chain of dry cleaning stores. Tom and Helen Willis is TV’s first interracial married couple; really, the honor goes to Ricky and Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy.

Rhoda from The Mary Tyler Moore Show – Rhoda returned for a short visit in New York and fell in love with Joe Gerard

Gunsmoke is the longest western show from 1955–1975. So long, Matt Dillon. Bonanza is second with fourteen years.

Walt Disney officially became the oldest TV show in the prime time, twenty-one years and counting. Ed Sullivan doesn’t count; his show ended after twenty–four years in 1971.

Both Sonny and Cher returned to TV with SEPARATE variety shows after the divorce. Cher’s show was more popular than Sonny’s show.

James Arness played Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke for twenty years. Originally, John Wayne was the first choice to be Matt Dillon. The Duke suggested an unknown actor, James, for the role.

Jim Rockford was born out of a possible writer's strike. The character was written for a episode of Toma, which ABC rejected the script. The rewritten script became the pilot for The Rockford Files. NBC had another big hit on their hands in 1974. The show lasted for six seasons.

Alan Alda created We'll Get By, a failed CBS sitcom.

Raymond Burr's second hit show, Ironside, had a short eighth season; the show ended in January 1975. Archer replaced Ironside on NBC Thursday two weeks later. Archer didn't come back for a second season.
