Ep 61 - Louise's Physical

The Jeffersons is an American sitcom which aired from 1975 to 1985. The show follows the life of George and Louise Jefferson, an African-American couple who move from Queens to the Manhattan's Upper East Side. In season 3 episode 61, titled "Louise's Physical," Louise is scheduled to have her annual physical, but she is nervous and worried about what the doctor might find.

As the day of the physical approaches, Louise becomes increasingly anxious. She is afraid the doctor will find something wrong with her, and this fear becomes so overwhelming that she starts to have nightmares. George tries to reassure her, but his attempts to calm her only seem to make her more agitated.

When the day of the physical finally arrives, Louise is a bundle of nerves. She is so nervous that she can barely fill out the paperwork. The doctor, who is played by guest star Ruby Dee, is kind and gentle with Louise, but she still can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.

As the doctor examines Louise, she gives her a clean bill of health. However, Louise is not convinced and begins to grill the doctor with questions about every little thing. The doctor patiently answers all of Louise's questions but eventually becomes frustrated with her hypochondriac behavior.

After the physical, Louise goes to the pharmacy to fill her prescription. While she is waiting in line, she overhears a conversation between two women who are discussing their various ailments. This only serves to make Louise even more anxious, and she runs out of the store without filling her prescription.

When Louise returns home, she is still worried about her health. She begins to obsess over every little ache and pain, convinced that she has some terrible disease. George tries to reassure her once again, but Louise is too worked up to listen.

Finally, George has had enough of Louise's irrational behavior and decides to take matters into his own hands. He arranges for a fake doctor to come to the house and give Louise a second "examination." The fake doctor tells Louise that she is perfectly healthy and has nothing to worry about. Finally, Louise calms down and realizes that her anxiety was all for naught.

The episode ends with Louise feeling relieved and George feeling proud of himself for finding a creative solution to Louise's problem. Overall, "Louise's Physical" is a classic episode of The Jeffersons that showcases the show's ability to tackle serious issues in a comedic way.
