Ep 1. The Grand Opening (1)

The Jeffersons season 4 episode 1, titled "The Grand Opening (1)," is a hilarious and exciting start to the new season. The episode centers around the grand opening of George and Louise Jefferson's latest business venture, a cleaners called Jefferson Cleaners.

As the episode begins, George and Louise are getting ready for the big event, with George making sure everything is perfect for the opening and Louise fretting about the details. The couple's friends and family are also preparing for the opening, including their neighbor Tom Willis and his wife Helen, who run a successful art gallery next door.

However, the excitement quickly turns to chaos as the opening gets underway. In typical Jefferson fashion, there are a series of mishaps and misunderstandings that threaten to derail the entire event. First, a competitor who owns another cleaners in the area, tries to sabotage the Jeffersons by flooding their store with flyers advertising his own business. Then, a deliveryman shows up with the wrong cleaning equipment and refuses to take it back, causing a scene in the store.

Meanwhile, Tom Willis is dealing with his own troubles as his art gallery is robbed during the opening. Tom is devastated, but George and Louise quickly rally to offer their support and help him find the thieves.

Throughout the episode, there are plenty of laughs and witty one-liners from all the characters. George Jefferson, played by the incomparable Sherman Hemsley, is as quick and sassy as ever, firing off insults and quips in his signature style. Meanwhile, Louise, played by the talented Isabel Sanford, provides a perfect foil to George's antics with her level-headedness and intelligence.

Other notable characters include Florence, the Jeffersons' maid, who is up to her usual shenanigans, and Lionel, the couple's son, who is trying to navigate his way through a new romance.

All in all, "The Grand Opening (1)" sets the tone for a fun and entertaining season filled with the same humor and heart that made The Jeffersons a classic sitcom.
