I keep thinking of a short-run TV sitcom called "Amen". I don't remember the attorney's show name, but it was the same actor that played George Jefferson.
I didn't ever watch Amen, but I think I know that kinda swagger

It was in re-runs when I saw it but I would watch it along with Alice, The Mary Tyler More Show etc.
I loved The Jeffersons, Weesa was too cool, so I really have to just say something in George Jefferson's defense.

I never watched All In the Family until my twenties but that is where George and Weesie lived in the same neighborhood as the Bunkers, George never went over to see them because Archie was a racist pig.
George's family had picked cotton (probably one of the most taxing jobs out there) for very low wages somewhere in the south. He didn't have a father so he was the man of the house when he was a boy.
I don't know if Weesa had picked cotton, but both worked menial labor until George became a successful business man with Weesa at his side.
So George truly was a proud man, even if he came off as arrogant. He would not have sold bikinis. He would have busted his butt off to rock the state bar and support his family. If George was the underdog that was expected to fail in the most watched trial we would be surprised at his stellar performance.
Even though we enjoy poking fun at JB, it really is sad how little pride he has, he seems to have no shame.
Now that I think about it JB would try to "buy" the jury in Satsuma. If there are such juries in the country I'd think Satuma could be one of them. So maybe we don't want him out there unless he would get caught and be in more trouble than he will be when he's done in Orlando.:crazy:
Oh, I almost forgot
