George Jefferson

George Jefferson and Archie Bunker are as different as they are the same. George is loud and opinionated like his neighbor, and as prejudiced against whites as Archie is against blacks. If the two of them ever stop to listen to what the other is saying, they'd be frightened by how similar they actually are. George owns a dry-cleaning business and is quite successful at it. Eventually, he opens a small chain of stores and "moves on up" to New York's East Side, leaving behind his blue-collar neighbor.
