One thread is enough people. There’s no need to rush over to CS and post about the death of some washed up actress who hasn’t done anything in 20 years. Calm the fuck down.
Take your own advice and STFU.
ABC sent me a breaking news alert on it. Mondays are slow news days.
So…I’m not allowed a short rant? Why is that?
Just be thankful there are three and this is the sdmb, (hey that rhymes)
other boards would have inspired about 15 threads if someone (famous to them) had dided.
Personally I’ve never heard of her.
I just keep up with the Celebrity Death Pool thread. Death announcements on that thread hit before the mist has even evaporated from the mirror.
I have every right to be upset… Weezy owed me five bucks.
In my opinion: in nine times out of ten times, one thread is too many.
Hey, I’m the one who called the “day late and dollar short” posters to task, but “some washed up actress who hasn’t done anything in 20 years?” The day you entertain and delight people the way Isabel Sanford did, I’ll eat my hat.
And,
You seem awfully eager to brag of your ignorance. Go. watch. Learn.
Ok, maybe I was a bit harsh.
I just didn’t think it was anything to start a Pit thread about.
The latter two threads were started by OPers who were unaware of the first, and in one thread, the OP was the only post.
I guess Ms Sanford hasn’t anything the past 20 years because there aren’t many parts for old black women over 60 anymore.
Sorry if I crimped your rant.
I think I’m just in a grumpy mood.
That should be “hasn’t done anything…”
[sub]And I previewed.

I recognise the face but I never saw a single episode of ‘The Jeffersons’ and I tend not to ever find out the names of American sit-com stars unless they are overly famous (Kelsey Gramer, Charlie Sheen, David Hyde Pierce, Ted Danson etc)
Plus I am only 25 and I guess ‘The Jeffersons’ was quite old.
Not true, she did an Old Navy ad a few years back.
Weez-ay!
I wish Nick at Nite would play The Jefferson’s instead of The Cosby Show. Isabel was a wonderful straight man to Sherman Helmsley. She really made the show.
RIP Isabel. God Bless. The Jeffersons will not be the same without you!
I think each threadstarter was trying to be clever and witty with the “Movin’ On Up” joke.
I will miss her. She was a talented actress who brought enjoyment to the hearts of many.
Thank you for starting this thread, Lord Ashtar
I know this might be hard for some of you to believe, but there was a time when people living in places like Britain and Australia weren’t bombarded with every single American sitcom that ever made the airwaves. That someone from one of those countries might not have heard of The Jeffersons is not particularly surprising, especially given the fact that BBC product generally crapped all over American TV back in the seventies (and some would argue that nothing’s changed).
Personally, i think The Jeffersons is/was a fantastic show, but i’d never seen an episode until i moved to the US.
To some of us, she’s best known for her work in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. She did other stuff besides The Jeffersons. Terrific actress, in comedy and drama.
Oh, but while we’re bitching, the two late posters really had no excuse for “not noticing” a front-page thread titled *Say “Good Night” Weezy: Isabel Sanford has died. *
Who the fuck is Spalding Gray?
