Having wrapped up its first season as the fourth highest-rated network series, CBS' The Jeffersons was a shoe-in for a second-season renewal. The series remained a Saturday-night fixture, albeit in a slightly earlier time slot -- replacing its parent series All in the Family, which had moved to Mondays.

Having been shifted all over the CBS prime-time schedule during its past two seasons -- Saturdays to Wednesdays, Wednesdays to Mondays, Mondays back to Saturdays, then back to ...
