Ep 9. Calendar Girl

George Jefferson is always up to something, and in The Jeffersons season 7 episode 9, entitled "Calendar Girl," he has his sights set on making a little extra money. When his friend, Alvin, comes to visit, George sees a perfect opportunity to cash in.

Alvin is the owner of a printing company and has just finished printing a calendar featuring a group of young women, all of whom work in various professions. George sees the potential in this calendar, and he convinces Alvin to let him sell them in his store at a marked-up price. Alvin agrees, and George sets to work selling the calendars.

Meanwhile, Louise Jefferson is concerned about the calendar's impact on women, particularly young girls who may be influenced by the images they see. She worries that the calendar sends the wrong message about what women should be aspiring to in terms of their careers. She tries to persuade George to stop selling the calendars, but he is too caught up in the potential profits to listen.

As the days go by, the women in the calendar start to cause some trouble. They come to George's store, demanding to see their pictures, and when they find out about the markup, they get upset. George tries to smooth things over, but he can't escape the negative attention the calendar brings.

Meanwhile, Helen Willis gets a hold of one of the calendars and decides to use it to her advantage. She enters a beauty contest and uses the calendar as her talent. She does well in the contest, but she is later approached by Louise, who tells her that using the calendar for personal gain isn't sending the right message either.

As tensions rise, George has to decide whether to stand by his decision to sell the calendars or to let them go and focus on more respectable business ventures. The episode is full of laughs, but it also touches on some serious issues about gender roles and the way women are portrayed in the media.

In the end, George decides to stop selling the calendars, realizing that it was a mistake to get involved in something that sends the wrong message about women. It's a small victory, but it speaks volumes about the importance of standing up for what's right, even when it's not the easy thing to do. The Jeffersons season 7 episode 9, "Calendar Girl," is a classic example of how a simple comedy can do more than just make us laugh.
