Checking In
From Free net encyclopedia
Checking In was a short-lived 1981 television sitcom and spinoff of The Jeffersons, which itself had spun off from All in the Family.
In the series, the Jeffersons' maid Florence Johnston (played by Marla Gibbs) accepted a job to become the executive housekeeper at the fictional St. Frederick Hotel in Manhattan.
Checking In lasted for only four episodes in April 1981. Faced with low ratings, the series was swiftly canceled. Gibbs went back to star on The Jeffersons as the character of Florence returned to her former job with the Jeffersons and the St. Frederick Hotel was said to have burned down.
