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 premiered on April 9, 1981. It lasted for only four episodes. Faced with low ratings, the series was swiftly canceled, ending the show on April 30, 1981. Gibbs went back to star on The Jeffersons as the character of Florence returned to her former job with the Jeffersons, where it was explained that the St. Frederick Hotel had burned down.

It was the rare All in the Family-related series that wasn't a success like The Jeffersons, Maude and Good Times.
