No, it was never the same show.
The Jeffersons was never All in the Family and All in the Family was never the Jeffersons.
Spin-off does not mean it was the same show. It means there were actors that were on both shows, but it's impossible that they were the same shows. That's just stupid.
Interestingly, both Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy were spin-offs of Happy Days (who also had Joanie loves Chachi) 3 spinoffs from one show (that I can remember, there may have been more) has to be some sort of record. (Star Trek, CSI, and Law & Order are franchises, not spinoffs - that's a different thing altogether)
