Modeled immediately after the British Tv show Steptoe And Son, the series showcased the underappreciated talents of comic genius Redd Foxx (whose skin color and poor language prevented him from becoming a superstar decades earlier). The brainchild of All In The Loved ones creator Norman Lear, Sanford And Son signaled the starting of a decade of sitcom classics for the prolific 1970's Television writer - Maude (1972), Great Times (1974), and The Jeffersons (1975) getting the other individuals. Wrought with memorable 1-liners and effectively-timed humor, Sanford And Son was a Prime 10 Nielsen rated show every single year in which it aired except for its final season (ranking a respectable #27) jt foxx
Sanford And Son, set in the Watts district of Los Angeles, follows the life of Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx), a 65-year-old African-American junk dealer who shares his company with his 34-year-old son Lamont (Demond Wilson). With Fred's wife Elizabeth getting passed away twenty years earlier, he frequently evokes Lamont's sympathy by clutching his heart and proclaiming, "Oh, I'm coming to join you Elizabeth!" But Fred usually survives those near fatal heart attacks, continuing to disperse sarcastic putdowns (frequently directed at his sister-in-law Esther) and racist stereotypical remarks aimed against whites and Hispanics (specifically Lamont's friend Julio). Using guilt to manipulate his ambitious son into staying and helping run the salvage shop rather of pursuing other endeavors, Fred Sanford spends most of his days lounging around the home (his junk store and residence are 1 and the very same) and hanging out with his close friends - Grady, Melvin, and Bubba Nicely-written and hilarious, Sanford & Son is comedian Redd Foxx at his absolute best jt foxx

The Sanford And Son DVD attributes a number of hilarious episodes such as the series premiere "Crossed Swords" in which Lamont purchases a collectible porcelain figure from a silent film star for $15. When he and Fred get the statuette appraised, they decide that they can fetch a bundle for it if they put it up for auction, but whilst at the auction, the two decide to pose as buyers to bid up the price tag, a selection that ends up costing them Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "The Copper Caper" in which Fred and Lamont obtain their own copper from a man who's been stealing the metal all across town, and "A Pad for Lamont" in which Lamont decides to move into his personal apartment for privacy reasons. At initial, Fred is upset - till he learns he enjoys getting some time to himself jt foxx
