Sanford and Son

[Eric83]

FAVORITE sitcom of the 70's, with Good Times and All in the Family not too far behind.

Watched all the seasons a little while ago, lots of fun moments. One of my favorites would have to be when that guy shows up claiming that he's Lamont's father and Esther goes off on him. My all time favorite is "The Party Crasher" where Lamont and Rollo's dates end up taking more interest in Fred.

THIS is my [!@#$%^&*]. Fred vs. Esther owns ALL.

Loved the episode where Bubba saw Lamont and Rollo go into The Gay Blade (gay bar). LMAO

That one was hilarious! Fred was so heartbroken! It's on YouTube, I watched it a few months ago.

The Gay Blade episode was so funny, but the funniest part was the fact that BUBBA was always the one who pinged on my 'dar! I loved the round, voluptuous, afro'd lady friend he was with when he saw Lamont and Rollo go inside the club.

I loved that Fred had like a million different catchphrases/routines and NONE of them were played out or lame or obnoxious. "Fred G. Sanford, and the G. stands for...", combining things with Ripple, the drawer full of eyeglasses, calling people "sucka," threatening to punch somebody, and of course, the heart attack bit.

I don't even remember what episode it was but remember when Fred and Lamont were reading about this fancy party that they were invited to (I think it was some kind of junkman or businessman banquet or something) and they come across the word "hors d'ouevres." Fred says "horse divers" and Lamont's all "That's not 'horse divers,' that's whores di ovaries."

Another fave is when Lamont was in some community production of Othello, and his white co-star came over to the house, and Fred had a fit. She brought them over to her house so she and Lamont could practice, and Fred asked where the tv was. He opened the door to the bedroom of her parents.

This show was so funny, I loved all the recurring characters the show had.

My faves were the two cops. The white one would always say something, and the black cop had to translate for everybody. What were their names again?

I also found the scenes with Fred and Julio funny as well.

What was Pat Morita's character named? The episode where they open a Japanese restaurant in the house is another funny one.

Oh and when they hired the white maid.

[All My Shadows]

The black cop was Smith (aka Smitty). They had two white cops who were basically the same character. The first was one was Swanhauser (aka Swanny) and the second one was Hopkins (aka Hoppy). Hoppy's mom was played by Nancy Kulp and moved into the Sanford Arms.

Pat Morita's character was named Ah Chew

And now for some reason, I'm remembering when Julio came over once, he greeted Fred with "Buenos dias, Mr. Sanford," and Fred goes, "And beans and disease to you, too!" Too funny.

[SFK]

Pat Morita was Ah-Chew.

I'm forgetting the cops' names but Nancy Kulp (Miss Jane Hathaway) plays the white one's sister (or was it mother/aunt?) and joins the cast of The Sanford Arms which I have never seen. Hal Smith (Lester, 227) played the black cop.
