"I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth"!

Aunt Esther was one o' the funniest! I heard some of Red Foxx's old material. Very funny.

not being allowed to curse back then must have made them very creative.

The episode3 with the coffin• "Coffins for Sale"
Lamont sees dollar signs in reselling coffins, but superstitious Fred wants nothing to do with it—sleeping outside until the caskets are sold. Courageous Lamont quickly loses his nerve when his imagination takes over. Note: First appearance of Fred's best friend Melvin, played by comedian Slappy White.iun the house is just brillant

Love Aunt Esther! Incidentally I used to work for her niece!

I watched every episode. Loved that show.

Wonder if it's available in dvd

I just got the Sanford And Son DVD set with all six seasons, I love this show.


I've only watched the entire first season so far, my favorite episode from that season has to be "A Pad For Lamont" - Fred kept cock-blocking Lamont when he had some female company over and that shit is mad funny.

I liked Rollo!

Yep. I have all 6 seasons on DVD. I watch season 3 A LOT. That was definitely my favorite season. Ironically, it was the season when Redd was having a contract dispute and he only did about half of the episodes. Grady filled in for the rest.

Some of my favorite episodes are:
"Lamont, is that you" - It is when Lamont and Rollo went to the gay club after them "hanging out" at the XXX movie.

"The Party" - This is the one where Lamont and Rollo entertain 2 women from Detroit and they try to impress them with Bojole (BOO-JO-LAY) wine, peanuts and potato chips. Well, the ladies are from the hood and enjoy Fred's onion stew and ripple more.

A lot of the early episodes where Paul Mooney and Richard Pryor were writers were classics. Those episodes pushed the button on so many different levels. From referring to Julio (the neighbor) as a "wetback" to using the n-word in general conversation (saying a cop in Beverly Hills is hell on a nigga).

To me Sanford and Son is the best sitcom in TV history. It was genius on so many different levels.

If you don't own the DVDs, catch it on TV Land or TV-One everyday.

I loved that episode. That's the episode where Lamont gets a ticket for running a red light. They get legal advice from "Huggie Bear".

The more you watch, you'll see that is a common theme. They cock-blocked for each other.

I don't have one favorite episode, yet I've been watching since I was a baby when I rocked to the theme song. Ironically, I'm watching it right now on TVOne. The episode is "Superflier"(1973), "A $1500 inheritance waits for Fred in St. Louis, if he can screw up enough courage to take an airplane trip to pick it up." Although one of my favorite lines has to do with Ripple. Ripple + Champagne= Champipple.

Beaujolais

Good stuff.

Great show.

Wow. It is too many. But since I only get one episode, I would say the one where Grady gets a girlfriend and she was ugly as heck. Fred and Lamont clowned on Grady.
