I miss this fuckin' show





Everytime that ol' sick motherfucker opens his mouth in front of Aunt Esther lol I'm ROTFF

LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther) is my absolute favorite. You should check out her comedy album, "Mutha Is Half A Word".

Somebody give the sucka a spoon

WHICH I'M SURE WAS THE MAIN TOPIC OF YOUR THREAD SO IT DOESN'T GET MOVED...RIGHT?

That being said...Thank goodness for the TVLand channel.



Fred Sanford: On behalf of Elizabeth, would you care for something to eat?
Aunt Esther: Oh I wouldn't mind a little snack.
Fred Sanford: Son, go in the kitchen and fix your Aunt Esther a fish-head sandwich!


Fred Sanford: Listen, Esther. In the first place, you can't enter that contest because your not eligible. See one of the things you have to be is a part of a certain race.
Woody Anderson: What race?
Fred Sanford: Human!
Lamont Sanford: She's gonna be competing with her own peers.
Fred Sanford: Her Peers?
Lamont Sanford: Yes.
Fred Sanford: You mean Godzilla is in the contest?


Fred Sanford: Goodbye, dear
Aunt Esther: Oh, you called me dear.
Fred Sanford: Why shouldn't I call you DEER? You look like Bambi's father!

Aunt Esther: What's wrong with my posture?
Fred Sanford: It's full of prune pits!


Fred Sanford: Polly-Esther - that's you. Half woman, half parrot!


Fred Sanford: Who is it?
Aunt Esther: It's Esther!
Fred Sanford: Esther who?
Aunt Esther: You know Esther who! Open this door fool!
Fred Sanford: I can't open the door!
Aunt Esther: Why not?
Fred Sanford: You too ugly!

Aunt Esther: I cant believe it, you with a mop in your hand? Its about time you faced up to this mess.
Fred Sanford: Speaking of facing up to this mess, who messed up this face?

Grady Wilson: She can't stay here, because there isn't any room.
Aunt Esther: That's what they told the baby Jesus but they found him a place.
Grady Wilson: Okay, I'll build you a little manger out in the back yard and get you some sheep to sleep with.

Grady Wilson: Fred told me to keep you out of this garden.
Aunt Esther: Oh he did huh?
Grady Wilson: Yea, Fred said just because he planted a garden of Eden, there was no reason to let the serpent in.

Aunt Esther: The next time you see that creep Woodrow, you tell him his behind is grass... and I am the lawnmower.

Aunt Esther: You are a messy fool.
Fred Sanford: You are a sessy pool.

Fred Sanford: Esther what are you doing here?
Aunt Esther: What do you mean what am I doing here?
Fred Sanford: Well Wolfwoman don't come out till there's a full moon.

Fred Sanford: [Sees Esther] There's got to be some mistake. This isn't my Leana this is someone's Hiiena

Fred Sanford: [to Ah Chew and Esther] My two favorite diseases in the same room. Yellow Jaundice and the Black Plague.


Donna Harris: Where are you going?
Fred Sanford: [drunk] St. Louis. On the banks of the Misississippi. M-I-S... I-S-S... M-O-U-S-E.

Fred Sanford: I'll do it, but on one condition.
Lamont Sanford: And that is?
Fred Sanford: I want a white dentist.
Lamont Sanford: What did you say?
Fred Sanford: You heard me, I want a white dentist.
Lamont Sanford: Well what makes you think you're going to get a black dentist?
Fred Sanford: You said it was a free clinic, didn't you? Where you think you're gonna find a black dentist? In Beverly Hills?
Lamont Sanford: Wasn't you the guy who told me once that you didn't want nothing white but milk?
Fred Sanford: Well my tooth wasn't hurting then. I want the best available dentist for my tooth. Now just by coincidence, the best dentist schools are of the white people, by the white people, and for the white people. Now don't it seem likely that the best dentist would be white? White dentist, please?

Fred Sanford: Hey, what do you have against black drivers? Why don't you ever arrest any white drivers?
Policeman: I do.
Fred Sanford: Well where are they? I don't see any. Look at all these niggers up in here. 'Got enough niggers to make a Tarzan movie.


Fred Sanford: Take out the trash Rollo.
Rollo Larson: Where is it Mr. Sanford?
Fred Sanford: It's in your shoes!

Oh shit

Damn that motherfucker lol I mean god rest his soul but damn him

I love the episode where Fred is out of town and Grady is in charge. Esther asks Grady if she could hold her bible meeting in the house and Grady told her she couldn't. She got mad and called him an unholy sinner and a heatheness foul Philistine.

"Lionel Ritchie got Zachly disease."

"Zachly disease?"

"Yeah, his face look zakly like my ass!"



There will never be another Redd Foxx.

I love this thread.

Watch it sucka!!!

I like how the show was set in Watts.

But, I don't know too many people in L.A. with two-story houses though.

I wouldn't think so either. Wasn't "What's Happening" set in Watts also? That was a two story house also.

I find it interesting that a lot of black-themed shows of the '70s were set in the inner city (primarily, the ghetto) like Sanford & Son, Good Times, What's Happening!, That's My Mama, etc. Then in the '80s, blacks on TV were largely working class, but were tiptoeing into the middle class (Amen, 227 -- with the exception of the Cosby Show, which was an upper middle class family). In the '90s, blacks on TV were staunchily middle class (Family Matters, Thea, Me & The Boys, In The House) and now today blacks on TV are fully suburbanized (My Wife & Kids, The Bernie Mac Show, The Hughleys, The Parkers, etc).

Damn,,,,neva thought of it that way. But you're right

Even tho The Jeffresons was a different mold from the 70's shows.

One of the Greatest shows of all time. I didn't know Aunt Esther used to be a stripper before the show until I saw it on E!Hollywood story. I remember her cameo on Amazing Stories the movie too.
