Where i was from Richmond, Va you had only 3 channels and a few on the UHF channels. It was channel 6 was WTVR. was CBS.There location in Richmond, Va on Broad Street. channel 8 was WXEX ABC the call sign was changed in the 80's and there new building was moved from Petersburg to Chesterfield off of Midlothian turnpike. Channel 12 was WTBS network station NBC on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond,Va. In the early 80's is when the Fox network started up and you could only see it on the UHF Channels Fox was on 35 and 65 of course you could also see on the UHF channels shows like Sesame street the muppets and other things on the Public Broadcasting channel. Like that guy with the curly hair painting with putty knives and other instruments as well as numerous paint brushes. I tell you he could paint a landscape like know other. His trees looked real. When FOX Channel first came there were no commercials no news and they had all types of shows but mostly movies and they were not blurred or bleeped out at all. I was barely a teenager and i lived pretty close to the main networks they had like 8 to 10 satellites out in front the big ones 8 or more feet in diameter. Later when i was about 19 I worked in a clothing store called kuppenheimer's men's clothing and we had all the anchor men come in and they bought their clothing from me. They had like a $8,000 thousand to $12,000 expense per anchor person. I used to give them free ties and shirts to help the deal go through boy i love those paychecks. Our company ended up getting a corporate account with the different networks. Kuppenheimer was owned by heart Schaefer and marks their suits sold for over $2,000 but as kuppenheimer's we basically sold the same suits. Our most expensive suit was the premiere worsted wool suit fully lined it sold for $225. Fun times but sorry about this buddy i have insomnia and it's like 4:00 a.m. and i realized that I'm rambling on. I guess you get caught up in the Memories and now that I'm a empty nester with my boys that i had the privilege of raising are gone now and in the MILITARY. It's something that all generations have done. Dame there i go again sorry about that. Well i hope some of this may have given you some history or information that is probably useless. Well have a great day and wish you all well. Goodnight!! #( Memories)!!

As a kid, I could only rarely watch the shows completely through, and then only if there was nothing else on the "other three channels (the 3 networks)", or the other PBS that my grandparents TV occasionally got. But I would often check back frequently to see how his happy little accidents were progressing...and wishing that I had the patience and maturity and sophistication to watch the episodes all the way through. Because I thought that was an important part of me growing up...being able to watch cultural and artistic things, without being bored to almost tears. Sometimes I could manage it. Only sometimes though. You may be interested to know, if you don't already, that the Bob Ross show "The Joy of Painting" is on KZread. Looks like all the episodes are here. For free.

"Sanford and Son" was one of my favorites in the 70's and yes, Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) did say those things on television. It was on the same time as "All in the Family" and this time in US history was when civil rights were being tested and human prejudices were being identified and laughed at because people were coming out from behind their masks. Redd Foxx was a good friend of Aunt Esther in real life and wanted her to play Aunt Esther. The Golden Girls came later and was definitely calmer toward racial insults. Sanford and Son addressed all kinds of subjects but acted like no one was watching and this is how Fred talked behind closed doors. The same with "All in the Family". They were both funny but addressed openly what people might have said behind closed doors.

Man Sanford & Son was a great show!! Loved it! Love your old tv show reactions! Man you need to check out the show “All in the family”! Another great 70’s tv show!

My grandmother lived through the war in Sicily. I spent one summer living with her when I went to go work in construction for my cousins. We would watch Sanford and sons on her little tv with rabbit ear antennas. No one made her laugh like Redd Foxx. He and Benny Hill were her favorite. She's gone now. Watching this made me remember that special summer with her. Especially the way she would be appalled by these girls coming knocking on the door asking for me. She was very old school. Thanks for posting :))

YES THEY DID..WATCH A EPISODE OF ALL IN THE FAMILY OR JEFFERSONS...NO HOLDING BACK BACK THEN.

Redd Foxx was a comedic genius. And a talented actor. I never heard my dad laugh as loud and hard as this show made him laugh. The gorilla cookies joke almost killed him.

Fred Sanford is hilarious. I remember watching these shows over and over growing up.

Sanford and Son was one of my favorite shows back in the day. I almost never missed an episode! In those days comedians could get away with a lot more than they could ever do today.

Growing up watching Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford, & George Jefferson, everyone was game for an insult. Every race, nationality, and religion. Everyone knew there were differences in these groups, that created the stereotypes, so the stereotypes were used as jokes. Today too many people want to ignore the differences... different isn't worse, but different. The best comedians still highlight these differences.

This was normal prime time tv. Loved Sanford and Son, one of the best comedies back then, still love it today.

I am of the generation who loved this type of humor. People didn't take themselves so serious at that time to be offended so easily. What made it so funny is that these programs used realistic humor to show the absurdity of human biases and behaviors. Sitcoms then were downright funny and there were a lot of spinoffs where some of the characters were given their own shows, too.

Sanford & Son was hilarious! Aunt Ester was Fred's sister-in law, his wife's sister. This show was rated G compared to his comedy act! Trust me! Red Foxx's albums from his live show's were Rated XXX for real!

I grew up with Sanford and Son, Archie Bunker. It was comic gold. Today, none of these shows could be put on television because everyone is so offended by everything so easily.

The gift scene reminds me of my grandpa, a very "thrifty" man. One year for Christmas he bought himself a new flashlight that came with a free pocket knife, and the free knife was my Christmas gift.

Grew up on this show, the Jeffersons, All in the Family. All three were controversial for their time (especially All in the Family - the producers thought Norman Lear wanted to commit suicide when he suggested this show. They gambled on it and WON big time!). You know, gymnastics has changed so drastically since the 1970s - it's all about daredevil dangerous tumbles and less about ballet-style moves - but at least there are KZread videos where I can go and watch Nadia Comaneci and Olga Korbut. I miss that kind of gymnastics. I feel the same way about comedy - it's dead today. When I want to laugh, I come to KZread. Oh memories of yesteryear. I wonder if we will ever recover from this!

Great video. Fills me with joy watching you laugh at a comedy legend. Redd Foxx was so much more than these clips. True, he was a comic genius but he was even more of a wonderful human being. I miss him more now than ever.

Sanford & Son was one of my favorite show's growing up..

We had some GREAT tv shows in the 70s. All in the Family and Sanford and Son---absolutely the best!!!!

Yes, that's Mr Miyagi. He was a standup comedian (before Karate Kid), and Fred (Redd Foxx) discovered him, and gave him a guest spot on Sanford & Son. They were good friends on the comedy circuit. And yes, these episodes aired with those words. In the 1970s people weren't so afraid of words...lol.
