Born 1993, 26 y/o and have been watching every bit of Sanford & son for years. The show is timeless and the acting is flatout perfect.

Can't have shows like this or Archie Bunker or the Jeffersons any more. We laughed our asses off at these shows.

Officer: "Were they colored?" Fred (after giving him an incredulous look): "Yeah . . . white." Pure comedy gold right there from good old Redd, one of the all-time greats.

This is the only sitcom that's really made me laugh.

LOVE that practically all 70's sitcoms took a chance and played upon all stereotypes...

Lamont:Four! Fred:Four. Officer Swanny:Four? Fred:Is that too many?

We don't have character actors anymore like Noam Pitlik (1932-1999). He was also a regular on Hogan's Heroes, sometimes as an American, sometimes as a German. They didn't worry about continuity.

Fred Sanford is hilarious? I like the episode when a customer asked who was the young Lady? He said, Oh thats Esther Kong; King's first wife!😂😂😂😂

People don't know what real comedy is anymore. There was a time when people didn't get so butt hurt over every comment that was made on tv but took it in stride because they found it just as funny as everyone else.

Half of what makes it so funny is the comedic timing! 😂

In this same episode, Swannie asks Fred does he need to go to doctor to get checked out. Fred says " no I'm alright, I can't waste three days". Swannie say's "It'll only take you a few minutes". Fred says "It only takes y'all a few minutes, it takes us three days in the waiting room" Every time I hear him say that I almost die, because I know exactly what he's talking about. You can go in the morning and don't get out till damn near night if you go to one of the clinics in the hood.

You're right -- he's damn good. I've seen him in a lot of stuff too from back in the day. He deserves a lot of credit here for the way he memorized and delivered those deadpan, long-winded, machine gun lines with a straight face -- especially the lines that required translation by his partner.

Noam Pitlik was a great actor who had a long career he could do comedy or drama. Redd Foxx was also brilliant.

Bring back those real people times. All in the Family too. No more political correctness. No violence or threats but call people as you see them.

That translation is the funniest stuff I've ever seen on TV.

Redd foxx was a genious right up there with chaplin, keaton, laurel and hardy and Abbott and costello were pretty good too!!! And you can't leave red skelton out of this group either bottom line is they don't make comedy like they use too that's for sure!!! But Sanford and son is on level all by itself!!! Gods speed to all of them thanks for the laughs I'm sure their enjoying the after life with the almihhty!!!!!!!!!!

Fred G. Sanford rocks! Especially his infatuation with Lena the Horne!

The best scenes were of Fred and Esther flaming each other... 'Fred Sanford...... Yooooou a Heathen'.
