Sanford and Son - The Third Season Reviews
The relationship that had existed between Redd Foxx and his character Fred Sanford was uniquely ironic.
One thing about this show about which I find particularly interesting is that Redd Foxx, the performer who played the lead character Fred Sanford, always had to pretend that he was having "the big one," that is, a heart attack. A vast majority of the 120+ episodes of this television show, which one can still view on TV Land today, consists of Redd's Fred going around saying something like, "Oh, this is the big one!" However, the interesting or ironic part of the story is that when Redd Foxx passed away, it was due to a heart attack, only this time, he was not faking.
My Name Is Fred G. Sanford And This Here Is U.G. Lee
The quotes from this 5-star series are endless. The title of this review is a lonely sample of the hilarious zingers that Fred (Redd Foxx) would make in reference to Aunt ("watch it sucker!") Esther.
Laughs abound in these wonderfully crafted episodes that covered all issues from family values to cultural difference and made great fun of every subject.
Sanford and Son was way ahead of its time for a 1972 debut. Creator Norman Lear (The Jeffersons, Good Times and more) had a great formula with All In The Family, and he applied it perfectly to Sanford and Son.
If you're unfamiliar with this sitcom, bottom line is that Fred runs a junkyard with his son, Lamont, and Fred's wife passed away leaving the two men to also run the household. But who could possibly not have at least seen a rerun of this classic show with its memorable theme tune?
This collection is as ageless as it is priceless. Some of the season 3 and season 4 episodes are without Redd Foxx due to contract issues, and that was a shame and absolutely effected the genius of the show. Thank goodness it was only a total of 8 or 9 episodes.
And, speaking of price, at the time of this writing it seems a bit cheaper if you buy all 6 DVD seasons separately instead of the 6-season box set that Amazon is offering.
Either way, hit the add to cart button. This is the big one! I'm comin', Elizabeth!
