I see why he only lasted 1 season. He had no personality. Most of his lines came from agreeing with Fred and quoting others. But Slappy White was talented. They should have polished him off and brought him back for occasionally appearences.

Yea I agree. He really didn't have the personality of some of Fred's other friends.

I third it. He could have been funnier. After all Slappy and Redd were partners from way back. :)

At least he was better than Fred's last two sidekicks. I did'nt have anything for Hutch and that Elroy character was as dull as dishwater.

Who was Elroy? Do you mean Leroy?

It was Elroy.
Hutch & Elroy were 2 of Fred's friends in the 5th season. They appeared together in the escort service episode.
Elroy also happens to be Redd Foxx's real middle name. (John Elroy Sanford)
