I know I saw this guy on at least a few S&S episodes and many other bit parts along the way. Always had the 'fat, long haired, redneck, biker' look. Reality TV will never compare to the 'good ol' days'. thanks for the assist.

There was a guy on SANFORD, not S&S who fits your description. He was Cal, Fred's partner who purchased Lamont's half of the business when he left to work on the Alaskan pipeline. I hope this helps.

Lamont working on a Alaskan pipeline?:lol: What a corny way to write him off the show. (even thought he left personally)

The funny thing about Sanford was Lamont couldn't even make a guest apperance because it would have been Sanford and Son all over again.

yeah i know.:lol: The way i see it.....Sanford and Son couldve lasted into the early 80's in my opinon.

Fred's heart attack would have been a good guest appearance for Lamont. Seems he would come home for something like that. If the show had lasted longer, maybe Lamont would have shown his face as a guest.

The way I understood it, Redd Foxx was always angry at the producers about how much they paid him. That's why he was out for part of a season. After the show where Fred graduates from Night School, I heard he decided to leave and that was the last of the show.

Even for a season ending episode, Fred getting his highschool diploma was A WEAK episode idea.

Anybody else catch the promos that they put on some of these DVD's? When they are plugging Sanford & Son there is a quick clip of a Sanford episode! Cal sitting on the couch laughing. Ridiculous. Somebody really dropped the ball on that one.

You must be talking about the season 6 DVD

I'd have to go back and look. It was on several of the DVD's I think. I just thought it was really strange that they were advertising Sanford & Son on DVD and someone was dumb enough to let a clip from Sanford slip in.

Well I watched every second of the first 5 seasons on DVD and I'm 98% sure that Sanford Clip was on the Season 6 DVD. DVD that I still need to get-lol

If you have any Jeffersons, Good Times or All In The Family check those too. I've seen it more than once I'm sure.

It's also on the 2nd season of Married...with Children DVD. It has a promo saying the first 3 seasons of Sanford and Son are available, and they show Cal in the promo.

After seeing sanford i like that setup better than Sanford and Son. I could have never got tired of hearing fat jokes-lol

LOL- That's true. I was surprised to see Cal (Dennis Burkley) on an episode of Maude. He was playing a redneck gun salesman who's trying to sell everyone in Maude's neighborhood a gun for protection.

That episode of Maude must be after 1975

Yeah, I believe it was either late in the 4th season or early in the 5th, probably 1976/77

The hunt is now on for that episode. I also saw Cal play in a episode of Who's the Boss and Fresh Prince

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0122036/

I dont remember no Fat White Guy

To be specific, it's from the 4th season:

Ep. #105. The Rip Off
First aired: 12/13/1976
Writer: Tom Adair, Charles Tanner
Director: Hal Cooper
Guest star: Abraham Alvarez (Officer Murphy/Officer Lopez), Dennis Burkley (Eddie Hanks), Alan Hewitt (Chick Sears)

Maude's home is robbed, but she does not want her friends and neighbors to resort to guns to protect their homes.

He was in a 2nd season episode of Dukes Of Hazzard. He assists in kidnapping Loretta Lynn.

I saw him in a Family Matters epsode once too. He played a repairman.

Sanford was only 1 season right? And it is NOT out on DVD yet, correct?

Sanford lasted two seasons. From January of 1980 to June of 1981. No it's not out on DVD but lots of people have the show on VHS or DVD because Sanford aired on BET in 1994. Out of the 26 eps of Sanford that was made, I have 19 on VHS.

Wow, nice retro. Think they will ever put it back on TV sometime?

No I doubt it. I think the BET airings in the 90's was the last time
