never the show itself, Sanford and Son. They mentioned the Waltons so why not Sanford and Son? The closet someone came to mentioning Sanford and Son was in the TV Commercial episode. read below


Thelma: "Yeah mom just like Redd Foxx is not really a junkman, he is just playing the part of someone who owns a junkyard"

maybe because it was on CBS and Sanford and Son was on NBC?

But they still mentioned his name and what type of show he was on-lol They said everything but the name

Why give free promotion to a show that wasn't on their network?

But they did come close to doing it-lol

True, but if you never heard od S & S and heard Thelma say that, you wouldn't know what the heck she was talking about.

But it's still kind of confusing as to why Redd Foxx was mentioned so many times anyway.

He was a big star in the 70's.

In the 70's Redd Foxx was a huge comedian who was know for his raw and dirty jokes, that may be the reason.

Good going Brian and Brieannas...My sentiments exactly. Redd Foxx was first and foremost known as a comedian before Sanford and Son. Also, the CBS and NBC thing. I also believe he was a good friend of Esther Rolle.

In one of the episodes, it had Sweet Daddy, It was a marathon episode where somebody said isn't this sweet just like the Waltons .
Florida said "No we're not their nice we're mean."
