View Full Version : Question for anyone who watched the spinoff "Sanford Arms"
TVFactFan 12-30-2005, 10:36 AM Do you think it was odd that this show was considered a spinoff since the Family living inside the House was featured a lot more than Esther, Bubba, and Grady? I mean I didn;t get the spinoff vibe at all just seemed like a new show with a family moving in the Sanford Home. I don;t think a House can be spun off can it?-LOL
MikeLutton 01-06-2006, 12:13 AM well it kind of can if u remember 704 Hauser street Archie Bunker old house on All in the family it did same thing a family like bunkers moved in who was black and it was differnt but it wasnt a spin off like sanford and son more like a remake or another version.

Still didn't have that spinoff feel.

You got me on that one, I don't even remember any of the episodes. I wouldn't mind seeing this show on dvd.

Well I'm still waiting, the 6th season of Sanford and son was released in June and still 7 months later, no news on the 2 Sanford and Son spinoffs

Mainly because the lead character on Sanford Arms was never on Sanford and Son.

exactly. I think the kids were in more scenes than Bubba, and Bubba was in more scenes than Aunt Esther.

The episode with the Grandparents, when I first watched that ep I thought the grandfather was Redd Fooxx-lol It looked like it could be him and I got excited thinking he was making a guest apperance-lol

I didn't think he looked anything like Redd Foxx, but that would have been a good way to guest start on it without playing Fred. I thought the Grandfather was funny. He really did not like his wife.

Don't know if you knew this but the Grandmother made an apperance on Good Times, the Jeffersons, and Sanord and Son.
