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

Well, they could always combined The Sanford Arms with Grady. That would make a nice dvd set, they have one disc shows out called TV favorites.

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

I was thinking the same thing. I think it is, but I can see where you would say its not really.

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.

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.
