That caught me off guard when she casually rolled that out in at least one episode...if it were a 2007 cable series about urban youths I could see it being bandied about but in the early 1970's as part of a comedy show it was pretty jarring.

It is jarring now because we are more sensitive to the word (as we should be). Back then we had Richard Pryor who rolled that word off his tongue in his comedy routines all the time.

I only remember her using it one time, toward big money grip

Thanks, that must be the episode I was thinking of and since I haven't seen them all I wondered if she did so in other ones.

Nope, that was the only episode

on tv land version she was dubbed she said after big money grip told her lamont was his son she stood up n said what did u say sucker n word was replaced with sucker instead of well u know

I nervery heard her use that word

Was it Fred who said "Get your mind out of the gutter so mine can float by"? I'm trying to remember where I heard that.

I know Fred used that word at least once. I checked the DVDs out of the library and was stunned to hear that word. Of course, there's no way you could say that word on TV now without Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson starting a picket line!

True, if a white person said it. That's one of society's big double-standards. Nobody should use that word.

Very true. I also (FINALLY) got to see the 1978 Gregory Sierra series AES Hudson Street. One character was adamant about not wanting a "n***** doctor". :eek: I was still startled to hear that.

Fred said it twice on the episode "Fred Sanford, Legal Eagle" (where Lamont goes to court to fight a traffic ticket, and Fred tries to defend him.)
