the actor who played Rollo as Fred Sanford's son rather than the actor who played Lamont?

No, I think they got it right on the show. They got the right actors for Rollo and Lamont.

I just felt that Lamont was a wee bit too whiny for my tastes.

I just can't picture anybody else being Lamont.

I hear what you are saying, I guess it's more of a "what if" scenario.

Ok. If Rollo was Fred's son they could have had it as the hip cool son against the old fashioned Fred G. Sanford. Rollo was one cool dude!

No. I think it was fine just the way it was. but i do think Rollo should have had more parts in the show because he and Fred was so funny working together. Can you imagine Fred having a dope smoking son. LOL They would of never had something like that in the show.

Years ago I probably would have agreed with you, but now I think they got it right on who should play the right parts. I mean, you have an uptight no personality 30-something son setting his 60- something year-old funny father up for jokes.

I think Nathaniel Taylor should have played the Son and Sherman Hemsley should have played ROLLO or WOODY

lol

:yeahthat

Yeah I think he would have made a great WOODY

Perhaps...but Rollo?

I think they got it right. D. Wilson was a better actor than Rollo IMO.

As for Lamont's whining, I think the shows writers ran out of reactions to Freds outrageous comments and behavior. The whining or anger he repeated were the most natural responses.

Chris :)

Perhaps...but Rollo?

now are you going to tell me he wasn't cool enough to play Rollo?-lol

No, but I think a Rollo spinoff would've been hilarious. :lol:

No, I like the way it was with Demond Wilson playing Lamont. N. Taylor played his character Rollo well - he was cool, acted like a ladies man, and was possibly involved with some illegal activities.....;)

Well, I gotta admit, Rollo was cooler...

dont to knock up a old thread but i was watching this on you tub where are they now and i saw at the end Johnny brown was considerd to play lamont sanford brown was bookman on good times that would been funny here is the link.
