Do you think the actor Gregory Sierra could've made a bit more of a difference on this show or was it just a bad idea from the beginning???

Maybe it would've lasted longer, but I don't think it would've been a hit because of one simple reason: Fred and Lamont weren't there. Besides, I think Chano from Barney Miller was a stronger character with more range for Gregory Sierra to work with. :D

Probibly not. Unless pepole won't mind seeing him again on another show. He was on All The Family was he? By The way this spin off only lasted 2 months!

Julio's existence served no purpose on a show without FRED and LAMONT

I agree with the others here. All the spin offs were doomed with out Fred and Lamont together. They were the Dynamic Duo of Watts! :lol:

Sanford Arms was like

The Jeffersons without George and Weezy in season 12

Good Times without Esther Rolle and Jimmie Walker in season 7

Whats happening without Raj and Rerun in season 4


:lol:

TRUE!! :lol:

And the Sanford residence at 9114 South Central belonged to Fred and Lamont. It was so unnatural seeing others living there . . .

I know, who the hell would have wanted to see different people living in the Jeffersons house while Bentley still came over to borrow things.


BTW: The Ratings for Sanford Arms was #100 which is why it only lasted 4 weeks LOL

Did you like "Sanford"? That was another show I couldn't get into. Once again, I think the Fred/Lamont team was imperative.

Sanford wasn't a spinoff it was a revival series and I loved it. I have all 26 eps on DVD. Just a shame it didn't last longer

I didn't realize there were 26 episodes in all. I've only seen a few when Bet aired the series several years ago.

Sanford was a good show. Not as good as the original but it was funny. Fred & Cal worked pretty good together. As for Sanford Arms, I know I saw all the episodes but I can't remember much about it. I guess that says it all. lol
