Did you know Sanford Arms was ranked #39 after its first episode? And it was ranked higher than Fish that was ranked #51 out of 52 shows. I guess Sanford and Son fans was curious to see how the spinoff would look

After the second episode, Sanford Arms fell to #58 out of 61 shows and even lower than Fish that finished at #57

After the 3rd episode, Sanford Arms fell to #62 out of 68 show and was cancelled. But it managed to have higher ratings than the Redd Foxx Shows that was #68

The show would be pre-empted the next week for the world series and air one last time on Oct 14, 1977 and ranked #58 behind Richard Pryor at #57
