Grady, the spinoff made no sense the way it was conceptualized. They made Grady “Gramps” and didn’t really give him a foil or someone he could really play off of. That’s what made Grady on Sanford and Son work. There was no conflict with his daughter, son-in-law or grandchildren. Everyone went out of their way to appease him. What’s the point of a sitcom and a character like Grady if there is no conflict?
