I was wondering if you noticed that some of the guest stars who appeared on Sanford and Son appeared in other episodes. Lester Fletcher who played the guy with the piano also appeared in the episode, "Tower Power" where Fred and Lamont go to the museum and he tells Fred to be quiet that he was trying to absorb this lecture and Fred says, "Absorb This" with his fist. Also the one who played the administrator of the old folks home in Home Sweet Home For The Aged also appeared in the Masquerade Party episode where she was in the audience and the game show host asked if she was wearing a wig,she was and got $200

It seems like they used a lot of the same people over and over again in different roles. That's kinda weird.

when lamont gets his first apartment the land lady that comes in and blows out his candle is Lynn Hamiliton.she later when on to play donna , freds finace.

the eposode where lamonts gets dummped at his wedding, the aunt that first comes in the door, also plays janets aunt that was visting when fred was going for the world record to stay awake.

the hooker that wants to rent from fred in the sanford arms that esther takes away later plays freds girllfriend in the next series "sanford"

the guy fred beats in the senior olympics also is in the "sanford"series as the girls brother
