I would have to say these made me laugh the most: Card Sharps Fred is hilarious trying to keep lamont from playing cards

Tv Adict- I laughed myself silly at that one especially after Fred was under hypnosis and thinking about tv

Superflyer--Fred disrupts the whole airplane with his antics.

Fred: Oh, I ain't gonna make it!!!
(Passengers look around)
Fred: What's the matter with you people,haven't you seen anyone have a heart attack before???

Fred: Guess I won't be needing these chicken wings.
Lamont: Where did you get those???
Fred: I got these in case I got hungry on the trip,maybe the people in second class will want them.
Lamont: Please,Pop,no.
Fred: Does anybody in there want any chicken wings??? Chicken wings, you fool!!!:lol: :lol:

I agree :)
Card Sharks is hilarious

There are a number of episodes I love. Of course, I like all of them, but some are just a bit better than others.

These (and I'll probably leave some out and maybe post them later), are some of my favorites: (Note: I don't have all of the acutual titles at my disposal right now, but I think you'll know which ones I'm talking about)

The Pilot Episode
65 Today
Super Flyer
This House is Not a Pool Room (I think that's the title)
Whiplash
Pawning the Gun
X-Rated
Card Sharps (A.K.A. in my house as "Rooster and Hucklebuck")~~ Ya know when Fred asks: "I know what a Rooster does, but what does a Hucklebuck do?" That's just plain hilarious.
Piano Movers
The one when Fred Retirns from St. Louis (I think it's called Surprise Party) is my favorite of all, though. When he and Esther go at it, it's just classic.

Those are my choices for now. I'm sure I'll think of others.

i love the one where they go camping up in the mountians and the one where esther hit fred and he was writing out his will, can anyone tell me the names of those?

I think that episode is very funny!

all of them to me......

but ones that stick out in my mind are

the great sanford siege
by the numbers
a pad for lamont
tv or not tv
the card sharks
have gun will sell
the puerto ricans are coming
the shootout
rated x

& many more

Any one from the first 3 seasons (a lot of eps in the later seasons were funny, but not as many.)

I love the episode "A Guest in the Yard"
too (tvland always edits part of it grr)
Gus "I will never contribute to NAACP"
Fred (to Gus) "And I will never contribute to the KKK!!"

Other favs
Happy Birthday Pop
the camping trip
X Rated movie
Wheel and Deal (Grady in a dress!!)
the hawaiian connection parts 1 and 2
The Piano Movers
The Card Sharps

sylvia

I hate to disagree with ya bout one of your favs Sylvia but I never liked the Hawaiian connection and never understood why it was a three parter it just wasnt that funny and I have another Sanford and Son addict who agreed with me but your other choices were top notch.

1. THE WILL

Hi

another fav
Superflyer (havent caught that one in a long while)

My Favs

The Piano movers (ahhh ahhh ah not on the chair)
Aguest in the yard
This house is not a poolroom (Skillet will you get your belly off the table)
Coffins for sale (why don't you make two killings and get rid of both of them)
Fred Sanford, Legal Eagle
The merger

"The Greatest Show in Watts" is also a good one!

This is a good one
Fred is in Esther and Woodys hardware store and hes looking at the pretty sales girl behind a table of light bulbs and the Sales girls says- Sir do you like my display? Fred Smiling replies Why yes Salles Girl replies Why is that Sir Fred- Im from Watts

I love the "camping trip" show and also "the piano". Those are my favorite episodes. That "snakebite kit" joke makes me roll every time i hear it.

THE REVEREND SANFORD!!!

Esther (to Fred): You'd better not play with the Good Book, you ol' heathen, or the Lord will cast you into the fiery furnace.

Fred (to Esther): In that case, I'll also be available for exorcisms.

Lamont: A E I O U and sometimes Y!

Fred: All of you without sin.......go out and get some!

Fred: Brother against brother, sister against sister, Godzilla versus Gork.....Let us send the evil (and while looking at Esther) and the ugly away!

. . . Fred becomes a minister also!!! LOL! I just had to crack up on the one they showed last night on TV Land where Fred's old girlfriend, Jaunita, shows up and they get into an argument. Fred starts pointing his finger at her and she says, "Fred Sanford, don't you point your finger at my nose!" And Fred replies, "This is my house and I'll point my finger at your nose and my foot somewhere else!!!":lol: :lol: :happyface :D I also like that episode where the homeless guy camps out in their yard and when he is inside in the kitchen getting a drink of water while Fred is eating his danish at breakfast. The guy pats the danish with his hand and Fred doesn't want to eat it after that!:lol: :lol: :lol: Also, just about any "back and forth" between Ester and Fred makes it a memorable episode

Signed,
Respectfully,
Dutch

Another episode that I love is the one about the Blind Mellow Jelly records. Fred and Bubba are just hilarius. I like the scene when Fred and Bubba go back to the library to pull the Blind Mellow Jelly, Jr. stunt. It's funny when Fred gets into a little squabble with a guy trying to read something, as Fred & Bubba are talking and laughing all loud. Great stuff!

yeah, definitely the Blind mello jelly episode. that's the one that got me into S and S. My brother and I thought that was so funny because we collect old records and the premise was so silly. I like the way Lamont tries to sound more sophisticated on the phone with the record guy and Fred shows so class. I like the way they make fun of the guy in the record department in the library. The ending makes the whole thing come together, and when he's describing the records of Jelly in the beginning that funny too, like Shimmy shoo wop and it must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that!

Also the greatest episode of all time for me is the Engagement party when Fred whole family comes over. This is Classic S and S and even more Classic Esther, her funniest lines and performance. When she tells Woodrow "Woodrow, you came here with teeth!" That's like the funniest line I ever heard in a sitcom. It's the only episode where I've had a laughing fit, where I just kept laughing and couldn't stop until I wasn't in control of my body. You just sort of freeze up. that happens every time I see that. And then when he starts swinging that bat at the church ladies and Esther and the priest comes in and says "People are running away from here like there's a riot going on!"

My favorite episodes would have to be:

The Engagement: Lamont tries to stop Fred from marrying Donna so he invites his aunts to meet Donna. Favorite line from that episode: "Woodrow put that bottle down before I unscrew your wrist."

Mama's Baby Papa's Maybe: Big Money Grip comes to town to claim Lamont as his son. Classic!

The episode with the coffins, too funny!!!

The episode where Lamont is left at the altar.

The episode where Fred, Lamont and Rollo audition for the movie.
Classic Rollo!

The one where Lamont wants to change his name to reflect his African heritage. Nothing funnier that Fred getting rid of the pig!

The one where Fred makes onion stew, another classic Rollo episode.

I could go on, but think I'll stop here. ;)

My fav episodes have to be

1. 25 - The Puerto Ricans Are Coming!
Fred is upset because his new neighbor is opening a competing junkyard; but he's beside himself when he learns the neighbor is Puerto Rican. Gregory Sierra guest stars. (classic)

2. 73 - Home Sweet Home
Greed gets in the way when a Japanese land development company offers to buy the Sanford house.

3.40 - Lamont As Othello
Fred returns home unexpectedly and finds Lamont and drama coach Marilyn in the choking scene of Othello. Maureen Arthur Guest stars

4. 79 - My Brother-in-Law's Keeper
Fred can't wait for his sister to come for a visit and introduce her new husband—but that's before he finds out the groom is white. Allen Drake Guest stars.

Wow! There are too many to name but a lot of people gave some good ones.

I liked

Rated X
The Piano Movers
Sandford and Son and the Sister Makes Three
The Three Degrees
Watts Side Story
Blind Mello Jelly Collection

The one where Esther and Fred get chained up together during one of Grady's tricks...that was hilarious!

Fred and Carol and Fred and Donna
Tooth or Consequences
Lamont Is that You?-especially when Fred tells Bubba don't smile at nobody.

I'll stop there! but there were many more!

My ten favorite episodes ever, which i could watch over and
over again---and already have done so!

1)" A House is Not a Poolroom"--so many funny moments
2) "The Party Crasher"--Fred at his most undeniably charming
Rollo's character in this alone is worth it!
3)"Sanford and Rising Son"-Pat Morita was a great support
4)"Mama' baby, papa's maybe"-The acting by LaWanda Page--
comic genius!!("I don't want to hear anymore of this!")
5)"Card Sharps" - great showcase for Redd and great ending
6) "coffins for sale"-an early classic. "Melvin"'s underrated!
7) "sanford and son and sister makes three"-so much material
packed into one episode---the dialogue is awesome
8)"blind mellow jelly"--what hasn't already been said?
9) "Fred's treasure garden"-I really like all the Grady episodes,
but this is the standout among Whitman Mayo's portrayals.
When Grady goes outside to get that wild parsley--!!!!
10)"the Piano Movers"--Season One's last episode--the show
and its stars were in top form now, and would continue!

Every episode of the 3rd season. (Only season I've seen. I'm buying the other seasons later when I get some cash.)

Coffins for sale was absolutley hilarious. I also love My house is not a poolroom. :lol:

Heres my favorites:

Happy Birthday Pop
Superflyer
Fuentes, Fuentes, Sanford and Chico
Freds Cheating heart
The Piano Movers
The Blind Mellow Jelly Collection

I love that part in "Freds Cheating heart" when Freds yellin for his clothes and that guy in the other bed tells him to be quiet, Then Fred says "You better shut up chump b'fore i jump over that screen!, ......I'll jump over that screen and stay on your chest as longas a blackhead!"
:lol:

I like the episode where Fred goes to the old folks home. That is funny as hell!:D

"Go away - I'm smokin' pot!"

Another great line, axed by TVLAND...

Blind Mellow Jelly. "I want my daddys records" :lol:
The one episode where Lamont is learning karate to try and handle the bully at the bar. The part where Grady is rippin on the karate instructor is hilarious, and the last part where Lamont goes outside and starts screamin like a maniac , hoppin all a
around. MY goodness.:lol:

Rollo: Hey pop , what it is?
Fred: What it was?

My pick is a tie between Pops N Pals (the Mexican restaurant scene is CLASSIC!! :rofl: :brent) and The Merger. "Beans and disease to you, too!!!" :rofl:

Sanford and Niece ranks among my favorites- "It might be today, but I'll be damned if it will be tomorrow"

WOW Thats a first at least to this Sanford & Son fanatic Somebody actually thinks Sanford & Neice is one of their favorite episodes.

No offense magellan but most Sanford & Son fans rank that one as one of their least favorite episodes me included.

Because Fred gets too sentimental &teary eyed about how much she looks like his late wife Elizabeth.

I rank that one next to my very least favorite episode the episode thats just a pilot/spinoff episode for the short lived awful Grady sitcom.

We are all entitled to our opinions! I liked seeing a more sentimental side to Fred and the harpsichord music was a nice touch. I agree, the Grady pilot was among my least favorites too, along with The Earthquake and Fred's Church.
