Did anyone else find it funny that the legal eagle on the Sanford and Son had the last name Cochran? Immediately Johnny Cochran came to mind, but he wasn't even known back then.

"throw yourself on the mercy of the Court!!"

I NOTICED HIS NAME WAS COCHRAN AND SONNY IS ALMOST LIKE JOHNNY. JOHNNY COCHRAN MIGHT HAVE BEEN WELL KNOWN IN LOS ANGELES BACK THEN, I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT THATS MY GUESS FOR THE CHARACTER SONNY COCHRAN

I thought it was hilarious that they had Antonio Fargas playing that role. I always loved him as an actor. :lol:
