Well, I can't actually comment on the show because I've never seen it. I have heard that it was pretty crappy. I got a theory though. NBC thought they could keep the cash cow rolling with SA. Hey, people liked Sanford and Son right? Well, the unfortunate thing is Redd and Demond will not be in this new Sanford Arms show. So? We can do this thing without them. Don't you know that people will watch anything with the words 'Sanford' in the title? People will assume this has something to do with Fred and Lamont. The viewers will turn in to watch the show and they'll be disappointed that F & L isn't in it. Then when they finish watching the actual SA show, they'll laugh and say, 'Goes to show they can run a good show without Redd and Demond. This was hysterical! Who knew the characters could be so funny w/o Fred and Lamont.' NBC got shook around and realized that without Redd and Demond then they didn't have a show.
