Im currently finishing up Season 3 on DVD.... and all I can say is that without Redd Foxx, this show is terrible.

I'll probably never watch these episodes again.

I didn't watch the last 6 eps on the season 3 DVD because I don;t like Grady. I know what you mean.

you know I pretty much feel the same way
there are some good episodes with grady and lamont
but all in all
its the funny with Fred not without

No doubt Fred was the show.

I agree; they should had re-named the show from Sanford and Son to The Crappy Grady and Lamont Hour

You're darn right! Watching an episode of Sanford and Son without Redd Foxx is like watching a Honeymooners episode without Jackie Gleason. Foxx was the driving force behind the show and the episodes without him weren't as funny. No phony heart attacks in those episodes.

Yes I agree too, the show is not the same with out Fred. Now I kinda liked Grady but he did not replace Fred, can't be done.... Does anybody have fan sites to pass along?

Yo can go to the Main Page of SitcomsOnine and press S for the TV shows that start with S and they will have a listing of Sanford and Son sites.

BTW: WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!!!. Hope to see more of you.

I noticed on some of those episodes, they tried to give Grady Fred's lines. Grady could not deliver like Fred.
