Ah-Chu, Rodney, Mrs. Hopkins, Hutch, That dude near the end of the series that always said, "Yesssssssss" the Fritzi Burr character. These were all minor characters. they should have gave Leroy and Skillet more air time.

I really never cared too much for Leroy and Skillet. But Rodney, Frances, and Mrs. Hopkins definitely were not needed

I don't think the Police Officers were needed at all.

I think they did, it was a kind of social statement. At least IMO.

Oh my!!!!

Moving on . . . ahem . . . from that rather interesting comment

I agree with the aforementioned message from GarfieldKool, I thought that Rodney, Mrs. Hopkins, and Hutch really weren't needed. Rodney, especially, was very irritating. Mrs. Hopkins was irritating too but by the time she entered the scene the series had already started going downhill. Plus I think they sort of had that character in there because it lent a kind of "star-power" to S & S because it was "Miss Hathaway" playing the part of Mrs. Hopkins. With Hutch, it wasn't so much that he was irritating, it was rather, he really wasn't much more than background or scenery on the set. He was there to say yes, no, hello, Fred, etc. That's about it. They should have given Hutch's character more importance to fill it out more.

Smitty and Hoppy were needed. Undercover Angel, what color are you? Just out of curiosity since you made that comment.

I am deeply embarrassed by my statement; which was meant to be funny, but unfortunately, it is of very bad taste...Sorry, if I offended anyone with with my rather TACTLESS remark..I truly deserve the

Smilie....

Oh, don't worry about it . . . I think it's happened to all of us at one time or another---i.e., written things that came out sounding different from the way we meant them when we wrote them.

I am quite embarrassed by my remake, and it was quite rude and quite stupid for I to make such a racist comment, but I for one, I am not a judgemental person...it was just one of those comments when you do not "THINK" before you do; and I once again deeply sorry for being so stupid...

GARFIELDKOOL · 10-12-2004, 02:34 PM

Undercover Angel, I didn't mean no harm. I didn't know you were joking. I'm sorry. I try not to play the race card on this board. I thought that statement you made was funny that why I was curious. I apoligize if that came out the wrong way. I apoligize to all others on this board, too. I'm an African-American. I was a victim of a racist comment on another web page, but I just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Jefffalan · 10-12-2004, 02:56 PM

One thing's for sure, no matter what race we are, we all love Sanford and Son, which proves that it's a comedy that transcends color, age, and whatever else. That's a testament to the lasting freshness this sitcom still has, and will have for years to come! Glad to be a part of this board!!! Cheers
