Since CATM only had one entertaining character which was Chico and his famous phrase-LOOKING GOOD!!!!!. Other than that, The show didn't have anymore funny characters but Sanford and Son of course had Rollo, Fred, and Julio so would Have to choose S&S.

Sanford and Son.

I love Chico and the Man but Sanford and Son makes me laugh more. I think it's funnier.

S&S (although I hated the Rollo character)

The best characters on S&S were Fred, Hulio, Esther and Bubba.

Chico and the Man

In my opinion .... "Sanford and Son" SUCKED!

S&S was the same dumb jokes in every single episode. "Esther, You Ugly." "You Big Dummy." "How'd You Like One Across Your Lip?" "This is the big one. Elizabeth, I'm coming to join ya honey." All amusing the first time around but after that ... nope.

Now I'm not dumb. I know S&S is more popular than CATM. I know that it's considered more of a classic than CATM. But in my opinion it's junk. Nonetheless, I still own the show on DVD. Mainly because my dad likes S&S.

The TV Guide Critic said in 1975 that S&S was one dimensional. Do you agree?-lol

Yeah. Which is odd. Because I almost never agree with critics.

I never found him funny.
Maybe it was because all his scenes were with Lamont.... who just sucked in every way possible.

And I agree with the critic and TVAdam.... S&S is very one-dimensional, but I still like it.

I love both of these shows, and since everybody was voting for Sanford and Son, I decided to vote for CATM

Chico and the Man, I wouldn't say S&S sucked, but I just don't care for it
