Fred Calling Lamont a Dummy - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have enjoyed watching Sanford and Son over the years but I feel it's very cruel and abusive for Fred to be calling Lamont a dummy all the time. Lamont is the sane prescence, trying to keep his father in check and yet he suffers from years of Fred's abusive treatment.

Lamont: He's called me a dummy every day of his life, except for the day he had laryngitis - and even then he wrote it on a piece of paper!!

Fred calling lamont a dummy is part of what made is so funny. Fred was a ignorant old man but if he was nice dont you guys think the show would suck. I mean common imagine fred being nice to his son. It would not be were it is at now as far as popularity.

If anything, Lamont wasn't nice to Fred. Check out my post where I stated, "The Episodes Where I Really Hated Lamont."
