Grady episodes during Spring of 1974 would have worked a lot better if - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Grady assisted Lamont in selling junk while Fred was away instead of playing the "I'm Your new Daddy Role". Never understood why the producers felt a year 32 old needed a new Father-lol

Yes, that "daddy" sh*t Grady did got on my damn nerves. He over did it. He was more of of a daddy than Fred was (as far as helping around the house). I guess with Redd gone, they needed an older principal character to fill the void. I think Bubba would have been better.

Yep, Bubba could have partied with Lamont & Rollo, instead of being an annoying stick in the mud like Grady!

The episode that annoyed me the most was when Grady didn't let Lamont have female company.

The thing that annoyed me was that all of a sudden Grady was the most active and animated he'd ever been.

Most of the time he seemed on the edge of a nap.

Now he's SuperGrady.

But I kinda like those episodes, so I'm a bit in the minority here.

I disagree. Grady was hilarious. My mom prefered him to Fred. He was second to Fred IMO but I thought he carried the ball beautifully while Fred was "off in St. Louis".

I agree, Grady really held his own in those episodes.

Yeah I know, I was only able to find 2 eps of that short-lived spinoff. I would love to see the Grady eps when these Sanford and Son cast members made guest apperances

Rollo Guest starred on Grady
Esther, Woody and Bubba guest starred on Grady

I vaguely remember it from when it was on. Did Grady return to Sanford And Son when his show was cancelled?

Yes he returned in the 1976-77 season.

The episode when Fred guest starred was funny. The other Grady Episode when Grady learns how to drive was OK. TV Guide Critic in 1976 loved the Grady episodes when Rollo guest starred and when Bubba, Esther, and Woody guest starred. I don't think those eps exist.
