Question for anyone who watched the spinoff "Sanford Arms" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you think it was odd that this show was considered a spinoff since the Family living inside the House was featured a lot more than Esther, Bubba, and Grady? I mean I didn;t get the spinoff vibe at all just seemed like a new show with a family moving in the Sanford Home. I don;t think a House can be spun off can it?-LOL

Still didn't have that spinoff feel.

You got me on that one, I don't even remember any of the episodes. I wouldn't mind seeing this show on dvd.

Well, they could always combined The Sanford Arms with Grady. That would make a nice dvd set, they have one disc shows out called TV favorites.

Well I'm still waiting, the 6th season of Sanford and son was released in June and still 7 months later, no news on the 2 Sanford and Son spinoffs

I was thinking the same thing. I think it is, but I can see where you would say its not really.

Mainly because the lead character on Sanford Arms was never on Sanford and Son.

I didn't think he looked anything like Redd Foxx, but that would have been a good way to guest start on it without playing Fred. I thought the Grandfather was funny. He really did not like his wife.

Don't know if you knew this but the Grandmother made an apperance on Good Times, the Jeffersons, and Sanord and Son.
