Things we learned from Sanford & Son - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

catlover79 · 06-21-2007, 01:38 PM

Continuing in the tradition of The Brady Bunch and Good Times boards, list the lessons you learned from watching S&S.

Never go into business with a friend. You might end up in a commercial, pushed aside and resort to wearing a goofy tie.

ALWAYS check the parsley to be sure it really is parsley.

Never take your dad to dinner at a Mexican restaurant.

Sisters-in-law and handcuffs never mix.

Kick your son out when he turns 18
Don't visit St. Louis
Get along with your in-laws
Don't ever fake a heart attack

NEVER buy or borrow anything from Fred and Lamont!!! (Or almost anyone else on that show, really.)

-If you win a lottery, tell nobody until after you finished spending it on what you want (although I admire Fred's generosity).
-Racism and intolerance truly does make one look foolish.
-Get rich quick schemes never work.

Never try to make your Puerto Rican neighbor look bad - he will always come out smelling like a rose and you'll end up looking like the dummy!!

Don't bother with cleaning products. They are a waste of time and money.
