it was good real good wish ithad less commercials though and started with first episode but i liked it.it been so long since i saw that show i wish it was on more then just the weekend look unedited house looked great anything with redd foxx is good

I haven't had a chance to sit down and watch the show all the way through yet. From what I did see, I kind of liked it .... the idea of a still in the kitchen seemed far-fetched like that, yet that is what makes the show fun! I was happy to see what looked like some names associated with the original show back on in the production of it, as well as the original theme song! My impression was that it was just an extended Sanford and Son ... minus the son!

Not an Extension, a Revival Series. It was 3 years in between the time Sanford and Son ended and the time Sanford started so it doesn't fall into the Extension category.


Extension Examples are

Archie Bunkers Place-1979
Three's A Crowd-1984

I loved it back then...but, I think all the insults, semi-rascist jokes and the father-son dynamic a little too close to my own with my Dad, id have a hard time watching it NOW

If anyone posts clips from Sanford anywhere on the internet, Viacom International will have it removed within a day or so. For some reason, they have a tight reign over this series but, Sanford and Son? It's all over YouTube and other video sites and has been there for quite a while.

I never saw Sanford prior to last Sunday's rerun on BET. Somehow I missed it when it originally ran. I saw S&S during it's actual run on tv, though, and have been enjoying the reruns. Plus I have all 6 seasons on DVD. I love it!

I guess I am in the minority here, but I do not like Sanford. I am glad to have the chance to catch the show now for nostalgic reasons, but so far I am not crazy about the series. Maybe as I see other eps, I will "get into the show" more.

Having Cal living in the Sanford household seems very far-fetched and I am not crazy about the character or any of the characters I've seen so far in that one ep. Maybe it'll take a few more eps to get a better outlook on the show.

The fact that Fred and Cal were a Odd Couple doing business together wasn't funny? The Fat jokes that Fred constantly said to Cal?

I thought the show was okay. Though I think I'll be able to understand it a bit better during the marathon, like I'll get a better introduction to the rest of the characters. I didn't like that they started at episode 4.

I always wondered if they used the same theme music.

Someone could try Dailymotion, since Viacom or any of those other corporate-Nazi companies haven't gotten their mitts on people uploading videos over as much as they do w/ Veoh and You Tube.

I Tried both have not found anything yet viacom useless

Yeah that was a poor way to introduce the show especially since it's rare

I remember watching Sanford during the original primetime run and the reruns (first go round) on BET. Somehow I enjoy it more than S&S--go figure LOL
