NBC had unrealisitc expectations for Sanford. They wanted an instant ratings powerhouse, instead of nuturing the show in a good sitcom block, say on Wednesdays with DS.

I think it was just a new time and most people had already been so familiar with the Sanford type of Sitcom. I think CAL is so much better than Lamont

Not to mention that Sanford was competing against the everyday S&S, which was widely syndicated at that point.

Lamont at times, was a PITA. I never understood what he had against Donna.

Cal definitely was more loose than Lamont.
The only flaw about Sanford is the supporting cast is kind of weak. I didn't like Fred's girlfriend's maid. I notice they tried to make her be another woman for Fred to insult. It worked for Lawanda page, it's not working for this woman.

Fred: don't you know that saying-"you sure are beautiful mad?

CAL: YEAH!

FRED: that ain't got nothing to DO with you

I don't think Cissy's character was weak. I say the maid, and Evelyn's snobbish brother were weak.

Winston??? Now how could you not like the interactions between WINSTON and FRED??? The only Fred interaction that was boring was between him and CISSY
