Default Fred and Rollo in the same room was always entertaining

I personally think that rollo should have played fred's son instead of lamont because rollo was a true entertainer. Rollo and fred was a match made in comedy heaven. I saw one of the rollo and fred classics on the TV LAND 80th birthday Celebration for Norman Lear-that Sanford and Son episode has the best ending ever. They were great performers-

You are right about Redd and Nathaniel having wonderful timing when their on screen together. It all just fits together so perfectly. I'm glad that Nathaniel was Rollo and Demond was Lamont. I could lead into this whole big explanation on why I think that, but I'll spare everybody from my explanation.

I couldn't get enough of Rollo and Fred, Here are some Rollo and Fred Classics

Rollo: Hey Pop's how are you feelin?
Fred: I feel with my hands like i always do


Fred: hey rollo maybe you and me should do a show together
Rollo: That sounds slick pop, what is it goin to be called?
Fred: It's going to be called ROLLO DERBY-i'm going to skate all over your face-and Then FRED throws the skates at Rollo as he leaves the house and breaks his front door window

Here is my favorite Fred-and-Rollo exchange:

Lamont: Hey, look who's here, Pop. Rollo.

Rollo: Say, Pops.

Fred: what do you want me to do, cheer? Okay, here; Bim! Bam! Boom! Somebody get this n****r outta my room!

Lamont: POP!!

Fred: Here's another one: Yippee, yippee, yay, yay, look who's got outta jail today!

Rollo: That's cold, Pops...

Hmmm...just a side note- Rollo reminds me so much of Eddie Haskell from your quotes W.J. Especially the 'That's cold, Pops..." I could imagine Eddie saying that quote. lol

Default Rollo and Fred

You are all RIGHT

Rollo was a true PLAYA PLAYA.....he was so smooth and cool. He was really ahead of his times as being hip, and Fred loved to DOG Rita Lawson's son

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE WHEN THEY WERE IN THE SAME ROOM!!!!
