Fred's New Friends after Grady left the show were mmuch better - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Elroy was a cool dude and was not GOOFY like Grady at all. Elroy was the one friend that Fred never insulted. FRed always had something to say about Grady, and Bubba.

NOTE: THe first episode of the spinoff Grady which premeired on NBC on December 4, 1975, Elroy takes Fred to Grady's New home so they could drop off the rest of Grady's belongings. It was clear from that drop off that Elroy was FRed's new sidekick

I don't like to correct people, because I think it is rude. But if I am not mistaken, there was no Elroy on Sanford and Son, the only friends of Fred's that I remember are:

Leroy, Bubba, Skillet, Melvin, Grady.

Once again no harm, maybe I'm wrong.

I THINK ELROY WAS THE OLD GUY WHO MOVED INTO THE SANFORD ARMS. A BUM OF AN ACTOR.

NO both of you are wrong. Elroy did not live in the Sanford Arms. He came on Sanford and Son right after Grady left. Elroy and Hutch were hanging with Fred. Elroy was first seen in the episode ESCORTS.

No Elroy wasn't in the George Foreman episode. His first episode was THE ESCORTS

glenny · 11-22-2003, 02:43 PM

I hate to correct you, but Elroy was indeed in the episode with George Forman. He was in like 3 scenes. He was Fred's assistant when he was directing the play. Fred asked him for coffee and fresh sweet rolls.

Yes you are right. I was wrong. I'm watching the episode now and Elroy was definitely in the episode. It was also his last episode.

I humbly stand corrected!

Who the heck was Elroy? I don't recall him at all. Sanford and Son sort of went south on Fred's return. I don't watch the later seasons as much. Perhaps I just overlooked him. Was he in a lot of episodes?

Actually he was only in 2eps-LOL I thught it was more. I also seen Elroy in an episode of Grady. The Sanford and Son Spinoff. So i seen him in 3 eps

NO WAY WAS ELROY BETTER THAN GRADY!!!!!

Grady was the funniest pal of Fred's as well as Bubba, Leroy,and Skillet were too! Uh-Uh. Nope Nope Nope.

The episodes where Fred was away and Grady stayed with Lamont are some of the funniest episodes ever of "S & S".

There is nothing funny about Grady. Maybe he was funny looking but that's it. When I bought the 3rd season of sanford and son, i didn't watch the remaining 6 episodes. Can you guess why?

NicholasFlynn · 01-04-2004, 01:57 AM

Because you have no sense of humor?
