  1. RIP Lamont. Not sure how many people know Sanford and Son but my grandfather watched the show a lot and I came to enjoy it. I honestly didn't realize that Demond went on to be a minister.

  2. Redd Foxx (1922-1991) #BOTD went from an X-rated comic who made adults-only "party records" to a cuddly doll for kids.

    The 1970s were a magical time.

  3. Me: Watching Sanford and Son for the first time in maybe 40 years
    My TV: Want to skip the intro?
    Me: Not on your derpy little digital life, Polyphemus-of-my-living-room. This is one of the greatest TV themes of all time.

  4. #SanfordAndSon should’ve just been called the #ReddFoxx show, but every cast member was amazing in it. It reminded me of my Corona, Queens neighborhood and the junk shops in adjoining Willets Point. I learned that LA had neighborhoods just like mine in NYC.

  5. Marjorie Taylor Greene enjoys the dubious distinction of having exposed more junk to Congress than can be seen in six seasons’ episodes of vintage television’s Sanford And Son.
