 My Favorite Show. April 15, 2005
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
I can not give less than 5 stars for this show, I am very thankfull that all seasons of this show are released.
It is for me a dream come true.
I would like to see on DVD the following shows starring Redd Foxx:
1- The Redd Foxx Show (1st Telecast Jan.18,1986 until Apr.19,1986)
2- The Royal Family (1st Telecast Sept.18, 1991 until May 13, 1992).
3- Sanford (1st Telecast Mar.15, 1980 until Jul.10, 1981)
4-Redd Foxx (1st Telecast Sep.15, 1977 until Jan.26, 1978).
Also related to the above shows even though Redd Foxx was not in the cast is "The Sanford Arms" which first telecasted on Sep.16, 1977 until Oct.14, 1977.
Time For A Comeback April 5, 2005

Here's a breakdown of how I rate the first five seasons of Sanford and Son, all of which I currently own on DVD.
1st Season: Excellent, classic TV.
2nd Season: Show gets even better, with classic episodes such as "The Card Shaps" and "The Puerto Ricans are Coming."
3rd Season: The absolute best the series ever was, with one great episode after another.
4th Season: With Redd Foxx gone for the first part of the season, the show began to slip.
5th Season: The show hit its lowest.
Though the sixth season isn't out on DVD yet, I have seen most episodes when they reran on TV Land. I think the show was making a slight comeback from the fifth season. Episodes like "Aunt Ester Has a Baby," "Carol," and "Fred Meets Redd" are very funny. My favorite 6th season episode was "Funny, You Don't Look It" where Fred thinks he's a king. These shows are very good, and I can't wait to own the DVD!
 S&S 6th Season - End of The Line April 2, 2005
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
By the time Sanford and Son returned for it's sixth season in 1976,not only has issue oriented sitcoms(All In The Family,Good Times) lost their foothold in the Nielsons and replaced by more family friendly shows (Happy Days,Laverne & Shirley,What's Happening!),but the show's quality had erode to the point that it's audience had tuned elsewhere.
After four high rated seasons,S&S sucumb to poor writing, gratuitous guest stars(like celebraties would visit a junkyard), and cheap ratings catching gimmicks (the Hawaii episode and the Redd foxx lookalike contest).
At the end of the 6th season,the two stars quit,and the next season the show was retooled as The Sanford Arms featuring Teddy Wilson along with the supporting cast.The show only lasted few episodes before it was officially cancelled.In 1980,Sanford premiered sans Demond Wilson.Lacking the chemestry of the previous show,it was cancelled after a year a half later.
