I am a huge fan of Sanford & Son. I have all of the seasons on DVD and watch them regularly.
I grew up watching the re-runs with my father and find it funnier today than I did back then. Redd Foxx was a true comic genius, and his quarrels with Aunt Esther never fail to make me laugh like nothing else. 
Some of my favorite quotes from the show: Aunt Esther: Who you calling ugly, sucker!! Fred Sanford: I'm calling you ugly, I could push your face in some dough and make gorilla cookies. Aunt Esther: Fred Sanford, the wrath of God will strike you down! Fred Sanford: And this Louisville slugger will knock you out! Aunt Esther: [Fred gives her lipstick] I ain't wearin' this - this is the devil's paint! Fred Sanford: Now, Esther, you gotta choice. Either you put this paint on, or I put a headlight in your nose and drive you through the Earl Scheib. Aunt Esther: Fred Sanford, you just a messy fool! Fred Sanford: And you just a cessy pool! Lamont Sanford: [In response to Fred's insulting remarks about Uncle Leotis] C'mon, Pop, show some respect. The man just died. Fred Sanford: One less ugly person in the world! And he was ugly. He looked like a fried monkey in the face. Had an old peanut-shaped head; every time it rained it had a big puddle of water in the middle of it. Lamont Sanford: You're a dirty old man ya know that? Fred Sanford: And I'm gonna be one 'till I'm a dead old man! Fred Sanford: You’re going into business with that Puerto Rican? You ought to call yourselves “Julio and Damn Foolio.” Fred Sanford to Aunt Ester: You make me wish that birth control was retroactive. Fred Sanford: Hazel, if I hit you in the mouth, I bet your lips get to the hospital before the amulance. Lamont: Dad, why don't you act your age instead of your shoe size. Fred: Son, if you don't shut your lip, you're gonna feel my shoe size. |

I remember watching the re-runs when I was a kid. DIdn't get the jokes too much back then, but watching the episodes now, it is funny as heck. Redd Foxx was a comic genius, for sure.

Biography
Fred G. Sanford was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on January 21, 1907. Fred often told tales describing his alleged service in World War I or World War II (depending on the situation and context), but as Lamont once pointed out, Fred was 11 when World War I took place, and although conscripted into the United States Army for World War II, never went past Fort Dix. Fred and his wife Elizabeth Winfield had a son Lamont, who was born on September 27, 1940, and in 1946, him, his wife, and their young son moved to Watts, a neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. When Lamont was seven years old, Elizabeth died, leaving Fred to raise Lamont by himself. Lamont dropped out of high school to help Fred run the junk business, named Sanford and Son. When asked for his name, especially when talking via telephone, he usually responds, "Fred G. Sanford. S-A-N-F-O-R-D period.", which is also Fred's signature. Other times, he would respond with "Fred G. Sanford. The G stands for..." and then a word relating to the situation. Fred's actual middle name is not revealed. http://sanfordandson.wikia.com/wiki/Fred_G._Sanford |

Our lives are exactly like this, except we arent black or anything.

I was going deer hunting one day. My mom caught a wiff of my scent pads on my boots and asked,"What the heck is that smell". I told her it was red fox urine.
Silence.... How in the world did you get Redd Foxx's urine? Me, not catching on,"They sell it at most places that sell bow hunting stuff. It's used to cover your own scent" Silence... Why would his pee in particular be the one you use? Me...after I compose myself: "It's red fox pee, mom. Like from the little fluffy animal". I fully expected her to ask how they get the foxes to pee in the little bottles. |
