SS1's Sanford And Son Episode Breakdown

[Jimmer]

Whitman Mayo always cracks me up. One of my favorite roles that he played other than Grady was Mr. Rhythm in D.C. Cab: "Mr Rhythm says don't let your *&^% run your life." Truer words . . . .

I hung out with Redd a few times back in the 70's.

He visited a friend up the block in Long Beach, CA.

After the Getz thread I will not go into details.

i also was in his company in the '70s but mostly at his Club in L.A. he was a funny, totally wild guy but most everyone already knew that!

Probably my all time fav episode is the one with Lena Horne

She gave Fred a kiss and his reaction is priceless

which reminds me that i believe Ms. Lena is 92 years old today! i don't believe the public has seen her in a long time.

$40 is a steal for all 6 seasons

The lowest I have seen the complete set is $50

I have all episodes recorded on VHS from TvLand

Fred watching the NFL on TV

Knock on the front door

Lamont lets Aunt Esther in the house

AE Hello Lamont

LS Hi Aunt Esther

AE Hello Fred

Walks in and turns off TV and stands in front of TV

FS Wait Wait Wait

What’s the matter with you Esther?

You Crazy?

AE This is the Lord’s Day Fred Sanford

FS No it ain’t this is Sunday

This is the day I watch the NFL action on TV and let me tell you something

if you don’t get out in front of my TV

there is gonna be some action in this front room

AE You said if the Lord healed you

you’d walk the straight and narrow path and it’s time to take your first step

FS Esther because it’s Sunday I’m not gonna tell you where I’m gonna put my first

step

But if you don’t get out of here I’m gonna show you

AE You a heathen Fred Sanford

Old senile heathen and if you won’t come to the Lord I’ll bring the Lord to you

Esther brings in 4 ladies from her church and they start singing a church song towards Fred

Fred tried to get out but the ladies pin him a against the front door and Fred has no choice but to listen to them

New book out about Lena Horne

She was Fred's second true love

You know SS1, I'm about ready to break down, run to Best Buy, and get the Complete Sanford and Son DVD set -- and I blame you!

[Soulstation1]

After Fred somehow gets into The Horne's dressing room on a NBC tour

FS See Miss Horne, I'm a fan of yours

I mean, a real big fan

LH Well, thank you.

Thank you very much

FS I saw your movie Stormy Weather 38 times

LH You're joking

You mean to tell me you paid to see Stormy Weather 38 times?

FS No, I only paid once

I went in on a Saturday afternoon and came out on a Wednesday evening
