Neal Pomea Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 I liked the episode with Lamont's botched wedding. Get away from there, kid. This table's for drinking! Your mama and me never had a honeymoon, and now look, you and me's going! Esther, you never looked sweeter! Quote
cih Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 I love the British one - Steptoe and Son - I've never seen Sanford & Son... when I was a kid my dad used to turn the show off because he disliked the old man too much to enjoy it. The spitefulness and emotional blackmail look pretty intense today. Can't think of many mainstream comedies where you'd have the son contemplating smothering his father. Great show - I think some of the storylines are the same across both. There are loads of full episodes on Youtube (at least for the time being) Quote

Christiern Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 A friend of mine, Sam Theard, called me one day and told me that he had hit the numbers. It wasn't a fortune, but enough to make him decide to try his luck in Hollywood. Sam was a veteran stand-up comedian who made some records (not comedy) in his younger days. He also wrote Let the Good Times Roll and I'll be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You, so he did have some royalty money coming in. To get to the point, Sam hadn't been in Hollywood long when he landed a guest spot on his old friend, Red Foxx's show, playing—if I recall correctly—Sanford's long lost brother. When I visited Sam out there, he was living in an apartment house many of whose tenants were from the old black vaudeville era—they had a helluva barbecue party that week. Sam told me that they had these things regularly, and a few months later he wrote to give me his new address, the apartment building had accidentally been barbecued. Quote
cih Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Sam Theard! did you take any photos out there? He did a nice vocal of State Street Blues with Cow Cow Davenport (among other things) that I listen to pretty regularly - not the pinnacle of his talents I'm sure but nevertheless... 'I'll be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You' must be on a recent compilation as I hear it now & then, but I can't remember what one. Edited April 30, 2012 by cih Quote

Free For All Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 That Fred and Scatman is freakin cool PERIOD Definitely. I don't think I've ever seen it before. Very cool. Quote
cih Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for posting that Sam Theard one. What year is that? mid seventies? so four or five decades earlier he's hopping labels with Will Ezell. That's show-biz. Quote
BERIGAN Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Interesting...looked up the Episode and it looks like Sam Theard played a friend of Fred... clicked on a board thread there...was kinda surprised the N word was used on the show! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068128/board/nest/191325980 Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I think the N word was used 3 or 4 times on the show Once when Lamont was in court First epIsode when Lamont was getting married Another time when Big Money Grip claimed to be Lamont's father (Esther dropped it) Tvland edits the word Edited April 30, 2012 by Soulstation1 Quote
