I'm really sorry to hear this. Sanford and Son has been in nightly re-runs here for a long time and I watch the show most nights.

Sanford and Son was one of my dad's favorite shows in the 70's.

We watched “Sanford and Son” a lot in the office. I really liked the episode where Lamont took a job moving a piano and got Fred to help. The guy that owned the piano was a sissy-type man and he required the 2 men moving the piano to put on slippers. I forget which one of the 2 guys did it, but either Lamont or Fred put on slippers that looked like Elf slippers. It was funny.
