Sanford and Son: The Third Season [3 Discs]

Sanford & Son: Season 3 (3Pc)

Overview

L.A. junk dealer Fred Sanford was Norman Lear's black counterpart to Archie Bunker. The gravel-voiced widower hurled outrageous one-liners at his Bible-toting sister-in-law, Esther; cooked up get-rich-quick schemes with buddies Grady (who got his own spin-off series in 1975) and Bubba; and feigned countless `big ones' (heart attacks) to win the sympathy of long-suffering son Lamont. Based on the British series `Steptoe and Son,' the show consistently ranked in the Top 10.

Editorial Reviews

Politically incorrect comedy is the order of the day when the Sanfords, one of TV's most endearingly cantankerous families, return for another season of junkyard mischief. Join Fred (Redd Foxx), Lamont (Demond Wilson), Aunt Esther (LaWanda Page), and an inimitable supporting cast as they trade countless barbs and insults in Norman Lear's classic, stereotype-skewering series. In a minor bit of TV history, Redd Foxx does not appear in the season's final six episodes, as he was in the midst of contract negotiations (he returns in Season 4). This three-disc set includes all 24 third-season episodes in their original broadcast order and offers a visit with America's favorite (albeit only) TV family of junk sellers.
