Sanford and Son: The Second Season [3 Discs]

Sanford & Son: Season 2 (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. The season includes two riotous scripts by comedian Richard Pryor: "The Dowry" and "Sanford and Son and Sister Makes Three," plus the memorable "A Visit from Lena Horne," wherein Fred sneaks into the blues diva's dressing room and attempts to trick her into visiting him at home. This three-disc set includes all 24 second-season episodes in their original broadcast order and offers a visit with America's favorite (albeit only) TV family of junk sellers.
