Summary: Sanford and Son. The First Season
Review: If you enjoyed Sanford and Son than this DVD is for you. Not only is the video and audio crystal clear but each episode is shown in it's entirety. I had forgotten how much had been cut out of each episode to allow for more commercials to be aired. I can hardly wait for the second season to become available. Buy this item you won't be disappointed.

Review: The greatest sit-com ever, no wonder I give it five stars (across the Lips). Great picture quality. Plus see scenes cut for the long commercials these days. Hope the rest of the series becomes available.

Summary: Don't Remember Much of This First Season
Review: As a kid I absolutely loved Sanford & Son. There are so many episodes that stand out in my mind and I was pleased to find that a DVD was finally being made available. I was 11 years old when the first season originally aired on t.v. so I don't remember it very well. After watching this 2-disc set, however, I was disappointed that more supporting characters hadn't yet been introduced (I guess the 2nd season brought about the majority of those folks). Overall, it's a great walk down memory lane.

Summary: Columbia better not stop with this season!
Review: The other reviewers are right that this show really hit the ground running. Early episodes of most shows are a little off as the actors find their characters and develop chemistry (look at the first ten or so SEINFELDS). But here, Foxx and Wilson are so comfortable from the premiere on that it seems like they had already been doing the show for years.This is a perfect little 14 episodes, and reveals Redd Foxx as a comic genius -- the timing, the gestures -- it's a marvel that someone who had until then just been doing stand-up slid so easily into doing 23-minute stories (although it would be nice to get some outtakes, which must have been hilarious). One of the shows spends a half hour with Fred and Lamont starting to move a piano -- that's it, and yet the episode is just as captivating as the others. SANFORD AND SON's early phase is even historically interesting, for those inclined to think too hard about such things. It's only eight years after the Civil Rights Act, and the Watts riots were even more recent. This is the first representation in regular show format on television of a truly "black", oppositional orientation to mainstream America -- Foxx made sure Fred was black above all, a kind of reverse Archie Bunker. There are also interesting intra-black class issues popping up -- middle class black families look down on Fred as "just a junk man", etc. This sort of thing was a more live issue in 1972 than it would be later, when "black" started being seen as trumping class. Anyway, on a more mundane level, one just hopes that Columbia keeps going on this show, because really this first half-season, delightful though it was, is still a kind of proto-SANFORD AND SON in many ways. One has not "presented" SANFORD AND SON meaningfully by only giving us this first batch. There is no Aunt Esther yet, for those who wonder, and that does make for a quieter show. Nor do we yet get Fred's raggedy pals like Grady and Bubba; instead we get Slappy White's Melvin, but he doesn't make the impression that Whitman Mayo and Don Bexley would. This is also before Rollo or Julio.
It's basically just Fred and Lamont, but the fact that even this is so entertaining 30 years later makes this show a true gem. I popped the shows one after the other like candy for days. There seems to be a tradition of dwelling on minor technical aspects of the transfer in cases like this. As such, those expecting absolutely pristine prints will be disappointed -- these look more or less like newly minted tapes for syndication looked: clean but with the occasional scratch here and there. There is no evidence of any major cleaning up. Nor are there any "extras" to speak of. Outtakes would be nice, if many survive. But beyond this, as far as extras are concerned, who cares? Foxx is dead, and how interested are we, really, in hearing Demond Wilson talk about what it was like doing the show? And I really do not NEED episodes of SANFORD AND SON to look like GONE WITH THE WIND. This is just good candy -- sit back and smile.

Summary: Can't wait for Season #2
Review: What a great show and it's finally on DVD. I was dissapointed that there was no speacial features... this dvd is "bare bones." It would have been nice to see interviews with Demond Wilson or other cast members or ANYTHING extra! Virtually all the episodes are hillarious and entertaining and it reminded me how much I missed this show that I haven't seen in years. Worth the money..buy it.

Summary: Sanford and Son
Review: Sanford and son contains all 14 episodes on 2 dvds.Disc one contains crossed swords, happy birthday pop, here comes the bride
there goes the bride, the copper caper, a matter of life and breath, we were robbed and a pad for Lamont.Disc two contains
the great sanford seige, coffins for sale, the barracuda, tv or
not tv, the suitcase case, return of the barracuda, and the piano
movers.Once again just like with all in the family this looks
much better than I have seen it on tv and vhs.The sound is ok.
ON the theme song you have to cut it up if you want to here it
good but the volume goes up at the start of the show.Also these
are uncut with no commercials.I noticed that there was footage
in these episodes that had been cut out on tv.The packaging is much better for Sanford and son than for all in the family.
The packaging includes a slip case and the dvds are in a
foldable book similar to close encounters of the third kind.
The episode guide is in a seperate slit included in the book.
Some episodes were funnier than others my favorites are
A Matter of Life and Breath, We Were Robbed, The Great Sanford
Seige, Coffins For Sale, Tv or not Tv, and the Suitcase Case.All
of these are very funny.The only bad thing about season 1 is
Ester wasn't in it.She's in season 2.I will most deafinley by
season 2 when it comes out and I hope it's soon.If you are a
fan of this show get this dvd set you will enjoy it.
