Sanford and Son - The First Three Seasons

Rating:
Summary: First 3 seasons are the best
Review: Sanford and son is one of the best sitcoms ever produced in America. The first 3 seasons or maybe the first 4 are the best. After Fred and Lammont turn the "junk yard" into a hotel , the show seems to go down-hill, in my opinion. Aunt Ester always adds laughs to the show, with Fred using her as the brunt of many jokes, however Aunt Ester gets her point across, in a very funny way as well. Although Redd Foxx was no where near the age he played on the show, he did it so well you believed he was 65 or more even though he was only in his early 50's when the show started. I had the pleasure of going to one of Redd Foxxes shows in Las Vages, one of his last, and seeing him in person. I will never forget this experience. He had, as a guest performer Slappy White, and another comic whoes name I can't remember in the Vegas show. Redd was a preformer you had to see in this environmemt in order to appreciate his comic genious, although risque' humor. He is and will always be one of the greats, but with these DVDs he will live on forever. Thank God for Dvds. Humor keeps you young and healthy. One other thing which impressed me is Mr. Foxxes use of "friends" he grew up with and other actors who had a slim chance of getting jobs on any other show. He was a total friend, to the end. I love him and the show, very much.

Summary: Redd Foxx is the GREATEST!!!
Review: One thing I could always be sure of no matter what was happening in my life or what I might have been going through, "Sanford and Son" was a sure bet to snap me out of it and make me laugh so hard no matter how many times I had ever seen any particular episode. Foxx was a comic genius with delivery and timing that was unequaled.

Being somewhat of a "Sanford and Son purist", I have to say that I prefer the first three years of the show to the others. It wasn't that Redd Foxx was any less funny in later years, but sometimes the plotlines left something to be desired. Having said that, I would rather watch ANY episode of "Sanford and Son" from any season than much of what passes for comedy today.

What some people may not know is that when you get these DVD's you will get to see the complete, uncut, thirty minute episodes. On television reruns, there is always at least 5-7 minutes cut out of any episode. So if you think you have seen all of "Sanford and Son" you will be pleasantly surprised to see even more hilarious footage that you may never have seen before.

Get these-you won't be disappointed.
