Laughs & more laughs with Sanford And Son: The 5th Season. Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson return for another twenty-four hysterical episodes of Sanford And Son, the comic misadventures of a cantankerous 65-year-old junk dealer and his outrageous circle of family and friends. For the series' fifth sidesplitting season, Fred takes no prisoners as he unleashes an uproarious array of jokes, jibes and insults at such targets as LA earthquakes, Japanese restaurants, the Sanford Arms apartments, Lamont's mysterious new girlfriend, the Senior Olympics, escort services, the Watts Businessman-of-the-Year Award and the Roman A Clef sitcom, "Steinberg and Son." Nominated for seven Emmy Awards and six Golden Globes during its six-year run, Sanford And Son was the highest rated half-hour series in NBC-TV history. And here are two-dozen enormously funny examples as to why--uncut, uncensored and commercial free!
Editor's Note
The fifth season of this sitcom starring Redd Foxx as the title character, Fred Sanford, a 65 year old junk dealer who lives in the Watts housing complex in LA with his grown son, Lamont. Lamont is a reluctant partner in the business, always threatening to leave but retained by Fred's feigned heart attacks; Fred, meanwhile, is a crotchety fellow with a heart of gold, and both characters are constantly coming up with get rich quick schemes that consistently backfire. Other characters include the zealous Aunt Esther Anderson, Fred's main squeeze Donna Harris, and various friends and acquaintances of both father and son. This season sees Donna and Fred discussing marriage while Esther gets fed up with hers, and the Sanfords' new business venture, a boarding house called the Sanford Arms, which also supplied the name and premise of a spin-off of the show.
