Sanford and Son was a classic series! "Fred Sanford. 'S-A-N-F-O-R-D-period.'" IIRC, it was the first one to feature a majority black cast.
ETA: Fay, wasn't it "Steptoe and Son"?
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

Wasn't Chico and the Man ALSO an adaptation of Steptoe and Son?
I knew Jessica would understand.

Yup, that did it.

I am sad that I cannot replicate the wah wah guitar sound in words.
Definitely one of the more memorable TV theme songs, up there in the instrumental category with Peter Gunn, Hill Street Blues, and Taxi, IMO.
And Barney Miller and Night Court...
I sometimes see old jalopy pickups and my mind plays The S&S theme.
I can't feel that sorry for anyone who has Lucy Lawless, Edward James Olmos, James Callis and the casts of the Gates sing them happy birthday.
Jealous! (I am, that is)
I liked the ep, though figured out that it was Walter (is that his name?) pretty much right away. Colin continues to be charming and make me laugh. Still loving Henry. It's interesting... I was king of surprised that they ended up orphaning a kid on the pilot and was wondering how/whether they were going to deal with it. I didn't think it would be by unorphaning him, so in one sense, I was surprised and in another, sort of disappointed by the takeback.
I loved Sanford and Son when I was a kid.
