Sanford and Son: The Sixth Season The final season of the popular sitcom from the 1970s continues the hilarity that was by this time well-established on the show. Based on the British sitcom STEPTOE & SON, SANFORD & SON was the first show created by Norman Lear that featured a predominately African American cast. Lear would go on to spearhead THE JEFFERSON and GOOD TIMES. Redd Foxx stars here as Fred Sanford, a struggling junk dealer living in LA's Watts community; he runs the shop with his loving but reluctant son, Lamont (Demond Wilson), who is always threatening to leave the business. Aunt Esther visits frequently, toting her Bible and her alcoholic husband, Woody. Donna Harris (Lynn Hamilton) is Fred's steady girlfriend, who is a nurse and a voice of reason in the somewhat chaotic life of the Sanfords. In season six, Fred inadvertently becomes a jewel smuggler, attempts to get his name in the GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, and enters a Redd Foxx lookalike contest. Episodes include "Here Today, Gone Today," "Sanford and Gong," "Fred the Activist," and "School Daze."
Sanford and Son: The Fifth Season 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.
