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.

I've lived with the wit and antics of Fred Sanford, played by Redd Foxx, and his son Lamont - played by Demond Wilson - ever since. I keep coming back to these shows after periods of not watching them, so have collected the entire series over the past 3 years. Redd Foxx was criticized as being narrow in his acting, range of roles, and crude in language and inuendo, but by the year 2005's standards his language is quite clean. And his acting is funny: Fred Sanford is vain, selfish, always out for an easy way to make a buck (honesty not always a pre-requisite), and always ready to tell off the people who rub him the wrong way. Fred Sanford has the traits all of us do, if we'd be honest and admit it. And the way Sanford talks to his son, his friends, his wife's family - is how we would like to deal with people in polite society, but don't, as it's not polite or politically correct. Demond Wilson is excellent as Lamont Sanford, the frustrated 30s aged son who'd like to find himself and get out and do something different than working with his father. How they ever get anything done or make a profit is beyond me, but that's entertainment. And this IS entertaining. I hope today's young people in their teens and 20s, born after this series was made, will see these on TV or DVD, and enjoy the wit and humor of the Sanfords. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/4253665-sanford-and-son-the-first-season](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/4253665-sanford-and-son-the-first-season) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
