    Although the clips were funny, they are in no way the funniest clips from that show! Please watch full episodes (especially from the first few seasons) if you want to belly laugh….. there’s an episode where Fred and Lamont are going over household bills and Fred gets mad at the phone company and calls them up to complain…..HILARIOUS

      We'll be starting that show, but we'll have to do it over on our SillieVerse Page because YT blocks our full length reactions on certain shows.
      We just finished Black Dynamite and currently watching Martin, Chappelle Show, Drawn Together etc. Because we just finished BD, we'll see if I can get ALL the seasons to react to 😁
      Check it out and hopefully we'll see ya over there sometime. Thank you so much for the interaction Mr.Pragmaticone🙏-M@

    Did you know that Fred Sanford and Esther Winfield Anderson had known each other since they were 5 yrs old? When they were looking for someone to play Aunt Esther Fred suggested her because he said when the writers described Aunt Esther she pop in his head. When Fred started another show he hired Esther in that one too. Aunt Esther in the show knew Fred and didn't like him because she thought he wasn't a good guy, her sister Elizabeth met Fred and they were married. Obviously Esther thought Elizabeth was to good for Fred and hated him.

    Red Foxx and LaWanda Page grew up together in St. Louis and worked the comedy circuit over the years. When the network offered Foxx a show he told them he wanted Page to play Aunt Esther and they didn't since she had no TV acting experience. Red Foxx told them if they didn't give her the part he wasn't doing the show. They were great friends in RL.

    This show premiered in 1974 and was hilarious. Another must is "All In The Family" which premiered in 1971.
    Ask your dad about that show, he'll tell it's a must watch.
    Probably the greatest sitcom in history. The living room set is on display at the Smithsonian, that's how culturally important the show was. The show revolves around Archie Bunker, his wife Edith, daughter Gloria and son in law
    (Meathead) Mike.
    A great start would be "All In The Family, Compilation Of Archie Bunker On Religion" Hilarious!
    Also, "All In The Family Archie Bunker's Most Racist Comments" it's like 23 minutes long and a must watch.
    I was born in 1957, so many great shows on in the 60's and 70's. Those days are gone forever.
    Peace ❤

    A lot of shows didn't have Q Cards where they can read from.
    Most of the time (Redd Foxx) Fred did his lines off the top of his head. Say say he could not read, or read too well.
    Redd Foxx (Fred) was also a very good friend of Malcolm X. They both used to work together in a restaurant , this before they both achieved fame.
    Both Redd Foxx and Malcom X both had fire red hair.
    Redd Foxx always kept Malcolm X laughing.. You'll find this in"""The Autobiography of Malcolm X"""
    Ohh, I almost forgot. I met Redd Foxx and Slappy White when I was a little boy around the age of 11 years old.
    Great and funny guys, two of them standing side by side..
    I knew Louis Armstrong too he lived two blocks from me.
