I miss when old people were like this. Della Reese is dressed how my grandma used to dress back then lol and their relationship is how my other grandparents used to interact. I was a kid when this came on initially,I really miss the black society I grew up on.
I was just watching some these episodes this morning then I just heard that Della Reese died today that makes me sad may she and Redd Foxx rest in peace.
I love this show. They don't make them like this anymore. Its sad that this generation that's coming has nothing but garbage to watch on television. Shows like these had a positive message and image as well. The Royal family was one of those shows you didn't mind your children watching. Now this stuff that comes on today makes me run. Thank God I grew up watching shows like this.
"I feel like a new man!" "Me too, but I think I'm gone stay with you..." Hilarious!! I'm steals that for sure! I love Redd and Della!! And Larenze Tate! Who knew he was on this show!?
C. Buck Hyres it was, but that’s not why the he went busted. He never paid his taxes. But he was on the rebound when he was doing this show and then he died on the set.
@Vegas Mitchell so judgemental and ignorant. Did you ever think that maybe, coming from poverty, that he hated seeing people he cared about in poverty? And gambling is just as much as a disease as any other addiction? But most importantly, who needs your sympathy? You say "I never felt sorry" as if anyone asked you to.
Wow. . .just WOW I'm so grateful we have something as incredible as RUclips there's so much I've never discovered I learn something new everyday I have NEVER seen or even heard of this show in my life even tho I was only a 1 year old baby when this was made this is such an incredible piece of black entertainment history Eddie Murphy created this show with a practically all-star cast R.I.P. Redd Foxx and Della Reese.. I never expected to see a little Naya Rivera and I never realized she was also Little Richie's friend on Family Matters she's literally been acting all her life and now she's in the tabloids for her messy fight with her husband lol smh and Larenz Tate who went on to become a very well respected Veteran of actors and still looks exactly the same..this was a gem that I just happened to randomly stumble upon..thanks for uploading and keeping incredible things like this going for the next generations to see 💯✊🙌👑🔥
rip red fox this my first time seeing this show i loved his show sanford and son hes verry funny.he died of an heart attack doing this show. thank you della reese for a wonderful show
Redd Foxx- Born john elroy sanford. born december 9 1922- died october 12 1991 at the age of 68. great comedian and actor HE was so broke when he died that eddie murphy paid for his funeral
after Redd Foxx's passing they brought in Jackee' Harry, first to play Della Reese's sister Ruth, then the show went on hiatus to re-work the series premise...when the show returned, instead of being Della Reese's sister, she became the Royal's oldest daughter, named Coco...but after Redd's death the show didn't match the ratings it did when Foxx was on the show
Sadly, Redd Foxx had a heart attack on the set of this show. The cast was slow to react because they thought he was playing like the Fred Sanford character did. He was revived but died later that night at the hospital. I remember when this happened. He was only 68 years old.
This show, just like "8 Simple Rules" and "Chico and the Man" was on its way to being a long-running classic, but when it's main star suddenly passed away, rather than simply end the show, they chose to continue. The obvious conclusion was that the magic just wasn't there anymore. The big hole left by the dearly departed star could never be filled by a replacement.
who left this milk in the refrigerator with just a SWALLA IN THE CONTAINAH! HA! that line she also said in Harlem Nights!!! DELLA! This show didnt last long but had great potential and a real good ensemble cast. The bad news? Redd Foxx had a heart attack ON the set of this show and died there.
This show could've had a chance had Redd Foxx not passed on. It was a VERY lame idea to add Jackee' to the show after he died. Della said Redd's character wasnt even mentioned in a death or phased out. He was treated like a recurring character. There one day gone the next. What a way 2 treat a comedy legend.
soulman2000 His death was mentioned. They had a funeral episode. Don Bexley, Slappy White and Reynaldo Rey were in it. Doesn't change the fact that the Producer killed him, though.
TEVIN WILLIAMS maybe so but he was a old man and lived amazing life so I bet he was happy cause shit you can’t take none of those things with you after you die... and you really never own nothing and most of the time when you rich your damn family fight over everything even if you have a will.. so shit in his case nobody gets nothing cause the RIS took everything
***** Too bad he isn't recognized for it. His Star should really be bigger than it is. I have one of his concerts on DVD and with the First joke had us all laughing.
Mother Father, even the greats like Redd Foxx were treated like sheeple. Such a shame the producers displayed no remorse during the time of his death. I've always said corporate America will step over your dead body to turn a dollar. Foxx, you ol' heathen I miss you.
This was a hilarious show with dela reese and red fox you can't go rong it was sad to hear that red fox passed especially on the set but he may be gone but will never be forgotten rest in peace my brother and i hope ms dela reese is still with us i haven't heard other wise cause she is a damn good actress and real funny too.............
So sad #ReddFoxx) was Making, his come back with this show OH yes it was a hit but sadly as we all know he passed away on the set while filming rest in peace my brother Redd Foxx and my beautiful sister Della Reese 2 Class Actors Most of All let us no forget" entertainers, as well as... Legends tonight it just turned a new year 20/20 and look you see that us your fans have not forgotten about the both of you when it's time for me to leave this world your names will still carry on May God bless the both of you ( 👼)
Just watched Lorenz Tate on the Breakfast Club and he mentioned this show. I remember watching and loving for this show and hoping for Redd Foxx to fix his finances, then he died. Another show I liked was 'Me and the Boys' with Steve Harvey and Madge Sinclair - then Madge died. SAD
This is funny. Never seen it before today. Maybe I did see a commercial but thats the same time period I discovered the clubs. Wish the show couldve went on. :-(
Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't very old but don't remember this. I thought Redd Fox died during Sanford and son. I absolutely adored Home Improvement. Wish they would have a reunion show. Totally forgot about Harlem Nights. Guess he didn't die right after. My apologies.
So sad when Naya (Hilary) said "I'm going to be old one day, I want my piece now!!😭😢😢 R.I.P gone way to soon, sis!!
I was thinking the same thing
I miss when old people were like this. Della Reese is dressed how my grandma used to dress back then lol and their relationship is how my other grandparents used to interact. I was a kid when this came on initially,I really miss the black society I grew up on.
How are your
My grandmother and grandfather were so different
Exactly mine too. Those were some good times.
RIP Della Reese & Redd Foxx!
Yes two legends
Della is still alive.
Della Reese is dead!? Are you sure?
@@Liawino I apologize. I recently found out that she did pass away years ago.
@@shadracer2838 Thanks so much. I recently found out.
Redd Fox and Della Reese had good chemistry.
Redd Foxx and Della Reese were two of the GREATEST legends in show business I hope that the both of them are really able to rest peacefully "RIP"
And little Naya, too!
😂😂 who put this milk in the refrigerator with just a swallow left🙌🙌 Harlem nights😂😂 just with orange juice
I know right. I got a laugh from that.
Trinity Cummings that is a refrigerator joke
J.D. Whitfie
It's a Halen Nights joke because the same thing happened to the same actors in Harlem Nights
Juanita Franklin classic.
LOL the milk part was reference to Harlem Nights, lol.
Yes lol
Makes sense, Eddie Murphy created that movie and this show.
Wasn't it Orange juice in Harlem Nights?
@@raymondsolisjr.1262
Yep
Raymond Solis Jr. yes.
Awww RIP Naya. I remember this so well.
Rest Easy Della Reese!
Bianca Moore We miss her
Bianca Moore And Redd Foxx!
I was just watching some these episodes this morning then I just heard that Della Reese died today that makes me sad may she and Redd Foxx rest in peace.
Reds fox, fella reese, and naya rivers are all in heaven !!!!.
I love this show. They don't make them like this anymore. Its sad that this generation that's coming has nothing but garbage to watch on television. Shows like these had a positive message and image as well. The Royal family was one of those shows you didn't mind your children watching. Now this stuff that comes on today makes me run. Thank God I grew up watching shows like this.
Redd Foxx: I'm fine. I feel like a new man.
Della Reese: I do too, but I think I'm gonna keep you.
LOL!!!!!! Brilliant!
Crystal Grose I laughed out loud.
"I feel like a new man!" "Me too, but I think I'm gone stay with you..." Hilarious!! I'm steals that for sure! I love Redd and Della!! And Larenze Tate! Who knew he was on this show!?
R I P TO ONE OF OUR TOP STARS MS DELLA RESSE WE TRULY APPERCIATE ALL YOU HAVE EVER DONE AND WE WILL MISS YOU
Da Boi LeN-OX it was Kim it was me
i was a teen when this show came out but i am glad that it was posted here for me to view again. it was on a start to something good. RIP to Redd Foxx
What?! How did I miss this show back in the 90s? Great cast!!
Just heard Della Reese account on how the producers treated Foxx like crap. No wonder Eddie paid for his funeral, I never knew he created this show.
C. Buck Hyres it was, but that’s not why the he went busted. He never paid his taxes. But he was on the rebound when he was doing this show and then he died on the set.
Damn
@Vegas Mitchell so judgemental and ignorant. Did you ever think that maybe, coming from poverty, that he hated seeing people he cared about in poverty? And gambling is just as much as a disease as any other addiction?
But most importantly, who needs your sympathy? You say "I never felt sorry" as if anyone asked you to.
@david shawn Yes they did. Check out her interview Reese interview on Foxx death
Redd Foxx Also Couldn’t Read Write Or Spell So let’s Not Act Like This Didn’t Play A Role Of Him Going Broke
Della Reese was sounding like Harlem Nights w/"who put the milk in the fridge w/just a swallow? " switch the milk & orange juice & there you go. Lol.😂
r.i.p great actor's
R.i.p. dj
Wow. . .just WOW I'm so grateful we have something as incredible as RUclips there's so much I've never discovered I learn something new everyday I have NEVER seen or even heard of this show in my life even tho I was only a 1 year old baby when this was made this is such an incredible piece of black entertainment history Eddie Murphy created this show with a practically all-star cast R.I.P.

Have you seen on our own? The simolete
Fkt
"Who put this milk in the refrigerator with just a swallow left in the container?" I was sooooo hoping that she would continue on that theme!
I got my mouth all ready for some milk and it ain't but a swallow in the container
Charles Hamilton well swalla it & shut da fuck up! Lol
Della Reese and Larenz Tate were the highlight of this show.
And not Redd Foxx? GTFO
I remember this show. Thea and some of the other stuff. Thanks for posting this.
Lorenzo Tate, Della Reese, and Rex Foxx in one show. WOW! Talk about a star-studded cast.
Thanks RUclips for sharing such an inspiring show never seen this on tv since I was born. Thanks a lot
Lorenz Tate still looks the same.
The Bobby Jarel it looked cuter on south central.

rip red fox this my first time seeing this show i loved his show sanford and son hes verry funny.he died of an heart attack doing this show. thank you della reese for a wonderful show
This would have been a great show if Redd hadn't passed. He and Della had a great chemistry..... Sad!!! It was his comeback.
Two great actor's made to play roles together.....R.I.P
OMG! I stopped it at 31 seconds. I'm cackling and can't contain myself! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't even know this show existed!
Redd Foxx- Born john elroy sanford. born december 9 1922- died october 12 1991 at the age of 68. great comedian and actor
HE was so broke when he died that eddie murphy paid for his funeral
IRS stole....Sorry I mean took his money. Bunch of thieves.
steve jackley
steve jackley yup this show would've been successful if he didnt died I feel like it would have been his comeback
Damn, that's a shame I didn't know he was broke.
+Se'renity yea n he had his cars n house took away by IRS...they treated him bad..sad..May his soul rest in peace
Naya Rivera is so adorable little and a sweetheart!
How come I never saw this ?
miche b I said the same thing 👀 and I know bout every old show but this one shit I’m 35 now
after Redd Foxx's passing they brought in Jackee' Harry, first to play Della Reese's sister Ruth, then the show went on hiatus to re-work the series premise...when the show returned, instead of being Della Reese's sister, she became the Royal's oldest daughter, named Coco...but after Redd's death the show didn't match the ratings it did when Foxx was on the show

I've never seen this show before this is the reason I live youtube always something new to discover
"He was in that group with Jack Lemmon...and uh....Bingo."
Beatles reference 🎸🎶
This show, just like "8 Simple Rules" and "Chico and the Man" was on its way to being a long-running classic, but when it's main star suddenly passed away, rather than simply end the show, they chose to continue.

the producers spat on redd's grave
I loved this show ❤
I had to go outside and turn the huge antenna to see this on network tv. 📺 ha. Wow. Those days.
who left this milk in the refrigerator with just a SWALLA IN THE CONTAINAH! HA! that line she also said in Harlem Nights!!! DELLA! This show didnt last long but had great potential and a real good ensemble cast. The bad news? Redd Foxx had a heart attack ON the set of this show and died there.
Rest in peace Della, Redd, and Naya
this show was created by Eddie Murphy
Didn't know that.
Mercedes Pettiford I didn't know that
WOW!!!
PATRICO DE SOUZA!!! Shut the hell up....
Foreign MilkyWay really
Mr. Foxx and Mrs. Reese, RIP💔💔💔. I MISS THEM💔
the way she said "i'm gonna be old someday"💔
That was really sad. 😥
I was fortunate to watch this show with my family when it originally aired.
This show could've had a chance had Redd Foxx not passed on. It was a VERY lame idea to add Jackee' to the show after he died. Della said Redd's character wasnt even mentioned in a death or phased out. He was treated like a recurring character. There one day gone the next. What a way 2 treat a comedy legend.
soulman2000 they never treat the black legends with respect
soulman2000 His death was mentioned. They had a funeral episode. Don Bexley, Slappy White and Reynaldo Rey were in it. Doesn't change the fact that the Producer killed him, though.
Too bad Redd had to go out the way he did. R.I.P
TEVIN WILLIAMS maybe so but he was a old man and lived amazing life so I bet he was happy cause shit you can’t take none of those things with you after you die... and you really never own nothing and most of the time when you rich your damn family fight over everything even if you have a will.. so shit in his case nobody gets nothing cause the RIS took everything
Redd was so effortlessly funny. And he and della had the best chemistry
Fred and Della together 😭😭😭
I don't remember this show. I can't wait to watch it!
A SWALLOW LEFT IN THE CONTAINER!! 😅😅😅 LOVE THAT LINE ❤️
Fred looks amazing here, he is roughly in his 80's-early 90's.
***** Really? I could have sworn Redd was older way older than that. Huh thanks for clearing that up.
***** Very young. He looked good for his age tho, very good. He looks had he not had that Heart Attack, like he would have live another 10-15yrs easy.
***** Too bad he isn't recognized for it. His Star should really be bigger than it is. I have one of his concerts on DVD and with the First joke had us all laughing.
***** Do you think they will release the Sanford serries?
Redd Foxx was 49 when Sanford and Son started. Grady was 40. They were both made to look older for the show.
Mother Father, even the greats like Redd Foxx were treated like sheeple. Such a shame the producers displayed no remorse during the time of his death. I've always said corporate America will step over your dead body to turn a dollar. Foxx, you ol' heathen I miss you.
Chef Mario D. Lacy thats so messed up how they treated them
n these employers are the same way o n these jobs
Thank u for sharing this, 2 of my favorite people in Hollywood Rest I'm power Redd and Della
Its sad he played like he had a heart attack for yrs..............sad wow .........
Anthony lucky Wright Yes. Hi
fred g's last t.v. series, good look eddie murphy for keeping fred g doing thangs, the funniest comedian ever, but eddie is a close second.
Royal Family was really a great tv show !
Yooooo!! I don't even remember this joint. This is crazy.

Loved this show!
*YAAAAASSSS...SHE HAD HER MOUTH READY FOR SOME MILK AND IT WAS JUST A SWALLOW LMAO*
rest in peace Della Reese and red fox
Just watched Lorenz Tate on the Breakfast Club and he mentioned this show. I remember watching and loving for this show and hoping for Redd Foxx to fix his finances, then he died. Another show I liked was 'Me and the Boys' with Steve Harvey and Madge Sinclair - then Madge died. SAD
Jearl
Barbara5 I C, What?
Yeah.... That was so sad on both occasions!! I remember that show as well and the one Sinbad had...
i love this show im 20 years old and loved Della and Redd may they both RIP
Whoooooooa. I'm gonna find the rest of these clips.
I used to love this show
Redd Foxx was the saving grace of this show. The other members of the family didn't work. Redd was comedic gold.
I wish Redd Foxx could have lived long enough to do several seasons of this show it would be a classic buy now just like Sanford and son
Did EDDIE MURPHY create the show after HARLEM NIGHTS?
+Antrena Gardner yeah, you can say that.
Antrena Gardner yes
During actually
Yes. Della Reese talks about it in an interview.
Antrena Gardner Yes. Hi. Good
Alexander And Victoria Royal Were Really GOALS😵😘😍
Della was hilarious!
Good show 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great theme song.
I loved when Curtis insults his sister with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference
This seems to be a good show and good concept. it could even work today
It was Kim with her Mutant Ninja Mouth.
I don’t remember this show at all and I thought I seen them all
Poor sweet Naya :( she was multitalented.
RIP MS. DELLA REESE
The mom sounds like she's reading!
I never in my life knew about this show
This is funny. Never seen it before today. Maybe I did see a commercial but thats the same time period I discovered the clubs. Wish the show couldve went on. :-(
RIP redd and Dela😢❤
I love this movie and my favorite people 💞💞💞💞💞💞👊👍😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤
I don't remember this show and I should🤔🤭😂😩 2 legends in it🤷🏾♀️
I wonder if it was Larenz Tate (the boy) who was singing the theme song. It sounded like him.
Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't very old but don't remember this. I thought Redd Fox died during Sanford and son. I absolutely adored Home Improvement. Wish they would have a reunion show. Totally forgot about Harlem Nights. Guess he didn't die right after. My apologies.
