There was no greater joy as a boy then staying all night with my grandparents and watching Sanford and son.👈
The grandparents creed is to fill them up with sugar and send them home.
You are so right about that my brother I think I was nine years old when it first started started in 1972 myself my three sisters and my mother used to watch Sanford and Son on Fridays those were the good days my mom is gone now and my grandparents but those are the days St Louis in the house
@Arlando Little you are so right my friend back in those days when it first started I was 9 years old in 1972 now I'm 57 and I've lost everybody in my family so times are so different today for me and it has a family that's what we did to go sit down and watch Sanford and Son
Best Comment Award...
@@if6turnedouttobe9 thank you for your reply
Demond Wilson Vietnam combat veteran WIA and still married to the same woman since 1974
Give him respect.
That big dummy
@No Bull how was he in person? ive read hes been tough in interviews, i.e. not the most pleasant person/tough to deal with.
Just like my parents together till death do them part.
Wonder what kinda money they made per episode.
Great show when I was a kid, along with the Jeffersons, 3s company, Archy Bunker..
That's what I want
I used to love when Aunt Ester would call Fred “You Ole Fish eyed Fool!” 😂😂
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
@@jerrywestaway9316 😂😂
Esther once called him a silly fool. Without missing a beat, he called her a cessy pool. 😂
You old HEATHEN! 🤣
Lol
As a kid, I used to watch this show here in Mexico and even though I didn't speak a word of english- it had me laughing so much! I have the complete series on DVD now. 😊🥰
What would make you laugh not knowing a lick of English?
@@SlickArmor I guess I was probably 5 or 6 when I began watching this show. I went to private, bilingual schools all my life since age 5 so slowly but surely I began to understand American sitcoms. I guess the way they talked and the audience laughing made ME laugh. Maybe that's it.
@@edyann That's very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
"I want my daddie's records!!"
-Bubba
mazzb305 lmaoooo blind mellow jelly
I love that one
@@jazz75052 Didn't Fred end up sitting on the records in the end and breaking them?
Galaxy Rocks Bubba was supposed to load them up in the truck but sat them on the ground instead and lamont backed up over them
Yesssss💋
THE funniest comedy on television. My 98 year old aunt's favorite show to this day. There wasn't an episode that didn't have you laughing out loud when he went off on Aunt Ester. A gem that only the genius of John Sanford could pull off.
“I’m gonna roll your face in dough and make guerilla cookies”..best cutdown quote ever
The other best cut down line was when he told Esther that "Samson killed 1,000 Phillistines with your Jawbone!"
That quip from Fred was so funny that even LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther) almost got out of character laughing at it. So many great memories from that show.
Mixing Ginger Ale with Ripple to make "Champipple".
Jeff Davis aunt Esther was comedy gold
Another favorite of mine:
"You need to start using some toothpaste with your hair shampoo for the cavity between your ears."
Used to watch this and "Chico and the Man".
Loved that show..
"Get outta my garage!"
(Jack Albertson)
Word Chico and the man 😂
@Junior Mudd No sir. You're thinking of Julio, his neighbor, who had a goat. He also had a black friend named Rollo. Chico was Freddie Prinze.
@@jbsoul4575 yep, I stand corrected. Thank you. Deleted my previous answer. Damn, hate it when that happens.
I love the actual location of the home/junkyard I just wish it was made a historical location and was left like it was.
Right. At least some kind of memorial/landmarker
Tell us about it! Couldn't agree with you more!
Someone should buy it and make it look like the building in the intro and if possible try to make it a museum make it look like the inside of the set house
Wow, fifty years, makes me fill old. Remember seeing this on NBC in the 70’s.
No the show is 48 years old came out in 1972
Black Entertainment History Still makes me fill old.
Right in the 70s
I always cracked up when Fred called lamont: "...you big dummy!"
My adult son and I have a similar dynamic at times. He has heard "big dummy" (he is taller than me) a few times. We then laugh, remembering Fred and Lamont.
Julio and the dam Foolio.
How about aunt Esther ?😆
Rollo's been smoking those Mexican jolly joints.
@@norms3913 oh boy!! I loved aunt Esther!! She was the BEST!!
The actual building was the most interesting to me, I'm 59 years old and these video's transport me back in time to a magical place of my youth. l Ty
From a time when we could laugh at each other with a friendly smile and people didn't get offended. He was able to make light of any situation and bring people together. His bigoted character was what made him so funny on the show.
Interesting notes: Redd Foxx was born John Sanford and his father's name: Fred Sanford.
Demond Wilson, who played son Lamont, eventually became an ordained minister.
I was on a flight once with Wilson.... he was a total asshole! The way he treated staff and fellow passengers was despicable... truly outrageous and completely unnecessary.
To me, how one treats others is the true measure of his character.
Now we must have Party Approved Correct Thinking and Speech.
Lamont was many times high as a kite. Check out how glossy his eyeballs were during the later series episodes.
@@CONCERTMANchicago He and Redd Foxx both were into that white powder.
Chad Portenga... The Grady Wilson character, played by the Whitman Blount Mayo Jr, was named after Demond Wilson... who is actually named “GRADY” Demond Wilson.
this show brought laughter from my dad...always thrilled me as a kid.
Thank you for this!!!! Sanford and Son is and always will be a classic!
There is NO GREATER Fan on Earth than me of this classic show..I want to thank you for showing me what I already tried to find and couldn't (on the net).of where the opening/closing scene location was/is...this 47 yr old south Jersey girl..(tucsonan since 20yrs old)thanks you much for posting this!
Wikipedia Sanford and Son bldg location/address
What part of South Jersey?? Thats where I lived for my entire life, I'm 49
Love this show I watched as a kid and still watch on retro channels.
@Black Buick Like the piano moving episode.... They took a weed whacker to that one....
I liked the actual building where the opening scene showed Lamont pulling into the yard. I am glad to see the building is still standing. Sanford and son was at the top of the list of my favorite shows back in the day. It’s too bad they didn’t get to film more seasons of the show, because their was a lot of great talent on that stage and their was never a dull moment.
Don't think I have a favorite episode. but watching Fred and Esther go at it was always the best part of the show.
"Sanford and Son" was one of the funniest sit-coms of all-time and it was very cool to see the original location of where the opening sequence and building was shot for the show. 👍
My late Dad always liked Sanford and Son. He owned a small business, and told me that they had a new Ford pickup truck that was the same model and color as Fred's truck. 😎
Man, if I were the owner of the store, I would have a plaque commemorating that.
@@TVJAB I agree! It doesn't match up.
@@TVJAB The guy did his research he knows where it was filmed in the 1970s
@@cvdixon29 I believe the guy did his correct research
@@TVJAB That was 50 years ago. Things change.
@@TVJAB is that a towing company now and the building next to it is a theater right ?
I watched Sanford and Son when I was a kid back in the 70s. Have great memories of that show and other shows of the day I watched too much TV as a kid. Unfortunately. But hey I'm here. Amazing but true. LOL
I forgot to leave a comment about the location. The location I found the most fascinating was the location where it was filmed. They had a nostalgic sense. In a way it was disappointing to see that it had changed. Because in my imagination I still have the way it looked when they were actually in the house in filming. I always like to think that those locations are preserved for posterity what is posterity . LOL. These shows gave us comfort as children and so it's kind of shocking to see that they're not maintained as Museum pieces. Kind of the way that Dave Letterman show was dismantled and everything thrown away and disposed of is what I heard. And as a child it seemed more real to me. Anyhow, I like to think that somehow and someway these locations are preserved, somewhere in the Twilight Zone.
Redd Foxx is a true legend!
I enjoyed the address location it really gives u a visual of where the Sanford junk empire was during that time. Very interesting content great work keep it up.
I agree, the location videos are my favorite. Needs to do six million dollar man and and my childhood will be complete.
The driveway between the building is way smaller on the show and this driveway you show is 3 times as wide. I do not think the location you found is correct.
Thank for taking us older people back so that we can reminisce on the iconic sitcom that gave our generation and many more countless laughs with that stellar cast of characters. 👍😂✊
I remember seeing them film the opening scene at this location on Magnolia and Cartwright in North Hollywood. I lived on the next street over which is Willowcrest Ave. Also, back in the late 1960's to some time in the 1970's, that location was an actual second-hand store called "Joe's Salvage and Junk Shop" that was owned by Joe Lawler (he looked like Jack Albertson's character " the man" in Chico and the Man). He later added a "theater" in the back of the building for stage plays. Me and some of my buddies from around the neighborhood used to go there and check out the merchandise. There was a very large yard in the back of the building that had lots of "stuff" for sale. You name it, they had it... the good old days! The original building that was seen in the show was razed in 1989 and the existing new structure was built.
Wow… Very informative. Thank you so much my brother.
@@TheGlass50 - they also filmed a rescue on an episode of "Emergency" at this location.
@@HighSierraBob Funny thing both shows debuted in Jan. of 1972, not only ran till 1977 but kept their same time slot with S&S on Fridays and Emergency on Saturdays both and 8PM.
You actually witnessed the filming of the closing & opening themes. That is so fascinating! You sure are lucky to have had that once in a lifetime experience. How much of the experience do you recollect? 50 years ago! Am guessing that's a long time ago to remember many of the details of the filming. Wow, it's so cool that you were there at that time! Wish to have had the same experience!
Omg I would have loved to have seen that
Seems like yesterday that my grandparents who loved to search out old neat stuff would drive up Magnolia Boulevard to the SELECT SHOP (actual name of location shop) and visit with owner Joe Lawler and look around his shop. Joe was thrilled when a location scout said they'd like to use his store for a t.v. show shoot. The rest is history. Those were the days.❤
Loved seeing where the opening scene was shot. My dad was a big fan of Redd Foxx.
He saw him perform in night clubs years before this show was on TV.
I saw him in Las Vegas. It was the funniest thing ever. I couldn’t stop laughing.
50 years later and the show still makes me laugh. Good video. Good info.😆
One of the funniest shows in my life, greatest them song ever. My mind is blown as I live around the corner from the junkyard location and I'm just finding this out now!!!! Gonna walk over and take a look! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!
I think seeing the site where Lamont drove into and Fred sat reading the paper was very cool to see. It might not look the same but it nice to see. And it’s nice to see the improvements done over the decades. Sanford and Son has stood the test of time and is still very funny and entertaining.
I used to watch this with my dad back in the day. I wish he was still here to see these awesome videos you make. I think the opening credits scene is the best part here. Thanks for all your work! 🙂
I grew up watching Sanford and Sons. I’m 59, so I think I was watching the originals. My son is special needs and loves that show.
Your final location was not dressed up to look like South Central. Except for the sign, It was an actual junk store I used to frequent as a kid. I lived around the corner.
Jeffrey Miller I am envious of you! You’re so lucky to have visited that store. Was there something that you bought that you still have today?
Jeffrey Miller that’s cool
@@TVJAB That's just an illusion because the camera angle of the old film and the new photo are different. You can tell by looking at the new photo and the size of the driveway outlined in the concrete. That's still only one vehicle's width for the most part. So it's the same size, and like he said, that street sign pole and oddly shaped building in the background are dead giveaways. Old film has a way of squishing things to make them appear smaller. I've done this kind of stuff with old movie scenes paused and comparing the location in Google Maps, and it always looks much smaller in the old movie.
The word you want is fictitious or fictional.
Yes this is the actual bldg, its even on Wikipedia when you search Sanford and Son bldg address
I love seeing the actual film locations and how they look today. Looking forward to more of your videos!
"Sanford" and "All in the Family" were my grandfather's favorite shows. Weren't they both on Saturday night for a while? Anyway, our tradition was to make raspberry milkshakes and watch together. He was also a fan of wrestling which came on really late Saturday night. Fun times. I'm patiently waiting for grandchildren of my own to do fun things with...
Sanford and Son was on NBC and All in the Family was on CBS. I don't remember if they were ever on the same night.
The "Crusher" ,Mad dog Vachon, Bobby Heenan, the "Barron" it was great times
Two awesome shows! Too bad that those type of shows would never ever be made today due to liberalism and them being offended by anything and everything. Comedy is dead
Prairie Viking They're still on "Get TV" here the channel is 33.2 over the air, but check your listings for channel in your area. I watch them regularly. Even though I've been through the cycle of shows I never grow tired of watching.
All in the family Sunday night, Sanford and son Friday night
I liked the comparison from the Google street view vs the credit view. Thanks for you putting this walk down memory lane together. I can’t believe it’s been 50 years.
Loved that the location is now a plumbing outfit. Imagine Lamont and Fred as plumbers and the kind of trouble they could have gotten into.
The irony is I live in East Liverpool, OH. And there is a business called Sanford And Son Plumbing and Supplies
@@philipmclaughlin9636 imagine them running a hotel together lol
They should name their business “Super Barrio Bros”
@@MikeLutton Well, they did that on Sandford and Son. It was called Sanford Arms.
fred hey esther go clean up the room upstairs mabye the cleaning stuff can ugly that face away while your at it lol
The workplace and house of Fred and Lamont is most Exciting to see. Wow, you are on point, with this. I have watched Sanfor and Son since 1972. And still do watch the show. I was 12 years old at that time. I'm 62 now. Again, thank you very very much for this. Going back in time seeing the real locations. Giovanni
Great research as always, Rick. Thanks. Amazing to see that most of these locations still exist, albeit re-branded to different uses. The plumbing shop/brick-a-brack store must have drawn some attention to the occupants over the years by people thinking it may look like Fred and Lamont's residence inside still.
Growing up in Savannah I saw my first episode and I became a huge nerd of S and S for a long time, still am...😎
I ALREADY HAVE THE WHOLE SERIES!!
Rickey ,YES I DO TOO!😂
I grew up on 91st and Central during the filming of Sanford And Son, the house I lived in could be seen on Google maps. At that time 9114 Central Ave was a parole/probation office, where I learned to play basketball, shoot pool, play ping pong as well as race cars on a track. The granite place was a gas station, the fast food place was one of the original Fat Burgers where they had the best chili fritos. A small church was across the street. Even though I have gone on to bigger and better things, my most fondest memories of life are on that corner.
I have every episode on DVD. I can watch the same episode 1000 times and say what line is going to be said before the actor says it. My family was shocked when I was watching Sanford and Son at a recent family birthday party.

Fred says to the white cop,
What have you got against black drivers?
Loved seeing the original store front junk yard of Sanford and Son was originally filmed thank you.
I was just in Los Angeles for the weekend with my husband for our anniversary because he knows I get into all this stuff!! I love your channel 👍🏻
You have a *SNIPE NOSE!*
Did you drive by this location?
My favorite show by far ! It's hard to pick any one particular part I like best.
I know that Central Ave location very well. In the early 80's the chicken place was a KFC and the North Hollywood location my friend lives not too far from there. Amazing.
Andre Dupuis was it KFC before Quik N Split?
@@uniqueorganicshaircare9880 I made a mistake the KFC in the 70's and 80's was located on 88th and Central Ave. Now I see it has been moved on Manchester and Central and combined with Taco Bell I remember pops back then taking me to the old one our last time in 1981 when I was 8. That chicken place probably came years later. We moved from LA in 82. I came back in 95. The main thing I remember is the Liquor store because that is where I got my Twinkies then lol. 92nd St residents then for Christmas used to really dress up their homes I remember. Good times being in my father's junk truck.
@@uniqueorganicshaircare9880 it was a Quick N Split
As a kid in the 80s, at granny's house, if u got in trouble you had to sit with grandpa in the den...he'd be in there smoking a cigar & watching Sanford n son!!! I used to get in trouble on purpose jus to sit with grandpa and get my roasts for the playground later on 🤣🤣
I loved seeing the old NBC studio. Great video!
I lived for Sanford and Son growing up!! I loved it. I really liked seeing where the junkyard was. Always wondered where it really was.
“Oh Elizabeth, it’s the big one, I’m comin’ to see you”
“How ‘bout one right across that lip”
“Enter your ugliness”
Great googly moogly 😆😆😆
"That's 'S-A-N-F-O-R-D. Period."
"How about five across your lip?"
"I'll give you five across yole eyes!"
I don't think TV at that time could have really shown how funny Redd Foxx was.
"Aunt Hazel, You mean Witch Hazel!"
Wasn't their an aunt hazel too? Early on in the show? I think she was on the one where Lamont was going to get married and the bride to be said no when the minister asked if she takes this man to be her lawfully wedded husband....
This was the best show ever I watch it every day and before I go bed.I started watching this show as a kid and laugh at it everytime I watch it.Fred is the man. The house were they lived and what it is today is cool also to see the signs and pole that you see when the show comes on
One of my fave shows. So funny. Fred Sanford was such a character. Loved him and aunt Esther. It's crazy how they Hated each other on the show but in real life they were best friends. And Red said he wouldn't do the show unless she was in the show with him. So epic. Loved this show.
God you're beautiful!
Another GREAT JOB Rick . Thanks For All your Hard and Caring Work !
That's s -a-n-f-o-r-d period.
@Black Buick I wish I had a list of all the things he ever said that the G. stood for!
@Willie Cosey And the G stands for godfather
I plan to party lightly slightly politely and if possible all nightly. Lmbo. Fred was a fool.
Episode Copper Caper Fred said, "Because he's white dont mean he dumb." Lmbo
In episode Fred Donna and Carol Fred said, "She gotta fine brown frame, all I can see she looks good to me she has a fine brown frame." Lmbo!!!
Amazing video that shows us fans of Sanford and Son the opening credits location as it looks 50 years later
It was and still is one of my favorite shows I have all the episodes on dvd I just wish they did more seasons
I love Sanford and son is one of my favorite shows I might be 41 but I am a old school person at heart thank you for sharing this God bless and have a good day
Hard to believe it's been 50 years. I would love to visit the site of the old junkyard. So many memories growing up watching this show
Thanks for doing this, sure brings back memories of my youth watching episodes with my parents.
One of my all time favorite shows , got my kids hooked on it on dvd . This was soooo interesting to see where they filmed the opening of the show . Love to know who got the sign from out front. They probably threw it all up in one day , shot it and took it back down . It makes you wanna believe that it was there and still is after all these years . Thanks
I watched sanford and son as a child. I still watch it today.
The location of the business was a big surprise to me. I always figured it was on a back lot, not an actual building in town.
*Arkansas* *Man*
Same.
My grandmother used to take me and my brother by the real location in the late 70s early 80s on Central. Good work dawg, you bring back memories.
You had to do alot of research to find these cool facts. I saw the resemblance of the surrounding buildings trees etc. This really made it even more fun to watch the opening/closing credits. I wonder how long it took to set up the shot for the credits. I imagine it was done in one day. Really love these videos. It really helps me appreciate what it takes to bring a show together. There are so many aspects to consider. Thanks for revealing some of them. I love that timeless classic show ..

I used to watch Sanford & Son during the 70's and reruns during the 80's, I miss that show.
Google maps shows the Power Plumbing building at 10659 W Magnolia Blvd, North Hollywood, CA and someone has tagged it as Sanford and Son.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Loved watching Sanford and Son growing up in the 70s
Very Interesting Rick. I loved Sanford & Son....Never knew the little bldg was the Junk Shop Rick!!! Your great at checking all these thing's out. I love the old show's Sand Ford and son is one of them!!!
Man me and my Pops saw every episode of Sanford and Son. My favorite Tv shows back in the 70s
Loved that show as a kid. The actual building where Fred sat for the opening credits. That was my favorite to see. shame it looks little like it did for the show.
I grew up on 104th and Central in the 60's and 70's. Went swimming many summers at "Will Rogers Park", and attended a many Watts festivals in the 60's. It really was a great time growing up in South Central LA. My brother lived almost next door to that address. We would laugh many times when we drove down Central. I'd ask my dad, "Hey pops, is that where they filmed Sanford and Son..??" He'd lol and say, I don't know boy, ask Redd..LoL. There were a couple of great mom and Pop rib joints in that area just south of the "Weezie ana" fried chicken place..lol.., Thanks for posting..
Ikr. Fun times
I love Redd Foxx he was hilarious. He and Demond Wilson worked wonderful together. I remember when Lamont brings home 2 coffins. 😂
Very cool that the actual building from the opening is still there.
Esther: I’ll have you know that in my neighborhood sex is a misdemeanor.
Fred: Yeah, the more you miss it, da meaner you get!
Loved this! I enjoyed the N. Hollywood location that pointed out the driveway where Lamont drove in during the opening scene. Best show ever!
The only safe way to go to South Central is in Google Street View.
🤣🤣🤣
Really Not True Nowadays🤔 Is Anywhere Really Safe....Which People Are Finding Out More And More That It's Not Okay Have Blessed Day
@savage 069 Really? Jeez
You got that rite lol
Please, the way they shooting and robbing people in Hollywood and thats where all the homeless WHITE drug addicts are at. 😂
Very cool. One of the best shows ever. I remember watching it during its original run back in the 70s. Probably the only show my dad watched on a regular basis.
I can still remember sitting with my father as a kid watching that show and both of us laughing till our sides split. Especially when he'd lock horns with Ant Ester, his one liners to her were like an acid dipped sword, just brutal, he hated that chick.
you really laughed that hard??
If I had the money, I would convert it as exact as I could, back to its original glory.
Fact: The Burbank Studios now, was formerly NBC Studios.
I eat lunch at the weinershntzle across the street from time to time, they serve beer at that location . Hot dog & a beer👌
Well, this was a fun memory! Although I never thought about the "establishing shots" for Sanford and Son, I was a Page at NBC back when it was being filmed at NBC Burbank Studios. I would posit that it was always set up and filmed on one stage, not two, but cannot remember. It's possible. I DO remember taking people on a "tour" of NBC every day. Actually, several times a day. They had to re-create the Sandford and Son set (along with all the others) every WEEK, because it was very fluid. Many shows were taped on a mere 4 stages every week. Each had to be set up, broken down, then re-set every week. The "sets" were stored in what looked like a large rent-some-storage area. The various sets were separated by chain link fence. The Sanford and Son set was by FAR the most difficult. The "set" had to look the same from week to week. This meant numbering each and every piece of "junk" outside the Sanford abode. NOT the overall picture that was used as the opening credits. The actual "set", which showed the "front yard" of the house that was presumably behind the "store". It had stuff ALL over the place in front of the little house where Fred lived. If you have read this long - thank you. IN ANY CASE - think about what it would be to re-create the front of the house EVERY week! Each piece of "junk" was numbered. There were hundreds, if not thousands - of pieces of "junk" that were carefully numbered and had to be set back in place EVERY WEEK in their exact locations. When you looked at all the stuff sitting in the storage cage, it was piled willy-nilly and seemed chaotic. In fact, the set guys would come in EVERY week and set them up EXACTLY on the sound stage for each taping. It was quite amazing. People on tours would look at it and say WHAT? But every week, those pieces of junk would be set up to look the same for every episode.
Fascinating! Thank you for the recollection & the historical information. Wonder what happened to all those pieces of junk & all the props that were used on the entire set of the show. Wonder if any of those items are still in existence? They sure would make great collectible items for us diehard S & S fans! Personally would prize, the most, the stick that Fred carried during the closing credits! Thank you for sharing your experience at the studio!
Hi Rick, this was my dad's favorite show. I liked seeing the opening credits location. Hope you are well.
Was my dad's too!
Love when used play poker with friends at fred house
This was a good information about Sanford and Son. Because I grew up and was raised in these areas all my life, it's good to see someone take interest and black American television. Good work
It is such an enjoyable show and Im glad you enjoyed me covering it for you, Marcellus!
Awesome! My twin daughters were in a movie when they were little and filmed at the Disney Golden Oak Ranch in Newhall
I lived right over the hill off Sierra Highway in Friendly Valley. Late 1980's. Me and a friend tried to sneak down there but security politely chased us away. Beautiful area. I worked at Magic Mountain for a season.
I give this video Five Across the Lips✊🏾
So the building next door is supposed to be where Julio lived.
I thought that was down by the schoolyard.
Very interesting info about Sanford n Son locations, etc. Kudos to you. Looking forward to your next video.
Ya big dummy! Man I love that show, Redd Foxx was so funny. EDITED to add the correct spelling of the late great man's name
That's Redd Foxx.

@@Mikej1592 Hahahaha, you're welcome friend. I liked how Ethel was always trying to wack him with her purse.
Sanford and Son reminds me of my Dad and me. Used to watch the show with my father and grandfather. We had an old Ford truck too.
When you said “50 years” I thought OMG 😳 time is flying by!
50 years ago, oh my, that means ... I'm OLD now.
Actually 48
I moved to a city named Lemont some time back (lived there a half dozen years). I had fun with that for a while! I'd ask my friends and coworkers where I moved to, they'd invariably answer 'where?' and (wait for it...) I'd reply "LEMONT....YA' BIG DUMMY!" I grew up watching that show (in syndication/reruns on a local station) and loved it!
The location of the actual building used in the opening title screen of the show was of the most interest to me. I enjoy when actual buildings are located on your channel. Even though I don't usually like long videos, it would be helpful if you left the screen shot comparisons up a little longer. I find myself having to pause and go back a lot or run the video at slower speeds to catch all of the visual detail. Thanks.
Hans Oak respectfully, Agreed!
It's also helpful to use Photoshop's "skew/crop' feature to scale and stretch a still shot onto Google Street View, for easier then-and-now comparisons.
@@VideoNOLA That is a very good suggestion.
I think all of you are eliminated from winning the DVD now. I will win.
@@davidjames666 I sincerely hope you do, my friend! Good luck.
One of my 2 favorite tv show!! Good Times was my #1 favorite tv show growing up! This is good to know thanks for sharing
Also in the programme: Emergency! in the 70s with Kevin Tigh and Randolph Mantooth one of the responses had the corner of the old building in it.
I thought that looked like something straight out of Emergency! not gonna lie, I have binge watched entirely too much Emergency
I would love to see the Emergency station location.
John Challeen, The station is #127 Robert A. Cinader Memorial Fire Station in the City of Carson in Los Angeles County California. A real working station.
I grew up with Sanford and son. . I loved it . Real TV.
