ABOUT SANFORD AND SON:
The highest-rated half-hour series in NBC history at the time, Sanford and Son stars Redd Foxx as the cantankerous sexagenarian Fred Sanford and Demond Wilson as his son Lamont, also his business partner in the family junk-dealing business. To prevent his son from leaving home, and bent on having things his own way in general, Fred often calls upon such ruses as fake heart attacks or phony back ailments. Lamont usually sees through these subterfuges, but because he loves his father, he lets him think he's getting his way.

Everytime Esther enters a scene you know it's about to go down😂😂🤣
4Real
Yep
😂😂😂
LLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RRRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLE!
GOO GOO GAH GAH@@tinastanley4444
The insults between Esther and Fred were just beyond priceless. 😂😂
Reminds me of Martin and Pam
@@jamesclarke279I’m sure they were inspired by them lol
@@CamTheCat888 They definitely were
Redd went to bat for LeWanda. He told the network, “You don’t hire her and I walk.” That’s a true friend.
A good friend, but he was also smart, because she was without question one of the highlights of the show.
I heard that to
When keeping it real goes right!
The on-screen chemistry between Foxx and Page was plain to see in this series.
Redd & Lawanda went to school together when they were kids. The both of them were very close friends.
How many of us grew up sitting in a living room with dad in tears watching this ? Feel like shows like this bring us all back to simpler times
My best memories of my Dad were of watching this show with him with tears rolling down both our cheeks from uncontrollable laughter.😂😂😂😂
TRUTH INDEED, ITsure did bring families together ❤️
Good days for sure!
Back in the day we only had 7 channels. Mod Squad, wild wild west, Bonanza, riffle man, Big Valley, Streets of San Francisco, All in the Family, Star Trek and so much more. 7 channels was a blessing compared to the crap we have now and it was free. Can I go back to the 70's? life was so much better.
Exactly.
"Sanford and Son" -- What a testament to good writing -- timeless; good writing never goes out of style/fashion; skilled performers in a true ensemble who brought magic to the screen, good directing keeping everything in check and, God bless 'em, the LIVE audience*, elements that combined together did bring people to joyful tears A HALF CENTURY AGO.
It still plays well for those 'who were there' in the joyful era of the three-network universe, those 'of a certain generation' AND legions of younger, new viewers who thank their lucky stars for cable, CZcams, DVD boxed sets, etc. showing "Sanford and Son."
*no laugh track necessary
The Fred VS Aunt Esther dynamic was always funny, but I especially loved how Lamont loved his aunt and always respected and tried to help her.
That is Lamont
Truth
In life, they actually both loved one another dearly. I'll never forget seeing LaWanda Page entering the funeral home when Redd Foxx passed, she was inconsolable, and people were literally dragging her into the building as she sobbed uncontrollably.
She always said that if it weren't for Redd Foxx, she would've never been in show business, and she felt extreme gratitude for him opening doors for her. May both of their souls R.I.P. for an eternity...🙏🏼...
Yeah...I don't remember which one, but there was a time when they were actually thinking about either writing the Aunt Esther character out altogether, or replacing Lawanda with someone else for the part, and Redd Foxx threatened to quit if they did it, so yeah they were close. I think I heard Lawanda say before that they went to school together.
@@jamesorsby7553 Yeah, I remember hearing that story about potentially replacing her as well, for what reason(s), God only knows. They met as preteens as I remember, in St. Louis, Missouri...
He was like a brother to her
@@ShawnC.T. I can't even begin to imagine Sanford and Son without Lawanda Page aka Aunt Esther. Had the powers that be stupidly did what they wanted to do, the show would have ended prematurely. Maybe that's what they wanted...idk.
@@jamesorsby7553 We should all be thankful that it never happened, it would've been one of the biggest travesties in the history of television, had it been allowed to happen...
Love the way aunt Esther calls Fred a "heathen" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oh yes!
She loved all those BlBLE references!
Watch it sucka!
😂😂❤a "Fish-eyed heathen. 🤣💜
One of my best friends' grandpa called all of us heathens. 😂
The look on Fred's face when Esther walks into the room. PRICELESS
Some old lady walked in with a something and now we wanna now her age and birthday 💋
@@Latriece-gj4wj What???
This show made me laugh when I was a kid and it still makes me laugh today 45 years later.
Me too.
Same here!
Amen my friend.
Same here 👍👍
Me too
Esther: "My Body Was Blessed By Mother Nature"
Fred: "And As You Got Older Your Face Was Cursed By Father Time"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the best!
I'm dead🤣🤣🤣🤣. He was the greatest
But I’m still dead at the line
“Body was blessed by Mother Nature “....hahaha
But when i was in high school and this girl said u know u jealous u just mad cuz I’m fine as a Georgia pine, and my boy said You mean u as big as a Georgia pig.....hahaha
I'M COMIN ELIZABETH!!!!!!
Esther: That did it! Come on, Woodrow, let's go!
Ester - “Woodrow & I are gonna have a baby”
Fred- “Well somebody better call the zoo” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg when Fred said Esther looked like Bambis father, I fell off my bed laughing. 😆🤣😂 I loved this show. It never gets old.
Hello
You said it hunni
I wasn't even in my teens and just didn't get it.
Yes, Deer.
It Bambi father
You can tell they're adlibbing and roasting each other on the spot. That's real comedy
Facts
We all knew when Aunt Esther came through that door, it was on!!!
😀😀😀😀
Is prince ok
Damn right
I grew up watching this this show. Today I'm 63 yrs old and still watch it today. Thank God for youtube
I'm also 63, & I've been enjoying the videos!
I'm 38 started watching with my pops since I was 5. 10 years ago found the complete series dvd boxset. Best $60 I ever spent.
Redd Foxx and LaWanda page attended elementary school together in St. Louis. Foxx had her back when the producers of Sanford and Son didn't have confidence in her while she also lacked confidence in herself initially. That's a good look on his part. RIP to both...❤
qqq8à
I'm literally crying at this...so doggone funny...they don't make'em like Fred and Esther.
They tried with Martin and pam
Me too Mr. Allen.
@@kevinlucas7383 Martin and Pam wasn't funny like Fred & Aunt Esther bickering.
You got that right ✅️ Not Anymore
Let’s all keep Sanford & Son alive. One of the best shows ever. Demond Wilson (Lamont) should have won awards for not laughing at his TV father. Just absolutely brilliant acting.👍Aunt Esther is great as well.
You could tell he was holdng it together to keep from laughing. Redd was so funny and these Esther exchanges were the best!
Fred and Esther are those two you could watch every day nonstop, so hilarious and awesome. They both influenced George Jefferson & Florence, Al Bundy & Marcy Darcy, and also yours truly, Martin & Pam
Greatest show of all time!
Archie Bunker and Maude: Are we a joke to you?
@@tomdalfonzo9959 Never heard of them or watch their show before. I'll have to check them out when I get a chance
The wince on his face before he said, "somebody better call the zoo". He really tried to say something nice but it was too strong for him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. One of the greatest shows of my childhood
Hello how are you doing?
@@honestmark6681 you trying to pick up through YT comments? cringe
The older I get the better this show gets. It's forever timeless.
For certain
Facts
no cap
Amen to that. It's my favorite of all time. I have all the episodes on DVD.
I agree
i cannot count the numerous times we were gathered around the tv to watch Sanford and Son, and it never disappointed. i have never heard my father laugh so hard until then. great times and great memories growing up in the 70s. RIP to all those that have passed on and a special thanks to all of you for the joy and laughter you brought to the world.
Oh Yes
@ocean88eagle9

Sounds like the social security office and the bank who is the lady and why does her birthday and age count every time 💋

The fact that Redd and LaWanda were great friends in real life made Fred and Esther even funnier.
Weren't they married at one time in real life?
@@ronniecopley3847 NO.
She led quite a life, a life of contrasts including a vulgar standup comedy act, then turning to religion later in life. She and Redd were apparently childhood friends, he turned to her because he believed she could make "Aunt Esther" come to life.
He was right.
I loved hearing that - she was perfect in the show.

I loved this show. One of my all time favorites. Rest In Peace Red Fox
Many of them passed away..
.
@@annaritaranalli1791 wrd
The chemistry between Redd and LeWanda was unmatched. This show wouldn’t have been as hilarious without them two firing off at each other.
LOVE THIS SHOW 😀
Truth Indeed
Lawanda and Redd spent many years in show business working together and being apart. They has a long history together and Redd helped out his old friend by bringing her on the show. I can't imagine anyone else playing the part of Aunt Esther.
This this old show
La
Fred and Esther constantly fighting is what made the show. Both were brilliant actors.
And both were lifelong friends
And stand up comedians (except, that I had to listen to the 8-Tracks when the adults were not around).
Don't forget Grady and Bubba
I agree. The funniest episodes of this show was when Aunt Ester was in it. I just loved when she shouts "oh glory!"
You fish eyed fool . Rip Aunt esther
My late father and I would bond watching Sanford & Son. RIP Red Foxx and the rest of the departed cast members. Trivia; LaWanda Page (who played Aunt Esther) and Redd Foxx were very good friends in real life and worked together doing standup comedy. Redd Foxx got her the recurring role on Sanford & Son.
She was a professional strong and resilient actress to realize so many jabs at her character's looks and role...however she STILL played her part well......without insult but pride which I think made her extremely beautiful than most.
This made her more beautiful to me .
I don't care how the year's passes by Fred Sanford is still a funny show to watch even in 2021 when you down and out you can always watch Fred Sanford for good laughter ♥️ still love it today
Facts 💯💯
Yes I agree
And Hammond LaWanda Page just gelled they just they made it I don't know what would have been in without her in there that would have been that chemistry she was just sensational
Truth
Lcoo
Every time Esther enters a scene , you know it’s going to be good.
Yes that was hilarious 🤣
Aunt Esther said "what you say n#@$%r?! Still hilarious after all this time ⏲️🤣😂 😜!
Hbbbb
Ko
Yes indeed!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
13 seconds in and I couldn't hold it. 😂😂🤣🤣
"Hello Woody...... Goodbye Woody"
Abbott and Costello, Batman and Robin, Sophia Petrillo and Dorothy Zbornak, Aunt Esther and Fred Sanford. Some of the best dynamic duos of all time.
You forgot those 2 from Cheers
@@VeganVive
Sam & Diane
@@Dee_Nice89 Frazer & Lillith...?
These interactions were classics! It was so good to see them in screen together. I still love the show to this day!
Absolutely I am 42 years old and I watch Sanford and son every single day on my lunch break at work. One of my most favorite episodes is when Esther was at the house and Fred walked through the front door and he was drunk and Esther said and I quote, look at you pants all baggy you just a messy fool, and Fred replied oh yeah well you just a sessy pool first time I saw that I laughed so hard I farted twice and I peed a little bit.. you just a sessy pool. Lmmfao
@@timothystogsdill2608 I watch it almost everyday as well. And that was hilarious
Esther had the best punchlines 😂😂😂😂
This is one of my favorite shows of all time.
Good times
Lawanda Page, Aunt Esther. She gave this sit com a bright light. Without her, this show would've been different. She absolutely spiced up this show. It is a delight to her in this acting adventure that will entertain America's families for generation to come.
Truth Indeed
Blessed by Mother Nature but Cursed by Father's Times😂😂❤❤
😂😂😂
Funniest duo ever, Fred and Aunt Ester. In real life they were best of friends. Best show about my people ever!!! Love all both of them and thanks for all the laughs!!!!
They were childhood friends also.😄
Honestly don't understand how they never bust out laughing during these tapings. I suppose this was before "gag reels" were invented.
Did you know they tried to hire someone else for the role of ester but Red refused and even threatened to quit if she wasn’t hired
I’ll never forget the gorilla cookies line😂
@@64yanks he'd get in trouble using that reference today if U know what I mean. 😆 🤣 😂
Woodrow was the BEST drunk EVER in TV history!!!😂😂😂😂
He moved to Chicago as Ned the wino from Good Times
You ain't lyin..........my man was everywhere...LOL
Facts even on Good Times
Lol, yeah thats right, I forgot about that
Woodrow would drink to an ingrown toenail.
Omg ikr
Like everyone else who very correctly realizes, this show hasn't diminished in relevance or attitude. This is a timeless classic. Lawanda & Redd are long gone, but their contribution to the medium of sitcom TV is firmly cemented. Fred & Aunt Esther will continue to tickle our funny bones for generations to come. That's a helluva legacy.
Still one of the funniest shows EVER!!!!!!
👍🤪🤣
What a lovable interaction of humor. I grew up watching this sit com. It feels like family to me. I wish Fred could come back to make sense of this tumultuous world we live in today .
@James HamaJust getting ready to enjoy the sunshine and tend my garden. How r you?
Bless all of them...thanks!
Arguably the best show to grace the television screen.
yes this is an incredible
I agree!
Right
Can’t agree more !!
Facts
I loved how Fred always had a different saying for the G..😂
Hello how are you doing today???
Best sit-com in television history-- Incredible writing and acting
Ditto
No Honestly, The No.1 sit com goes to Married With Children , then this one is no. 2 ?
No Married is No. 1
@@rickshannon6848 The Beverly Hillbillies is no. 1. I'd give no. 2 to either M*A*S*H or Sanford & Son.
There will never be another Fred and Aunt Esther!
Amen to that!
She’s the best. I wish I had an Aunt Esther.
👍🤣🤣🇺🇸
Me too
🤣😂😂
I love this TV show growing up 🤣
"I've sit here and listen to you insult my wife long enough!! Now, imma be waiting right outside, so I don't have to hear it!!" 🤣🤣🤣
How to properly behave then and now
I miss them all. Grew up with this classic show. Especially loved the repartee between Fred and Aunt Esther. Their timing was genius. Poor LaMont always playing the referee 😄
I still watch Sanford n Son to this day. It's good to be able to laugh your heart out because it gives you some "me time" to relax the mind and kno that you can enjoy the moments spent watching his show. It's the funniest show on TV because laughing is good for the soul. Thank you, Red Fox. May you rest in Peace.
Their chemistry was fantastic.
Quarter on a roof could put a wall on the pant and a thin my hand
Redd Foxx and LeWanda’s feud will always be iconic ❤
They were the best of friends offstage.
For a godly woman, Aunt Esther sure could give the evil eye 😄
She had a mouth on her in real life. I heard some of her stand up.
@One Two Can confirm....my grandmother (RIP) gave me cousin that stink eye in church one time...and she was trying to tell my cousin beside me to quit talkin! ☠🥶
@@frankp2476 Yes, her stand-up performances were raunchy 😆
Did she used to do fucking church's chicken 🐔 commercials back in the early 90's
Hairy eye, Stank eye, Cut them eyes. LOL! I'm Dyin!!!
This is definitely therapy, always got me laughing since the 70s to now
Sanford and son and Barney Miller was always my favorite back then. Fat Albert on Saturdays
YES!!! Beyond Compare Sanford and Son show is laughter therapy for real!!!! love this show forever!!!
You must be really old
Lol,,,these two are priceless! The shows like this are sorely missed.
😂😂😂Fred told Lamont to go in the the kitchen and fix your aunt Esther a fish head sandwich I'm crying laughing lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta love Fred and Ester. Some of the funniest dialogue I've ever heard.
La Wanda Paige and Redd Foxx were best friends in real life and she was a great actress her anger expressions were flawless for that old heathen.
Fred and Esther are gold. Thank God for both of them. But I have to say a word about Lamont, one of the great comedic "straight men" of the 20th century. He had a sincerity and was always grounded. Always the voice of reason. Fred was funny because of what a great team they made. Aunt Esther is the perfect foil for Fred too, and she made it three geniuses in the room. Those of us who get to revisit this are born lucky.
Grew up watching this show. Never got old!!
Probably never did it on his knees hoping a house appear for a dumb bum
Fred: "Goodbye dear"
Esther: "Oh you called me dear"
*Fred: "Why shouldn't I call you dear you look like Bambi's father"*
🤣🤣🤣
That was a funny one
Esther: You old weasel-eyed heathen!
She laughed 😆
@@brittanybrown484 we have a home and a business and no one to give it to. When we pass on Fred well give it to me and pass on 🤣😂🤣
Even woody wanted to laugh at that father time joke
How ester not bust out laughing I'll never know.
Hello how are you doing today?
You can give actors lines , but that chemistry is there or it isn't. Those two had some of the best all time in history
Thanks for this. I used to sit with my grandfather watching this show many a night and this brings back warm memories of him.
Lawanda Page is great. Her role is the perfect nemesis to Fred.
Page*
I agree
agree
Before Martin& pam there was fred& esther.
Believe it or not, the network didn’t want her, but Redd Fox forced the issue.
This is pure gold and fantastic entertainment. No one was easily offended and people cared about one thing…laughing.
Amazing LaWanda and Redd. What an incredible dynamic and exciting duo. Their improv is topnotch
Those two were hilarious. They always kept my family laughing.
They grew up together . They weren't gonna cast Lawanda page and Redd said he would walk.if she wasn't on the show
"Make Gorilla Cookies" is probably the funniest thing I ever heard on TV
With her face.
Woody wanted to laugh so bad after the Father Time joke 🤣
Hello how are you doing today??
"You gonna have this baby on purpose?"
Emotional damage!
They threw some of the greatest insults at each other in one episode Fred told Esther I could stick your face in some dough and make Gorilla cookies 😂😂😂
That is the funniest thing I've ever heard definitely my favorite scene in TV history
Or put her face in the freezer and make gorilla-sicles.
That was the episode where Fred was sick in bed after eating some 8-day-old collard greens! Fred exaggerated his illness, thinking he was on his deathbed.
Aunt Esther showed up to see Fred.
Lamont: 'Hey Pop! Guess what?'
Fred: 'The buzzards are circling over the house?'
Lamont: 'Nope, you've got company.'
In walks Esther and....
Fred: 'OH no! The head buzzard is IN the HOUSE!'.
IF only we still had brilliant comedies like this still on television! I loved the episode when she gave Fred a concussion with her steel plated Bible 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Truth Indeed, But they don't. It's terrible now. Ugh
Gotta love discipline lol
She him with a purse one time
I have always loved this show it is a masterpiece👍♥️👍👍♥️
One of the greatest Shows ever. If we had more shows like this today, the world would be a better place.
When Fred at the end of that one segment mocked Esther by saying ha glory, had me in stitches. HAHAHA
One hilarious show!
Personal favorite:
Esther: " Well, we've got inner beauty'
Fred " You got what?"
Esther " We got inner beauty.'
Fred " Well you better put your liver where your face is!"
Tv
🤣
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BURN
Love it
They're comedy gold together! The unstoppable force versus the immovable object! Genius casting!
Those two are the greatest. Absolutely incredible. How they played of each other.
Hello Pat Mischel. How are you doing?
Man they bring back so many great memories of my childhood and growing up. Television 📺 was pretty special back then. This show entertained me for years .. I love ❤ this show
Truth Indeed
LaWanda Page was an incredible talent and quite the master of comedic timing. A damn fine actress, too.🇨🇦
With Esther and Fred in the same room with one another, you know it's gonna be a verbal warfare taken place. Poor Esther would literally walk in to Fred's insults Lol!!!!! Gotta love em,,,,,,,, R.I.P. to them both 🕊🙏🏽❤
Fred once said, “When Esther was a little girl, a man drove up beside her, and offered her some suckers to get UNDER his car.” I’m done every time I hear that! RIP to Lawanda Page and Redd Foxx.
Hello Carol Harris. How are you doing?
🤣🤣🤣
By far my favourite line!!!! :') :')
There were some brutal ones. Like the one he said you could use her face as a mold to make gorilla cookies.
LOL
Aunt Esther was a great woman in life!
This show was hilarious and a all time classic , Fred and Esther are one of the best comedy teams of all time !
Red Foxx. And. La. Wanda. Page. Were. The. Hit. Of. The. Show I love. The. Way. They. Go. After. Each. Other. God. Bless Them. Both. ❤️
“I know he’ll like you Esther.”
“Why, thank you Fred.”
“Children will always love animals.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sanford and son is so funny I can't stop laughing.
I believe you right
Quarter on a roof could put a tv in my hands and on the pant of the wall
I always loved Aunt Esther.
She made me laugh.
"Watch what you do, you old fish-eyed fool! "
This show never gets old

For some reason, Aunt Esther is funnier now than the original airing date! She is Hilarious!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this with my dad. He loved it when these got into it. One episode was so funny we both laughed so hard. It was when Fred was trying to help Esther win a beauty competition
I Love Aunt Esther's character role in these episodes 🥰💖

Best comedy show in the 1970's. By far!
