Description
These are the main characters from the hit American sitcom, Sanford and Son. It was based on a BBC show called Steptoe and Son.
Known for its edgy racial humor, running gags and catch phrases, the series was adapted by Norman Lear and considered NBC's answer to Archie Bunker. Sanford and Son has long been hailed as the precursor to many other African American sitcoms. It was a ratings hit throughout its six season run.
While the role of Fred G. Sanford was known for his bigotry and being cantankerous, the role of Lamont Sanford was usually a peacemaker and more conscientious. At times, both would involve themselves in schemes. Other colorful/unconventional characters were Aunt Esther, Grady Wilson, Bubba Bexley and Rollo Lawson. Quincy Jones did the music theme.
In 2007, Time magazine included the show on their list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time"
