There was an old situation comedy for the mid 1970's about a father and son who owned a salvage yard that was their home and business. This show was called 'Sanford and Son' that starred Redd Foxx and Desmond Wilson. I remember watching this program when a was a young child and also kind of laughed when Fred would foul up his plans to do something and will have to tell the truth and one of his favorite sayings was "This is the big one I'm coming to see ya Elizabeth!" while clutching his chest like he was having a heart attack. This was also a show that Fred (Foxx) and Lamont (Wilson) will do anything to help each other in many situations from dating at any age to making money. There was always some zany story for a show that was primarily for the Negro/Black community.

The Jeffersons
'We're Moving On Up' is the theme to this next 'All in the Family' spinoff known as 'The Jeffersons' who were the Bunker's neighbors on Houser Street. There was George and Louise and their son Lionel. Lionel was kind of a good favorite person for Archie liked him as much as he did not quite like George. Archie and George were too much alike to be really good friends. As the title song said George and Louise moved on up to the upper West Side, I think, or the East Side along with a whole new set of issues and problems like when Lionel and his girlfriend a child of a white man and black women. This was a show that really got into race relations as well as dealing with other social issues of the time like unemployment, inflation, homosexual issues and others. What would George think of society today?

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I do love this show. It's one of my favorites. My brother purchase the entire series on dvd. And I used to watch it together. That collection is prized to me now, as my brother is no longer with us. But his memory lives within television shows like Sanford and Son that we would watch together.
"I'm coming to see you Elizabeth!" Haha! This was such a funny show that I always watched with my Grandmother.
