Vintage Television: Fred Sanford Visits a Mexican Restaurant

It occurred to me that some of you- young whipper snappers might not know who the Fred Sanford is that I am referencing at the top of my web site. Fred Sanford was the main character in the 1970’s television show Sanford and Son.  Fred Sanford  was an old, junk dealer who lived with his son and was played by Redd Foxx,  while his son Lamont was played by Demond Wilson. The show ran from 1972 to 1977 and was critically acclaimed. I feel it’s better to show a snippet of the show, then to try to go into great detail to explain the vintage coolness of Fred Sanford…  here’s a little bit from the show in which Fred visits a Mexican restaurant.
