Fred Sanford: Yeah, white.
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits of the episode "The Headache" (4.21), Fred and Lamont's voices can be heard. They're doing a soap opera cliffhanger parody. (Eg. Fred: "Will Lamont leave home?" Lamont: "Will you be quiet?")
- Alternate versionsDuring the show's network run, a few episodes contained the "N-word". However, when the show began to appear on the TV Land cable network, the word was edited out.

Featured review
One of the best sitcoms I've ever seen
"Sanford and son" is a sitcom in which a junk dealer, and his son. Try to live together and run their business, but the father is always coming up with some carzy ideas, and getting them into some funny mischef. One of the best sitcoms I've ever seen, Redd Foxx truly shines as a old junk dealer. I think that if you put this show back on the networks aganst the todays shows. "Sanford and Son" would reign as king.
