"HE AIN'T GOT NO RIPPLE."
That whole bit starting from where Fred asked"Why dont you arrest some White drivers..?"was unscripted..then before he said theTarzan movie line Redd had to wait for both the studio audience and the people on set to quiet down..off camera Demond Wilson and the actor who played the judge almost fell out their chairs laughing after Redd said "Look at all these n----ers in here!"
Rollo's reaction when he smelled it.."GAWD!!!!"

Real question. Is Sanford and Son the funniest show in TV history? I say it is. I watched it when I was a kid and I watch it now and I laugh my ass off just like I did then. It holds up tremendously. I watch other shows from the past and they are not funny cause the humor doesn’t translate to today.
This is actually a very good question you bring up J. I really think it is. This and All In the Family for me are two of the greatest shows in television history. One of my favorite episodes was when Fred called the gameshow host a bigot. SHIT STILL HAS ME IN TEARS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This and Good Times I can watch every episode again and again like it was the first time. Well, Good Times before they killed off James. Wasn't the same without him
if I'm channel surfing, dead stop .....

the seriousness in his face tho .....
Fred to Ester: I'm gone stick your face in some dough... and make me some gorilla cookies!!Still remember the famous quotables...
"Gorilla Cookies"
"A big white Omana Freezer"
and........................."Big Dummy"
ps... glad I downloaded all the seasons before the file sharing sites went down
That insult had me laughing to this day!
That's a tough one. I've watched a lot of TV but I haven't seen everything. I've watched "I Love Lucy," "The Honey Mooners," "I Dream of Jeanie" Bewitched, "Get Smart," "The Bill Cosby Show," "Barney Miller," " All in The Family" "Gilligans Island," "Maude," "Soap," "Good Times," "The Jeffersons" just to name a few from the 50s until the late 70s. I would put the best three seasons (2,3,4) of "Sanford and Son" against the best of any Sitcom of the last 50yrs. It's easily a top 5 from the 70s, IMHO. At one point, Sanford & Son was coming on twice a week, and the rerun was winning its timeslot. It has been said that ABC gave Redd Foxx that huge contract so that they wouldn't have to face him every week.
that nukka told Ester one time " quit following me horse, I ain't got no oats in these bags. " .....
Took the Ole Lady out to eat on our Anniversary on the 14th. Was mad as hell that she didnt bring my ripple in her purse. We could have mixed these together....

The funniest episode ever, was when

said Gorilla Cookies.
It stopped being funny to me because I got banned for six months for making that joke.
Subjective, but I've never laughed that hard for any other TV show. The only ones close to it for me have been Night Court and Married with Children.
Yea it might be the best. Fresh Prince of Bel Air is high up their too.
YOOOOO I never new what that genius of a man had to endure. Them racist ass crackas were running the show and literally hated his success. Every successful black man can relate.
