Sanford and Son | Lamont Doesn't Like Donna | Classic TV Rewind

[@chrisballard5743]

I always liked this version of Lamont better. His constant sarcasm,and back in forth with Fred was always hilarious to me. I heard a rumor they softened his character up in the later years, because some of the fans of the show were complaining his character was too disrespectful to his father on the show,and they thought it was a bad portrayal of a father son relationship.

[@rickyv7757]

Well, the show became boring after his character became nicer. The essence of the show was the conflict between the two of them but the both of them still needing each other.

[@Helmuesi911]

@@rickyv7757 Super boring.. once Lamont trimmed down his afro and mustache the show became very generic.

[@billking1751]

Same here. It was a much better show. They soften Lamont and harden Fred, just wasn't the same show.

[@williamphillips6049]

Never thought of it. The arguments were a lot funner.

[@midnytevega2777]

For those calling Lamont a player hater..he didn't hate Donna thinking she'd take his mother's place and all that...she kicked him out of the apartment he was renting from her after he had brought a woman to the apartment,breaking her "no visitors after 11pm" rule

[@detmstr341]

Lamont needs to let his mother go. SO, he could move on, and she'll be a peace.

Donna was such an elegant and delightful lady, Every one would love her.

[@jeffreyj3906]

Do you any of you realize that Esther and Donna were real life Sisters? ! Amazing but true

[@carriemtsh9648]

Jeffrey j no they were not, Lawanda ( aunt Esther) had a younger sister called Lynn Hamilton which is the same name as Donna, so people often confused Donna who’s real name is also Lynn Hamilton as Lawanda’s sister.

Indeed she was , she still look beautiful in her 80’s God bless her 🙏🏿

Yep Sony's greed

[@Da_SRB_Detroit]

+Larry Norman Man, why is it that you don't already have at LEAST 1.9k 'likes'(👍's)? I TOTALLY agree with you. That's key... KZbin GREED. KZbin used to be much more fun to watch when you could watch full episodes of sitcoms, and even full movies (all for free). It would be nice for things to IMPROVE and change for the better, instead of (in this case) the WORSE...

What a great episode. It's well put together.

[@Juliaflo]

@@autocrow Ron Glass was in that episode as well.

[@autocrow]

@@Juliaflo Yes! They always had excellent guest appearances on the show. The AITF episode "The Swingers" had the gal from Golden Girls. Makes sense I guess because the character "Maude" was on GG too.

[@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961]

Lamont Sanford and Sgt Carter are the two best supporting characters ever IMO. Both were chosen by producer Aaron Ruben.

[@lindaeasley4336]

This was something I never understood .Lamont was so mean to Donna and she was a nice lady .I could understand if she treated Fred like garbage but there was no excuse .He cost his dad some happiness .He was suppose to be mature enough to handle a parent getting involved with someone else

[@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961]

What? It's a comedy series. It's supposed to have antagonism at times.

[@peterbassey9668]

Lamont knew Donna was playing Fred but Fred wouldn’t take it. For instance, once she brought a younger man to dinner at Fred’s place and a jealous fight erupted between the two men. Now, what woman would do that if she was clean breasted about things?!?

[@billking1751]

He was still sore about her kicking him out of the room he rented from her.

[@leon-gh4me]

These guys were good actors

[@ghanasoul]

I didn’t particularly care for Lamont in the earlier shows. Back in the day, fans wrote in and complained about the way Lamont treated Fred. He would call him names, push him, yell at him, he was greedy, selfish etc. As years went on, they softened Lamont’s character. Which made the father/son relationship more believable. He wasn’t very likable in the earlier episodes.

[@MIKECNW]

I don't see what anyone was up in arms about. Fred was the problem.

[@CJ1hunnid]

@@MIKECNW You're an idiot if you truly believe that.

[@rickyv7757]

That was the original premise of the show was the two of them constantly at odds with each other but the both of them needing each other. The show became dull and boring after they changed his character.

[@ghanasoul]

@@rickyv7757 True, that was the original premise. It was a remake of the British sitcom “Steptoe and Son”. In the earlier shows, they pretty much took the scripts from the original show and put them on “Sanford”. However, it would’ve never sustained with Redd and Demond’s characters bickering for 5 seasons. The characters had to evolve in order for the viewers to continue to want to watch them. It made the characters more vulnerable and believable when they became closer. It made the show universal too.

[@rickyv7757]

@@ghanasoul you do need character progression however the best comedic scenes and episodes are when the two were at odds with each other. The show became dull later on in the final couple of seasons when lamont became mellow and passive. As for Lamont being mean towards fred, that seems like a very one-sided way of looking at things and shows people may just have favored Redd Foxx more. While Lamont was rude and disrespectful, fred degraded lamont and sabatoged him multiple times. But the idea was to highlight their dysfunctional relationship but still show that had a strong loving bond despite it all. So you had to have the bickering and the fighting at some point, although to your point, both characters needed to grow over time.
