From a time when we could laugh at each other with a friendly smile and people didn't get offended. He was able to make light of any situation and bring people together. His bigoted character was what made him so funny on the show. Interesting notes: Redd Foxx was born John Sanford and his father's name: Fred Sanford. Demond Wilson, who played son Lamont, eventually became an ordained minister.

[@MsKK909]

I was on a flight once with Wilson.... he was a total asshole! The way he treated staff and fellow passengers was despicable... truly outrageous and completely unnecessary. To me, how one treats others is the true measure of his character.

I liked the actual building where the opening scene showed Lamont pulling into the yard. I am glad to see the building is still standing. Sanford and son was at the top of the list of my favorite shows back in the day. It’s too bad they didn’t get to film more seasons of the show, because their was a lot of great talent on that stage and their was never a dull moment.

My late Dad always liked Sanford and Son. He owned a small business, and told me that they had a new Ford pickup truck that was the same model and color as Fred's truck. 😎

[@levydooalan1939]

I watched Sanford and Son when I was a kid back in the 70s. Have great memories of that show and other shows of the day I watched too much TV as a kid. Unfortunately. But hey I'm here. Amazing but true. LOL

[@levydooalan1939]

I forgot to leave a comment about the location. The location I found the most fascinating was the location where it was filmed. They had a nostalgic sense. In a way it was disappointing to see that it had changed. Because in my imagination I still have the way it looked when they were actually in the house in filming. I always like to think that those locations are preserved for posterity what is posterity . LOL. These shows gave us comfort as children and so it's kind of shocking to see that they're not maintained as Museum pieces. Kind of the way that Dave Letterman show was dismantled and everything thrown away and disposed of is what I heard. And as a child it seemed more real to me. Anyhow, I like to think that somehow and someway these locations are preserved, somewhere in the Twilight Zone.

[@tina7669]

I think seeing the site where Lamont drove into and Fred sat reading the paper was very cool to see. It might not look the same but it nice to see. And it’s nice to see the improvements done over the decades. Sanford and Son has stood the test of time and is still very funny and entertaining.

[@skn9895]

"Sanford" and "All in the Family" were my grandfather's favorite shows. Weren't they both on Saturday night for a while? Anyway, our tradition was to make raspberry milkshakes and watch together. He was also a fan of wrestling which came on really late Saturday night. Fun times. I'm patiently waiting for grandchildren of my own to do fun things with...

I remember seeing them film the opening scene at this location on Magnolia and Cartwright in North Hollywood. I lived on the next street over which is Willowcrest Ave. Also, back in the late 1960's to some time in the 1970's, that location was an actual second-hand store called "Joe's Salvage and Junk Shop" that was owned by Joe Lawler (he looked like Jack Albertson's character " the man" in Chico and the Man). He later added a "theater" in the back of the building for stage plays. Me and some of my buddies from around the neighborhood used to go there and check out the merchandise. There was a very large yard in the back of the building that had lots of "stuff" for sale. You name it, they had it... the good old days! The original building that was seen in the show was razed in 1989 and the existing new structure was built.

Wow… Very informative. Thank you so much my brother.

Great research as always, Rick. Thanks. Amazing to see that most of these locations still exist, albeit re-branded to different uses.

@@TVJAB That's just an illusion because the camera angle of the old film and the new photo are different. You can tell by looking at the new photo and the size of the driveway outlined in the concrete. That's still only one vehicle's width for the most part. So it's the same size, and like he said, that street sign pole and oddly shaped building in the background are dead giveaways. Old film has a way of squishing things to make them appear smaller. I've done this kind of stuff with old movie scenes paused and comparing the location in Google Maps, and it always looks much smaller in the old movie.

I grew up on 91st and Central during the filming of Sanford And Son, the house I lived in could be seen on Google maps. At that time 9114 Central Ave was a parole/probation office, where I learned to play basketball, shoot pool, play ping pong as well as race cars on a track. The granite place was a gas station, the fast food place was one of the original Fat Burgers where they had the best chili fritos. A small church was across the street. Even though I have gone on to bigger and better things, my most fondest memories of life are on that corner.

I grew up with Sanford and son. . I loved it . Real TV.

[@hansoak3664]

The location of the actual building used in the opening title screen of the show was of the most interest to me. I enjoy when actual buildings are located on your channel. Even though I don't usually like long videos, it would be helpful if you left the screen shot comparisons up a little longer. I find myself having to pause and go back a lot or run the video at slower speeds to catch all of the visual detail. Thanks.

[@yvonnelives]

Hans Oak respectfully, Agreed!

[@VideoNOLA]

It's also helpful to use Photoshop's "skew/crop' feature to scale and stretch a still shot onto Google Street View, for easier then-and-now comparisons.

[@hansoak3664]

@@VideoNOLA That is a very good suggestion.

The street where Lamont is turning in,Was very interesting. Alaways wonder if it was actually a real street or stage studio.

[@HighSierraBob]

The street that Lamont is driving on is Magnolia Ave. in North Hollywood, CA. The street the store front is located on.

As a kid in the 80s, at granny's house, if u got in trouble you had to sit with grandpa in the den...he'd be in there smoking a cigar & watching Sanford n son!!! I used to get in trouble on purpose jus to sit with grandpa and get my roasts for the playground later on 🤣🤣

I lived right over the hill off Sierra Highway in Friendly Valley. Late 1980's. Me and a friend tried to sneak down there but security politely chased us away. Beautiful area. I worked at Magic Mountain for a season.

It is such an enjoyable show and Im glad you enjoyed me covering it for you, Marcellus!

I can still remember sitting with my father as a kid watching that show and both of us laughing till our sides split. Especially when he'd lock horns with Ant Ester, his one liners to her were like an acid dipped sword, just brutal, he hated that chick.

I really enjoy your channel because all the shows you cover are ones everyone watched back in the day. When my mom was alive we had a caregiver Sheila; she was born in Kenya. Every day when I arrived home from work she would have Sanford and Son on the TV. I would play a game with her, saying I could recognize the episode within the first few seconds. We laughed and laughed every day. I even went online and found a Sanford and Son t-shirt, with the famed truck. Keep up the good work.

Is "fictitional" even a word? Otherwise, thanks for the memories.
