Thanks to, or in spite of, Al's history tutelage (at the bowling alley), Curtis (Larenz Tate) scores an A on a test, but not without having something up his sleeve.
I miss when old people were like this. Della Reese is dressed how my grandma used to dress back then lol and their relationship is how my other grandparents used to interact. I was a kid when this came on initially,I really miss the black society I grew up on.
I was just watching some these episodes this morning then I just heard that Della Reese died today that makes me sad may she and Redd Foxx rest in peace.
"I feel like a new man!" "Me too, but I think I'm gone stay with you..." Hilarious!! I'm steals that for sure! I love Redd and Della!! And Larenze Tate! Who knew he was on this show!?
C. Buck Hyres it was, but that’s not why the he went busted. He never paid his taxes. But he was on the rebound when he was doing this show and then he died on the set.
@Vegas Mitchell so judgemental and ignorant. Did you ever think that maybe, coming from poverty, that he hated seeing people he cared about in poverty? And gambling is just as much as a disease as any other addiction? But most importantly, who needs your sympathy? You say "I never felt sorry" as if anyone asked you to.
Wow. . .just WOW I'm so grateful we have something as incredible as TH-cam there's so much I've never discovered I learn something new everyday I have NEVER seen or even heard of this show in my life even tho I was only a 1 year old baby when this was made this is such an incredible piece of black entertainment history Eddie Murphy created this show with a practically all-star cast R.I.P. Redd Foxx and Della Reese.. I never expected to see a little Naya Rivera and I never realized she was also Little Richie's friend on Family Matters she's literally been acting all her life and now she's in the tabloids for her messy fight with her husband lol smh and Larenz Tate who went on to become a very well respected Veteran of actors and still looks exactly the same..this was a gem that I just happened to randomly stumble upon..thanks for uploading and keeping incredible things like this going for the next generations to see 💯✊🙌👑🔥
I love this show. They don't make them like this anymore. Its sad that this generation that's coming has nothing but garbage to watch on television. Shows like these had a positive message and image as well. The Royal family was one of those shows you didn't mind your children watching. Now this stuff that comes on today makes me run. Thank God I grew up watching shows like this.
Redd Foxx- Born john elroy sanford. born december 9 1922- died october 12 1991 at the age of 68. great comedian and actor HE was so broke when he died that eddie murphy paid for his funeral
after Redd Foxx's passing they brought in Jackee' Harry, first to play Della Reese's sister Ruth, then the show went on hiatus to re-work the series premise...when the show returned, instead of being Della Reese's sister, she became the Royal's oldest daughter, named Coco...but after Redd's death the show didn't match the ratings it did when Foxx was on the show
rip red fox this my first time seeing this show i loved his show sanford and son hes verry funny.he died of an heart attack doing this show. thank you della reese for a wonderful show
TEVIN WILLIAMS maybe so but he was a old man and lived amazing life so I bet he was happy cause shit you can’t take none of those things with you after you die... and you really never own nothing and most of the time when you rich your damn family fight over everything even if you have a will.. so shit in his case nobody gets nothing cause the RIS took everything
who left this milk in the refrigerator with just a SWALLA IN THE CONTAINAH! HA! that line she also said in Harlem Nights!!! DELLA! This show didnt last long but had great potential and a real good ensemble cast. The bad news? Redd Foxx had a heart attack ON the set of this show and died there.
Sadly, Redd Foxx had a heart attack on the set of this show. The cast was slow to react because they thought he was playing like the Fred Sanford character did. He was revived but died later that night at the hospital. I remember when this happened. He was only 68 years old.
This was a hilarious show with dela reese and red fox you can't go rong it was sad to hear that red fox passed especially on the set but he may be gone but will never be forgotten rest in peace my brother and i hope ms dela reese is still with us i haven't heard other wise cause she is a damn good actress and real funny too.............
So sad #ReddFoxx) was Making, his come back with this show OH yes it was a hit but sadly as we all know he passed away on the set while filming rest in peace my brother Redd Foxx and my beautiful sister Della Reese 2 Class Actors Most of All let us no forget" entertainers, as well as... Legends tonight it just turned a new year 20/20 and look you see that us your fans have not forgotten about the both of you when it's time for me to leave this world your names will still carry on May God bless the both of you ( 👼)
Mother Father, even the greats like Redd Foxx were treated like sheeple. Such a shame the producers displayed no remorse during the time of his death. I've always said corporate America will step over your dead body to turn a dollar. Foxx, you ol' heathen I miss you.
***** Too bad he isn't recognized for it. His Star should really be bigger than it is. I have one of his concerts on DVD and with the First joke had us all laughing.
This show, just like "8 Simple Rules" and "Chico and the Man" was on its way to being a long-running classic, but when it's main star suddenly passed away, rather than simply end the show, they chose to continue. The obvious conclusion was that the magic just wasn't there anymore. The big hole left by the dearly departed star could never be filled by a replacement.
Just watched Lorenz Tate on the Breakfast Club and he mentioned this show. I remember watching and loving for this show and hoping for Redd Foxx to fix his finances, then he died. Another show I liked was 'Me and the Boys' with Steve Harvey and Madge Sinclair - then Madge died. SAD
This show could've had a chance had Redd Foxx not passed on. It was a VERY lame idea to add Jackee' to the show after he died. Della said Redd's character wasnt even mentioned in a death or phased out. He was treated like a recurring character. There one day gone the next. What a way 2 treat a comedy legend.
soulman2000 His death was mentioned. They had a funeral episode. Don Bexley, Slappy White and Reynaldo Rey were in it. Doesn't change the fact that the Producer killed him, though.
So sad when Naya (Hilary) said "I'm going to be old one day, I want my piece now!!😭😢😢 R.I.P gone way to soon, sis!!
I was thinking the same thing
RIP Della Reese & Redd Foxx!
Yes two legends
Della is still alive.
Della Reese is dead!? Are you sure?
@@Liawino I apologize. I recently found out that she did pass away years ago.
@@shadracer2838 Thanks so much. I recently found out.
Redd Foxx and Della Reese were two of the GREATEST legends in show business I hope that the both of them are really able to rest peacefully "RIP"
And little Naya, too!
Rest Easy Della Reese!
Bianca Moore We miss her
Bianca Moore And Redd Foxx!
😂😂 who put this milk in the refrigerator with just a swallow left🙌🙌 Harlem nights😂😂 just with orange juice
I know right. I got a laugh from that.
Trinity Cummings that is a refrigerator joke
J.D. Whitfie
It's a Halen Nights joke because the same thing happened to the same actors in Harlem Nights
Juanita Franklin classic.
I miss when old people were like this. Della Reese is dressed how my grandma used to dress back then lol and their relationship is how my other grandparents used to interact. I was a kid when this came on initially,I really miss the black society I grew up on.
How are your
My grandmother and grandfather were so different
Exactly mine too. Those were some good times.
LOL the milk part was reference to Harlem Nights, lol.
Yes lol
Makes sense, Eddie Murphy created that movie and this show.
Wasn't it Orange juice in Harlem Nights?
@@raymondsolisjr.1262
Yep
Raymond Solis Jr. yes.
Redd Fox and Della Reese had good chemistry.
Awww RIP Naya. I remember this so well.
Reds fox, fella reese, and naya rivers are all in heaven !!!!.
Redd Foxx: I'm fine. I feel like a new man.
Della Reese: I do too, but I think I'm gonna keep you.
LOL!!!!!! Brilliant!
Crystal Grose I laughed out loud.
R I P TO ONE OF OUR TOP STARS MS DELLA RESSE WE TRULY APPERCIATE ALL YOU HAVE EVER DONE AND WE WILL MISS YOU
Da Boi LeN-OX it was Kim it was me
I was just watching some these episodes this morning then I just heard that Della Reese died today that makes me sad may she and Redd Foxx rest in peace.
"I feel like a new man!" "Me too, but I think I'm gone stay with you..." Hilarious!! I'm steals that for sure! I love Redd and Della!! And Larenze Tate! Who knew he was on this show!?
This would have been a great show if Redd hadn't passed. He and Della had a great chemistry..... Sad!!! It was his comeback.
Just heard Della Reese account on how the producers treated Foxx like crap. No wonder Eddie paid for his funeral, I never knew he created this show.
C. Buck Hyres it was, but that’s not why the he went busted. He never paid his taxes. But he was on the rebound when he was doing this show and then he died on the set.
Damn
@Vegas Mitchell so judgemental and ignorant. Did you ever think that maybe, coming from poverty, that he hated seeing people he cared about in poverty? And gambling is just as much as a disease as any other addiction?
But most importantly, who needs your sympathy? You say "I never felt sorry" as if anyone asked you to.
@david shawn Yes they did. Check out her interview Reese interview on Foxx death
Redd Foxx Also Couldn’t Read Write Or Spell So let’s Not Act Like This Didn’t Play A Role Of Him Going Broke
i was a teen when this show came out but i am glad that it was posted here for me to view again. it was on a start to something good. RIP to Redd Foxx

r.i.p great actor's
R.i.p. dj
Della Reese was sounding like Harlem Nights w/"who put the milk in the fridge w/just a swallow? " switch the milk & orange juice & there you go. Lol.😂
"Who put this milk in the refrigerator with just a swallow left in the container?" I was sooooo hoping that she would continue on that theme!
I got my mouth all ready for some milk and it ain't but a swallow in the container
Charles Hamilton well swalla it & shut da fuck up! Lol
Della Reese and Larenz Tate were the highlight of this show.
And not Redd Foxx? GTFO
Naya Rivera is so adorable little and a sweetheart!
Redd Foxx- Born john elroy sanford. born december 9 1922- died october 12 1991 at the age of 68. great comedian and actor
HE was so broke when he died that eddie murphy paid for his funeral
IRS stole....Sorry I mean took his money. Bunch of thieves.
steve jackley
steve jackley yup this show would've been successful if he didnt died I feel like it would have been his comeback
Damn, that's a shame I didn't know he was broke.
+Se'renity yea n he had his cars n house took away by IRS...they treated him bad..sad..May his soul rest in peace
Lorenz Tate still looks the same.
The Bobby Jarel it looked cuter on south central.
The Bobby Jarel Harlem you got my mouth ready for so hass and do not have not thing
Omari Crawley . l

yesz
Rest in peace Della, Redd, and Naya
Thanks TH-cam for sharing such an inspiring show never seen this on tv since I was born. Thanks a lot
Lorenzo Tate, Della Reese, and Rex Foxx in one show. WOW! Talk about a star-studded cast.
I remember this show. Thea and some of the other stuff. Thanks for posting this.
How come I never saw this ?
miche b I said the same thing 👀 and I know bout every old show but this one shit I’m 35 now
after Redd Foxx's passing they brought in Jackee' Harry, first to play Della Reese's sister Ruth, then the show went on hiatus to re-work the series premise...when the show returned, instead of being Della Reese's sister, she became the Royal's oldest daughter, named Coco...but after Redd's death the show didn't match the ratings it did when Foxx was on the show
Redd Foxx was the saving grace of this show. The other members of the family didn't work. Redd was comedic gold.
"He was in that group with Jack Lemmon...and uh....Bingo."
Beatles reference 🎸🎶
What?! How did I miss this show back in the 90s? Great cast!!
this show was created by Eddie Murphy
Didn't know that.
Mercedes Pettiford I didn't know that
WOW!!!
PATRICO DE SOUZA!!! Shut the hell up....
Foreign MilkyWay really
rip red fox this my first time seeing this show i loved his show sanford and son hes verry funny.he died of an heart attack doing this show. thank you della reese for a wonderful show
OMG! I stopped it at 31 seconds. I'm cackling and can't contain myself! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't even know this show existed!
Too bad Redd had to go out the way he did. R.I.P
TEVIN WILLIAMS maybe so but he was a old man and lived amazing life so I bet he was happy cause shit you can’t take none of those things with you after you die... and you really never own nothing and most of the time when you rich your damn family fight over everything even if you have a will.. so shit in his case nobody gets nothing cause the RIS took everything
Two great actor's made to play roles together.....R.I.P
Mr. Foxx and Mrs. Reese, RIP💔💔💔. I MISS THEM💔

Chef Mario D. Lacy thats so messed up how they treated them
n these employers are the same way o n these jobs
Thank u for sharing this, 2 of my favorite people in Hollywood Rest I'm power Redd and Della
Fred looks amazing here, he is roughly in his 80's-early 90's.
***** Really? I could have sworn Redd was older way older than that. Huh thanks for clearing that up.
***** Very young. He looked good for his age tho, very good. He looks had he not had that Heart Attack, like he would have live another 10-15yrs easy.
***** Too bad he isn't recognized for it. His Star should really be bigger than it is. I have one of his concerts on DVD and with the First joke had us all laughing.
***** Do you think they will release the Sanford serries?
Redd Foxx was 49 when Sanford and Son started. Grady was 40. They were both made to look older for the show.
I don't remember this show. I can't wait to watch it!
This show, just like "8 Simple Rules" and "Chico and the Man" was on its way to being a long-running classic, but when it's main star suddenly passed away, rather than simply end the show, they chose to continue. The obvious conclusion was that the magic just wasn't there anymore. The big hole left by the dearly departed star could never be filled by a replacement.
the producers spat on redd's grave
Just watched Lorenz Tate on the Breakfast Club and he mentioned this show. I remember watching and loving for this show and hoping for Redd Foxx to fix his finances, then he died. Another show I liked was 'Me and the Boys' with Steve Harvey and Madge Sinclair - then Madge died. SAD
Jearl
Barbara5 I C, What?
Yeah.... That was so sad on both occasions!! I remember that show as well and the one Sinbad had...
This show could've had a chance had Redd Foxx not passed on. It was a VERY lame idea to add Jackee' to the show after he died. Della said Redd's character wasnt even mentioned in a death or phased out. He was treated like a recurring character. There one day gone the next. What a way 2 treat a comedy legend.
soulman2000 they never treat the black legends with respect
soulman2000 His death was mentioned. They had a funeral episode. Don Bexley, Slappy White and Reynaldo Rey were in it. Doesn't change the fact that the Producer killed him, though.
fred g's last t.v. series, good look eddie murphy for keeping fred g doing thangs, the funniest comedian ever, but eddie is a close second.
I LOVE ALL BLACK COMEDY SHOW'S FOR LIFE, IT'S JUST SOME PROGRAMS ARE WROTE BETTER THEN THE OTHER'S.
they worked so well together
Yooooo!! I don't even remember this joint. This is crazy.
