ABOUT SANFORD AND SON: The highest-rated half-hour series in NBC history at the time, Sanford and Son stars Redd Foxx as the cantankerous sexagenarian Fred Sanford and Demond Wilson as his son Lamont, also his business partner in the family junk-dealing business. To prevent his son from leaving home, and bent on having things his own way in general, Fred often calls upon such ruses as fake heart attacks or phony back ailments. Lamont usually sees through these subterfuges, but because he loves his father, he lets him think he's getting his way.

"If you weren't crippled I'd make you one" 😂😂😂😂
Ethel couldn't help from laughing even when Fred Sanford cracked on her😂
The actors must have had fun in rehearsals.
I love how Ethel was calmer than Esther while delivering the comebacks
Agreed,she wasn't over the top. That's why I liked her.
She doesn't let Fred get to her she jst throws them back lol....What a gal
Agreed and she laughed at his insults whereas Esther was ready to swing her purse 😂
@@cdubz265And she would have knocked him out! Lol! I agree, Ethel is a class act. Best comeback…if you weren’t a cripple, I’d make you one! 😂😂😂
Alex works at the bank he mop floors at the bank that’s what I said if you got a Mapo you gotta walk him 1:56 1:58 1:59 2:01 2:03 2:03 2:05
Beah Richards was such a beautiful lady and what a wonderful actress. She never got I don't feel the recognition she deserved. There was such an elegance about her. RIP Ms. Richards 1920-2000
I agree today was elegant and the movies when she appears he gets all the attention rest in peace my sister
I Agree Wit' That!!!
Indeed she was. Her 2 Best Performances in my opinion... In "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" as Sidney Poitier's Mom, & on an appearance on the show "Designing Women".
#RESTINHEAVEN
I sold furniture to her on two occasions ! She was a lovely lady 😍!!
Good actress....
"She had to hurry son she had a crutch following her" 😂😂. I love Fred❤❤
MENnaked you
@@rodneypointer425 "Ethel how would you like one cross your lip? You know I got one arm free and I can give you one across your lip. Fred is the best.
Took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Fred: "That wasn't a stumble, that was a hesitation." Lol! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ethel fought with Fred , Esther was a bible thumper who tried to convert Fred.
I had to hesitate when I took a look at you and the rest of Elizabeth’s family
@@raegasper3092 "Don't you talk about my family." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@theirishone7747 i’ll talk about your family your family was the ugliest family in Detroit, then y’all moved to St. Louis and took over the championship
@@jonaselbertgray8039 And _both_ weren't afraid to stand up to Fred...they just had different ways of doing it. (Esther, with her "fight fire WITH fire" attitude, and Ethel's "cool" way of giving Fred's sh!t right back to him!! (And guess what...it was *always* the audience who WON with never-ending *laughs* !!) :-)
Ethel I fell off a truck, what's your excuse? LMFAO I died🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing beats Aunt Esther, but I still like her. She’s like a cooler headed version. You can imagine Ethel being a hybrid of Esther and Elizabeth. Definitely believable as another sibling.
Aunt Ethel, Don't you talk about my family, Fred, I'll talk about your family!! LOL
Your family was the ugliest family in Detroit. Then y’all moved to St. Louis and took over the championship lol 😂
It's too bad they didn't keep the character of Aunt Ethel. She was only in two episodes. It would have been pure comedic gold to have Ethel and Esther both team up on Fred once in awhile. Can you imagine the fights!
You're right! That would of given "ME" a heart attack! But, they switched Ethel, bc Redd Foxx wanted Lawanda Page, one of his best friends.
YES!!!!!!!!!
@@angelasmith3967 Elizabeth had several sisters so they actually could have kept Aunt Ethel if they really wanted to and just added Lawanda Page to the cast. Ultimately I think they were just being cheap.
@@jay1hi547 yelp she triped me out!lol how she looked at Fred😍😍😀😀😀!lol and said don't u talk bout my family! I was brallinglol sisterlol!man I was threw😀😀😍😍!lol she didn't play wit Fred 😂😂😂!lol they both need a academy award for this show!😂😂😂😂!priceless to me!
The other episode she was in (but it was a small part) she needed money for surgery to remove her gallbladder when Fred came into some cash!
He mop floors at the bank 🤣🤣 like I said if you mop em you gotta walk em 🤣🤣
Hey...who's to say Fred didn't speak the TRUTH??
I fell off a truck. What's your excuse? 😂😂😂😂
😂
Ya know -- as much as Aunt Esther helped MAKE the show, Aunt Ethel was _no one_ to be messed with. Her best line *ever* was ~2:12: "If you weren't a cripple I'd MAKE you one!" LOLOL!! (I know *I* would never mess with "Aunt Ethel"!!) :-)
I liked how she was calm as she clapped back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You are a SELFISH man."
@@jaymike987She meant that thing too! It was in her eyes!
"Now you've got a foot out of commission and a head to match!"
"I'M WARNING YOU!" 🤣
"I fell off a truck,what's your excuse"😂
Fred Fred how could you be so clumsy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@raegasper3092 I fell off a Truck what’s your excuse
If you weren't crippled I'd make you one 😂😂😂
"Don't you talk about my family"
Both Aunt Esther and Ethel said the exact same thing lol
😄 Yes and Fred's comeback, always, begins with..... " I'll talk about your family. "
Lamont had a lot of aunts.
Elizabeth, Ethel, Esther, Ellen, Elsie, Rosetta, Flossie and Minnie - The Winfield Sisters

Fred was savage! 😂
No matter how many times I hear it, that 'wooden turban' line always gets me good. 😆

Fred Sanford always had the perfect comebacks in every episode. They don't make shows like this anymore.
He mop floors at the bank!😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The writing on this show was superb
I would have liked to see more of Ethel.
I used to think she was supposed to be Esther, like an early version
That was a great clip. Aunt Ethel was fantastic.
She was great!
If you weren’t crippled I’d make you one🤣
Ethel let me tell you something if you ain’t outta here by the time I count to three I’m gonna take this crutch and wrap it around your head so many times you think you wearing a wooden turban
“The ugliest family in Detroit….then y’all moved to St Louis and took over the Championship!!” ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
🤣🤣🤣
Sanford and Son was the greatest half hour on television. I was in high school when it came on air. Redd Foxx and Lawndale Page battles made the show. That was when comedy was truly great and television as a whole was truly great. Sanford and son is timeless, I still love it today as I loved it when it first came on the air. There are some programs that you grew up watching but cannot watch it consistently now. Fred,Lamont,Esther, Grady, Bubba,Rollo, Donna,and the rest I f the gang really made watching television a pleasure. It's the first time that I seen and heard the "N" word spoken without repercussions. That episode at the court was one of the funniest episode that I've seen.
Beah Richards...get into an Emmy award winning actress.👑👑👑
I can't stop laughing 😂🤣 at this show.
Why did you cut the clip before Fred delivered the punchline?
Fred:" Remember that old saying, You are what you eat.' Well, I guess I'll go 'head and make an ash of myself."
Right! Thanks for making me laugh! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅and he serious as a heart attack when he said that! 😂😂😂😂😂
Elizabeth's sisters didn't like Fred at all🤦🏿♂️
"If u gon mop em,u gotta walk em"
OMG! Love me some Sanford and Son! It will never get old. They're all so funny. This is good clean comedy!
I fell off a truck what’s your excuse 😂😂😂
Chicago Red and I was coming up as a kid is one of the funniest dudes
These were the best ever TV shows growing up in the late 70's and 80's going into the 90's
Bea Richards one of the greatest actresses ever.
She can't make it but she stopped by..
Lmaooooo I was like wait what??
That’s our people all right 😂😃😅🤣
To be nosy
@@-savannah amen!!
She just wanted to laugh after fred...lol
These eggs have been cremated. Black is beautiful, but not when it comes to eggs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I guess that I'll make an ASH out of myself!!!!!" 😂
We need more of Aunt Ethel! Lol!!!
Aunt Ethel was just as funny as aunt esther.
😄 (lol) “ Ethel dropped by under the false pretense of seeing Lamont when She really just wanted to see the injured Fred. ”
Rofl at "Wearing a Wooden Turban"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She made an appearance when asking Fred for his gambling win, he planned to go to Vegas but ended up giving the money to her for gallbladder operation and Bubba’s cab; poor Fred 😂😂it was all Lamont’s fault 😓
"Don't you come in here trying to break up MY marriage!" LOL
I love Ethel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beah Richards was a great actress.
Ethel:Don't talk about my family. Fred:I'll talk about your family. Ethel: Fred you so clumsy You look ridiculous. Fred: I fell off a truck Ethel, what's your excuse??? 😆 😆
Fred: I fell off a truck ethel what's your excuse LOL
LOL!! "these eggs look like they was cremated"
the comebacks are so cool
“Imma take this crutch and wrap it around to head so many times, you think you wearing a wooden turban.” LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine Ethel and Esther together. Fred wouldn't have a moments peace
I love also how she too just starts picking with him, and he always ends it.
This type of comedy would never fly today but how can you not laugh
It’s hilarious
A wooden turbin LMAO
This is virtually the same conversation Fred had with Aunt Esther, in which he tells her to put her liver on her face when she said she has inner beauty.
One of the most famous scenes.
well fred sanford just look at you, you are a sight, you look RIDICULOUS .. hahahahaha! :)
I will always treasure this talented actress. Her role in the Heat of the Night with Sidney portier just show what she could truly do. Brilliance!
business owner vs janitor... no comparison.
NEVER an Emmy nomination for Redd Foxx? Now THERE'S discrimination for you.
Redd Foxx was nominated at least 3 times.
There folks were so crazy. I can't stop laughing. They sure don't make them like this anymore.
Moved to St. Louis and took over the championship.
The exchanges between Ethel and Fred is classic:
Ethel: well Fred Sanford, you are sight, just look at you, you look ridiculous
Fred : Ethel I fell off a truck what's your excuse 😂
Or
Ethel: Don't you talk about my family
Fred : I'll talk about yo family, yo family was the ugliest family in Detroit, then y'all moved to St. Louis and took over the championship😂
Or
Ethel: ...get a respectable job like my Alex
Fred: Yo Alex got a respectable job?
Ethel: You know he has, he works in a bank.
Fred: he mop floors at the bank.
Ethel: Alex is a floor walker
Fred : that's what I said, if you got mop' em you got to walk'em.😂😂😂😂😂
RIP BEAU AUTHOR
Beah Richards??? 🤦🏽♀️
Eh. You wanna try that again?
If I close my eyes, Beah sound like 1 of my aunts, callin somebody ridiculous.... 🤣
I LOVE Bea Richards she could do anything
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁
I like this show, good stomach laugh 😆
I was gasping for air the entire time 🤣🤣🤣
When Lamont flipped that egg over at the end I hollered 😂
She was so amazing in " MAHOGANY."
Her gall bladder
Why lamont act like he don't be hearing them argue but when Fred about to throw something he comes out.
Reding comments r equally enjoyable as watching this clip !!!!
I've always loved watching sanford and son,it was always my favorite tv show
Fred always hated both of Lamonts aunts Ethel and Esther
One of the most entertaining ensembles about" everyrhing"!
Vitriolic banter BEST😂HUMOR!
O man just abaout every line is funny !!!!
Awesome!!!
Well how do you want 'em?
...OVER! 🍳
Triva for yall. Aunt Ethel played in the original Heat of the Night movie with S. Poiter. She played the backwoods abortion doctor.
Don't forget--she also played Mr. Poitier's mother in 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner'.
Donna Brown Juliaflo 😃 " Bea Richards, also, played ' Aunt Florence ' in the 1975 Mahogany movie starring Diana Ross. "
😂😂 she was chilling
They cannot make this stuff anymore..this is gold...go Pacers
I love the way she laughs makes me laugh
I like when she played Mary's mother on 227.
This is wild comedy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well Fred G Sandford aren’t you a sight for sore eyes look at ya you look ridiculous 😂😂😂
FRED IS TO PICKY ABOUT HIS EGGS!!!
Beah Richards was supposed to be a foil for Fred, but her demeanor was too nice, so at Redd's advice, Lawanda Page was given a shot, as Redd knew her from the nightclub circuit. She was hired and Aunt Ethel became Aunt Esther. And we know the rest.
This performance was considered too nice? She hung in there with Redd and zinged him viciously a few times. That’s how it goes in Hollywood, I reckon. 😏
It just goes to show how fickle Hollywood can be. Sandford and Son was a hit show but this was a small part for Beah Richards especially being that a few years before this she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing Sidney Poitier's Mother in "Guess who's coming to dinner".
Beah Richards' appearance on Sanford and Son likely came from her personal choice rather than Hollywood's unpredictability. She was at the peak of her career during this time, and Richards probably had many significant roles available to her. It's possible that she chose this particular role out of her fondness for Redd Foxx and because it didn't require a major time commitment.
If you wasn't a cripple, I'd make you one!
Classic
I love her ( guess who's coming to dinner)
Esther I fell off a truck what your excuse😅
I missed the part where Fred made an ash of himself.
😂😂😂🤣🤣
Aunt Ethel reminded me of my Aunt Ernestine
2:02 Same I wanna say to my sister.
😭💙🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
