I'm convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know.
The show doesn't drive home a lesson, but it can open up people's minds enough for them to see how stupid every kind of prejudice can be.
A girl's legs are her best friends...but even the best of friends must part.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Junk runs in the family. My granddad was a junk man in St. Louis and so was my uncle.
Sanford and Son is more than just a name. It's a condition, a dynasty, an empire. This here is the finest pile of junk of the world.
