"Sanford and Son" is a classic American television sitcom that premiered in 1972 and quickly became a beloved show for its humor, wit, and memorable characters. Created by Norman Lear, the series revolves around the lives of Fred G. Sanford (played by Redd Foxx) and his son, Lamont Sanford (played by Demond Wilson), who run a junkyard in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Fred Sanford is a cantankerous and sarcastic junk dealer, known for his quick temper and relentless pursuit of get-rich-quick schemes. His son Lamont, the more level-headed of the two, often finds himself caught in the middle of his father's antics. Despite their frequent arguments and comedic clashes, the duo's deep bond and love for each other are evident throughout the series.
