SANFORD & SON DVD: 1ST SEASON

After the runaway success of their program All In The Family, the producing team of Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin took a cue from the successful British sitcom Steptoe and Son in order to create this smash vehicle for African-American comedian Redd Foxx. Sanford and Son details the comedically endless disagreements between Fred Sanford (Foxx), aging junkyard owner, and his 34 year-old son Lamont (Demond Wilson). Airing from 1972 to 1977, the show was NBC's most popular program for four of its five seasons and earned four Emmy nominations. This collection compiles all fourteen episodes from the show's first season.
