Jackson Jambalaya

Sadly today’s millennials would protest this show that I watched as a kid. The whole generation would be pissed at them for a number of things. Talking about Puerto Ricans invading Harlem and talking about hot women too. Woke would shut this show down

"Didn't think it was serious."

Norman Lear produced both Sanford and Son and All in the Family, which did more for race relations than any politician ever did. And yes, both would be immediately cancelled today. By making Archie and Fred lovable but ignorant in their outdated ways, we were able to laugh while talking about serious matters.

Rollo should have gotten his own show instead of the Jefferson’s.

That’s Fred G. Sanford. The G stands for Great video on this website.

"Ester, they could stick your face in some dough and make gorilla cookies" !

That's one of top 5 sitcoms ever produced. All in the Family is right there with it.

Thank you. Wonder memories of watching this in my younger years when life wasn't so screwed up by the younger folks of today.

Oh wow a boomer hugbox echo chamber.

grandpa@ 8:49, your generation grew up brain damaged from breathing leaded gasoline fumes. Y'all are the ones who screwed this entire planet up and raised idiot GenX who raised even more idiots.

Y'all should've turned the damn TV off, put down the wine coolers, and read some books.

Fred was correct about Rollo being a crook, got convicted of burglary in the mid80’s , served some time in the California penal system. Fred was prophetic.

I haven't watched Sanford & Son since the 70s, but I've seen All In The Family since then. It didn't age well with me, and it just isn't funny to me anymore. The Mike character is particularly irksome.

Anyone who reminisces about the 70s is either a naive millenial or was too stoned at the time to realize it was the Dark Age of bad colors, uncomfortable cheap furniture, and the worst ideas since the October Revolution.

Those who forget history are doomed to buy an avocado auto.

Redd Foxx used to perform in Jackson fairly regularly. Caught him at Mae’s Cabaret one time. One of the funniest and most ribald sets I’ve ever seen. Surprised the morality police didn’t shut him down.

Millennial here. I will agree with you 100% except that the home computers of the era were absolute perfection. Atari 800, TRS-80, Commodore VIC-20, and Apple II, really filtered the low IQ scum. The internet would be a much better place if it were command line and text-only. And we wouldn’t have 99% of our geopolitical issues if all of our computers only ran on nothing more sophisticated than a Motorola 68K CPU! There is absolutely nothing worth doing online that you can’t do with a 68K. Everything else is just degeneracy!

Take a look at what is on tv now days. The local channels all have some type of dancing, singing, cooking show, or some kind of contest where bad talent and no name judges clap each other on the back. Some improvement?

You have Millennials confused with Zoomers. Millennials created 4chan, Something Awful, and Kiwi Farms. All of which are more far offensive than your Cold War-era TV programming. We aren't so easily offended.
As an example, Facebook was used to rate college hotties, and Reddit used to be more like 4chan, before it was flooded with crybaby zoomers. Now both of them are a zoomer safe space.

"Sanford and Son" and "All in the Family"...

Two of the funniest shows in American TV broadcast history.

The fact the current crop of sissy boys are upset makes it even better.

12:30 PM Growing up we had to use Compuserve, Prodigy, GEnie, and AOL to access the internet. I still use my AOL email account. I wish I had kept my old Commodore, probably collectable now.

Please tell us who is upset. I mean, beside the voices of dementia in your head.
