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

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 By making Archie and Fred lovable but ignorant in their outdated ways, we were able to laugh while talking about serious matters.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.

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
