''Sanford and Son'' is an American sitcom, that ran on the NBC television network from January 14, 1972 to March 25, 1977. It was originally based on the BBC's ''Steptoe and Son''. Known for its edgy racial humor, running gags and catch phrases, the series was adapted by Norman Lear and considered NBC's answer to CBS's ''All in the Family''. ''Sanford and Son'' has been hailed as the precursor to many other African American sitcoms. It was a ratings hit throughout its six-season run. While the role of Fred G. Sanford was known for his bigotry and cantankerousness, the role of Lamont Sanford was that of a conscientious peacemaker. At times, both characters would involve themselves in schemes. Other colorful/unconventional characters on the show included Aunt Esther, Grady Wilson, Bubba Bexley, and Rollo Lawson. In 2007, ''Time'' magazine included the show on their list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time". == Summary == ''Sanford and Son'' stars Redd Foxx as Fred G. Sanford, a widower and junk dealer living at 9114 S. Central Ave. in the Watts neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles, California and Demond Wilson as his son Lamont Sanford. In his youth, Fred moved to South Central Los Angeles from his hometown of St. Louis. After the show's premiere in 1972, newspaper ads touted Foxx as NBC's answer to Archie Bunker, the bigoted white protagonist of ''All in the Family''. Both shows were adapted by Norman Lear from BBC programs. ''Sanford and Son'' was adapted from ''Steptoe and Son'' and ''All in the Family'' from ''Till Death Us Do Part.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanford and Son」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
