Can't believe I'm doin' this, but I know there are some fans on the board, sooo.... Sanford & Son 48 hour marathon on TV Land. Started yesterday, so you have about 24 hours left i guess.
Oh man, how terrible... you've forgotten Dwayne's intro. He used to say "Hey hey hey hey" when he greeted Raj or Re-run sometimes.
A couple of interesting things about show....Redd Foxx's real name was John Sanford, and heavyweights like Richard Pryor and Gary Shandling were writers on the show -- all according to the Internet Movie Database.
My favorite What's Happening episode was the one with the Doobie Brothers. Some Pimps wanted the gang to illegally tape record the concert and the Doobie Borthers came by and gave them a lecture. Of course years later, Raj started Napster and the rest was history.
Yeah, and the funniest part of the episode was how the entire place noticed ReRun dropped the tape recorder and everything including the earth's rotation came to a stop. Even more dramatic was one of the Doobie's pointing at the tape recorder on the ground making an awkward situation even more embarrassing for ReRun. However, nothing beats That's My Mama for low budget hilarity. The whole set used to shake when they shut the doors. I also remember an episode of Good Times where you could see the boom mic overhead.
