This show was the best. It would never work today because America doesn't want to be entertained, it wants to be nosy! That's why there are "reality" shows. I see people at work saying, "Did you hear what Sara said to her boyfriend last night?" Then you find out they are talking about TV shows! They think they are really there.
We're still putting social security in in a lump sum and getting it back in dribs and drabs. Since so many retirement-age people have to work anyway to make ends meet, they should make giving social security optional.

If Grady gets the same amount of money every month.. then I guess the Extra Check is a advance for the fallowing month..because it's still the same amount...either way it's not Lamont's bussiness.
Today pension + a social security check = taxation by the IRS. And believe me,they do not mind taking your SS check to pay your taxes,no matter what your situation is. Thanks to Ronald Reagan,social security is taxed (1983).And I wonder if his state of Alzheimers was in progress at that time,doubt it because the act of screwing poor people sounds like the action of an average,everyday Republican's rationale.All hail the US of A!
Grady: oh yes they do they send out millions of checks a day so they buy rhem to make a mistake so when they sent one extra check here they balance that off and one less check there and that is known as the system of checks and balances i love that like from grady
Whitman held it down when Redd was "holding out". I wonder why his spin off didn't get a chance. I think S&S could have had a little 70's sitcom empire. Hate to say it but Redd messed up a little by leaving a second time. I think on the strength of S&S a couple spin offs could have worked. Maybe Grady and a spinoff with Esther,Woody and Daniel. Or Rollo and Lamont and a "bachelor" pad? But towards the last two seasons the writting got kind of weak IMHO. It didn't jump but came close,lol!!
@SergeantReese they made a big mistake with obamma!! he wont be getting re elected another term after this..he has done nothing for the people...economy is getting worse each day....
@rr103306 Your political acumen really impresses me - soooooooooooooooooo much. I don't take political advice from teenagers. And, people who don't agree with Obama should shut up - are you fucking kidding me?
@ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ You're a conservative-swayed IDIOT! Obama's the best thing that's happened for this country, as long as people SHUT UP, get rid of the Republican politicians, and let him and the Democrats WORK to IMPLEMENT long-term solutions (instead of short-term relief fixes). You and others are sooooooooooo ignorant. And he will INDEED be re-elected for a second term, as people still majorly love him, so get over yourself. Accept it.
@rr103306 lmao i dont fight with online trolls....lol jk youre just one of them....lmao....jk obamma is not getting another term,....so enjoy his dumb ways of running the country...we will have someone better in 2014 happy holidays....
Yo dude, ANYBODY can enjoy Sanford and Son ... regardless of color. Laughter is good for the soul. The more people can laugh, the better off we are as a race -- human race.
I was stunned to learn of Whitman Mayo's age (70) when he died in 2001. He was about 42 when he started playing Grady on this show. Yet he plays a senior citizen old enough to collect social security
That extra check came from Grady's SS account so it belongs to him not the goverment. he earned the money from working and they saved it for him...so the money belongs to Grady...lamont is wrong.
did you know that the show character fred sanford came from fred's deceased brother Fred Sanford, and that redd foxx true name was john elroy sanford and lamonts real name was grady demond wilson
I remember this episode, Lamont tries to tell Grady what to do...in regards tot he extra security check.....Hell I'd tell Lamont to mind his own dam business.
As for this episode itself, Grady is more then entitled to the second check, seeing as the government confiscated his money and held it hostage for years under threat of imprisonment. If he had invested it in conservative government bonds he would have easily doubled his money in 40 years time.
The thing is Iagree with Grady...Lamont wanted him to return the 2nd check..WHy should he , it's his money.and that 2nd check he would have got the fallowing moneth anyway...he just got it early....It's really none of Lamonts business.
Social Security is so ridiculous. I'm 24 years old and would love to be able to opt out. There is no way our incompetent government will give me anything in return... and I wouldn't get any interest on the money even if I did.
As far as those that have planned on receiving SS, keep the promise by cutting useless government services.
Why is Lamont's grown ass still relying on old men - first his father, and now Grady - to cook for him. He's pathetic. It's a wonder he ever got any girls.
Haha I knew someone who made a huge pancake like that once. He called it "The Mancake". I might have to try making flapmeal though. That's not a bad idea.
This episode made me so mad..Lamont tried to snitch...he was such a "hater"..those was Grady's checks, it was really none of Lamonts buisness what he did with them.
Thank You for another favorite episode from Season 4. While Redd Foxx was abscent from most of Season 3 and 4 due to contract disputes, Whiman Mayo(Grady)did a Great Job holding it down and making the show a success. I am such a huge fan of the show!!!
Hey man. I have to tell you. I'm so grateful that you're taking time to put these on here... Keep it up. The wife is happy. and when the wife's happy, we're all happy... thank you so much...
