The salesman is the same guy who played "Luigi" in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. The only way I knew that is because I recognized him when I saw this episode.
Well, that's how they sold things in the 70s. Actually way better then the crap we have today. I know it's not right to speak ill of the dead, but I always hated Billy Mays' way of selling things. I'd rather have the song and dance.
We'll add your drop off to the rest of the collection of junk out back. Do you need me to call a couple of family members or a local institution about your current whereabouts? Tell me, what do you know...about...my father's...where...about...s?
@jonny2k100 Technically, the show is 46 seconds. The first second is a black image and transition which doesn't count as part of the show. But the video is 47 seconds.
Not only is Fred G. Sanford lucky enough to win a 50 lb. box of imitation meat, he also gets some guy wearing a couch to do a song and dance number about it.
@ryancokens Yeah. Reminds me how a lot of whites think every black guy must of grew up in the projects and BET is our religious television network we abide by.
So...why is the idiotic GShea thing on the screen? Do you really think we won't know it's you if you don't slap your name on the video with the cheapest looking font possible?
A bit of trivia about the show. This is the same set later used by the sitcom 'What's Happening'. They cleared out all the shit, put in different furniture, and presto...new set.
Based purely on the set, I have a query: Is this (whatever it is) some sort of cardboard remake of the truly great english sitcom "Steptoe and Son?" Why did American Networks insist upon remaking classic English comedies? With the sole exception of "The Office" they have made an absolute pigs ear of every single previous attempt. I mean they even made a US version of Fawlty Towers. That should be some sort of actual criminal offence. Perfection is Perfection. Do Not Tamper!
@walka112 Oddly enough, it is. But I can say, that this show was gold to the people that did enjoy it. Comedy has to change whenever it switches cultures and if it had remained true to its "roots" it probably wouldn't have had the cultural relevance it did when it first made its way in remade form to the US.
@billyez I agree with you completely. That's where the basis of my trouble with the whole habit of remakes in different countries. The very essence of it "must" by definition change to suit a different culture. Therefore, I believe, especially with some of the classics, that the original charm is lost. Regardless of which direction you swap. It feels to me like trying to wedge a square into a round hole. I think The Office worked because the subject matter was relevant to both cultures
@walka112 Ah, but the point is that the original "charm" of Steptoe and Son - a show which was developed on the other side of the pond and which I've never seen, would mos tlikely not have resonated with an American culture. I've seen a bit of both versions of The Office and while the subject matter was relevant to both, each had different styles of humor - different kinds of charm. They just have to. A true remake respects the premise while adding something new to the formula. Kind of cool!
@billyez Very nicely put. I agree for the most part, but I think it's important to clarify. I have no issue with the majority of shows that move in both directions across the pond. But its when they interfere with masterpieces, that I shrug in disbelief. And its not just America that's guilty of it. Everyone does it..But could you imagine The BBC trying to remake Two and a Half Men? It wouldn't have mattered what they did it would never hit that sweet note of magic like of the original.
@Tempteaser trolololol... on the slim off chance that "tempteaser" (TROLOLOL) is in fact a clinical retard, could someone explain to the simple person? I refer you- simple person- to "humor" You will find it in the dictionary. Under Hayche for Ospital you dumb special needs, learning impaired IQ of a pencil sharpener, imbicile!!!
