Sanford and Son/Trivia


 * The Danza: Don Bexley as Bubba Bexley. Also Redd Foxx's real name was John Elroy Sanford (he named his character after his brother, Fred G. Sanford Jr., who was named after their father).
 * Friday Night Death Slot: Completely averted. The show peaked at #2 in the ratings (behind All in The Family) during its second and fourth seasons, and kept the same timeslot for its entire run (Fridays at 8 pm).
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Woodrow was Ned The Wino on Good Times. Pat Morita also appeared as one of Lamont's friends.
 * Miss Hathaway as Hoppy's mother during the later seasons.
 * Benson is the lawyer the Sanfords hire to sue the producers of Steinberg And Son.
 * Recycled Set: One set in particular is used over and over again whenever a scene takes place inside a shop, and has been used for a pawn shop where Fred, Lamont, and Rollo try to sell a gun, a dress shop where Lamont's new girlfriend works, and eventually Woody and Esther's department store.
