A [[From the Ashes|revival]] of ''[[Sanford and Son]]'' starring Redd Foxx as junk dealer [[Grumpy Old Man|Fred G. Sanford]]. The series attempted to recapture the magic (and the [[Ratings]]) from his previous hit. However, Demond Wilson (Lamont) didn't return, so the producers [[Long Bus Trip|dispatched his character to the Alaskan pipeline]] and cast perennial character actor Dennis Burkley as Fred's [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|new partner]] and [[Odd Couple|housemate]], [[Everything Is Big in Texas|hefty Southerner]] Cal Pettie. In addition, Fred found love with a new girlfriend: wealthy socialite Evelyn Lewis (played by Marguerite Ray).

 

The series ran on [[NBC]] for two brief seasons (26 episodes total) from March 15, 1980 to July 10, 1981.
