of work to do and this bench needs to go over there. but we just moved it over here. don t question my authority, thanks! we talk about race and culture in serious ways. that is important. discussing these things in a sitcom, you are not offensive. you are able to take in new ideas. the family was doing something that nobody had ever done. we are talking about having one of the biggest bigots in america and having a black man coming to his house. you see my daughter gloria standing over there and her husband mike? it was electrifying! i was tangling the whole time. he is sitting there going you are watching kind of a master class in reflecting humanity. it was revolutionary in a lot of ways. all in the family change the way we think about society. that s the picture of sammy davis. to archie bunker, the whitest guy i know. you realize that norman lear is taking us into a whole new realm of comedy. my father used to tell my mother, jeanette, it
class, and you get advertisers turning towards black people. so you can see why norman lear created sanford and son. norman lear: i was in las vegas, and the lounge act was, redd foxx. and i came back just delirious with the possibility. lamont: you know what it says in the bible, love thy neighbour. fred: the guy who wrote the bible didn t live in this neighbourhood. if he had, he d say love thy neighbour but locketh thy window. randall park: red fox, just felt like this comedic force. aramide tinubu: sanford and son is set in the 1970s in watts, and fred is crotchety old man who runs a junkyard with his adult son, lamont, who wants to sort of get rich quick. lamont: there s this woman standing by the curb and she had a terrible voice. lamont: come here, sonny, i wanna show you this thing. fred: yeah, that s the way they talk. lamont: this woman was about 90 years old.
i am a man, too! i don t go around making a point of it. you never had to make a point of it. there was a huge rise of the black middle class. you would get advertisers turning towards black people, so you can see why norman lear created sanford and son. i was in las vegas and the lounge act was red fox. i came back just delirious with possibility. you know what it seems in the bible! love thy neighbor! the guy who wrote the bible didn t live in this neighborhood! he said love thy neighbor but locketh thy windows! it is about a crotchety old man who runs a junkyard with his son lamont.
i came back delirious with the possibility. you know what it says in the bible, love thigh neighbor. the guy who wrote the bible didn t live in this neighborhood. if he had, he d said love thy neighbor but lock thyeth door. it s set in watts where there s this crotch ety old man who runs a junkyard. his son lamont wants to get rich quick. she said come on. yeah, that s the way he talked, yeah. he was about 90 years old. ain t nothing worse than a 90-year-old white woman. he was like a black archie bunker. there s a season he s irascible. come to get justice and that s what i m looking for is
characters, not seeing native american people like you, you hunger for it. so when you get a side character who s not in every episode. it s not a full meal but it s something. the road to representation has been a long and winding one for many communities of color. after chico and the man, it would be a really long time before a latinx standup comic would be embraced by audiences. everybody doesn t go, you do a show about a latino family. good luck. carmen, we re dealing with this now. if you re going to open a restaurant in the beginning, you have to make it appeal to everyone. is it that big a deal? why does she need to know how to swim? we re right here. the george lopez show was great because it didn t try to reinvent the wheel. it was a traditional family sitcom. dad, i don t want to talk
