on 2010-06-22I bought this as a birthday gift for my father who is 74. He opened it and we began watching together. It took us back to when we were younger. The discs were in perfect condition. They came very promptly. This was a no regrets purchase!

on 2010-05-10Although "All in The Family" is known for being the most popular sitcom of the 1970's due to it being the #1 rated series in the nation, we can't forget how popular "Sanford and Son" was during its heydey: from 1973 on the show was the #2 rated series behind "All in The Family" for three straight seasons. Norman Lear, like "All in The Family", adapted "Sanford and Son" from a British sitcom and Americanized it by making the leads African/American. Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson were wonderful as the father and son who run a junk yard in the Watts section of southern Los Angeles. Although not as well-written as "All in The Family", "Sanford and Son" was funny, hilarious, and didn't take itself too seriously which was a welcome change from most Norman Lear sitcoms of the seventies that bordered on serious issues. Lawanda Page, a friend of Redd Foxx's and standup comedian with a mouth and mind of a sewer, became Aunt Esther, Fred Sanford's sister-in-law who carried a Bible with her, who despised Fred with a passion. When you watch the series and Aunt Esther's scenes, you can't help but notice Lawanda Page stole every scene from her co-stars. Lawanda played one of the funniest, yet underrated characters in situation comedy.
This splendid boxset contains all 135 "Sanford and Son" episodes, uncut, and restored from their original master prints. Generations will enjoy this gem from the '70's over and over.

on 2010-04-30I purchased "Sanford & Son - The Complete Series" From Amazon and I'm presently watching the second season (of six). If you are a fan of the series (and Redd Foxx in particular) you can't go wrong here. The video quality is adequate and I have seen no video or heard any audio glitches so far. The only complaint I have is the really poor quality of the interior packaging. They have dropped all of the discs in a single pile on a center spindle that is so weak you can crush it without trying. This is really sad. I assume they cut corners to keep the cost down and I might not have bought it at a higher price (like pushing $200.00) so I won't complain too loudly. Slappy White, Lena Horne, Dianne Carroll, John Amos, etc. are all here and that's just through season two. A good deal for the "Sanford" fan in my opinion at under $30.00 on sale.
