Leaving the Nest talks about a funeral (we all will die one day) who's ready for that? I wonder if the average person would really feel right drinking and getting drunk after going to a funeral? Aunt Easter is right we will all be judged on the last day and some will be enjoying the weeping and gnashing of teeth. What an awful thing for someone for all of eternity. This show may have a lot of laughter but it also has a lot of reality and truth as well.

In part 2 of the episode, take notice that when Fred serves the drinks there is one glass that is much fuller than the others are and everyone takes a glass but they leave the one with the most for Fred. I thought it was quite interesting that all those glasses would be taken and the one with the most left for Fred don’t you. Take notice that one of the party girls that shows up at Fred’s home Lamont took out one night. Lamont called them the old grey dudes ain't what they use to be, I remember that Fred was a grey fox at one time? Remember he was with the grey foxes.

My Brother-in-laws Keeper shows how many people are racist.

The Sanford Arms. In reality, many people are poor like Fred and Lamont and even though we know this is just a comedy show so much can be learned about people that are poor and try to step up a little bit. It really does the heart good to know and understand there are real people just like these two that are in reality trying to step up and how happy they must feel trying. We can have fun watching and still have our hearts filled and make our days better ones knowing there are so many worse off than we are wouldn’t you say. What do you have that others do not and how does that make you feel? Enjoy your day knowing you’re better off knowing someone else has it much worse than you do. This show tells the truth about many things in our world like the banks, do they really care about you or are they just all greedy?

Take notice at the end of part 1 Fred is painting a sign, but did you notice that the sign is already done and Fred is just following the already painted sign with a brush with a little paint on it. He makes the last line a little longer than the original line was cool ha.

Part 2 also shows how many people really are. When you really do not want someone around you or to stay in your rooming house when they have the money many people will take it. Many people do not use their pride because money is more important to them then there morals. Fred didn’t really want the drummer but when he showed the money, he took him in.

Super Flyer this shows how many families do not really care about the other but how money is more important to them than family, it’s a real shame but many times it is the truth, how sad that is but again Fred and Lamont tell the truth about what really goes on in our world. I cannot believe how much a comedy show like this one can really bring out the truth about what goes on in many people’s minds.

In part 2 of Super Flyer Fred really brings out the truth that so many people do not understand there is only one God and his son Jesus is the only way to the kingdom of heaven. Many people believe there are many ways and Fred wanted to make sure of that as he wore everything of every religion possible around his neck before he got on that airplane. However, the sad thing is many people think like that but in reality there’s only one way and that is through Gods son Jesus. Now that is the real true reality. Poor Fred he seems to always get the bad end of the stick but one thing about Fred he never stops trying. Too bad no one uses that kind of mentality. Keep on trying.

In Fred Sanford has a baby episode, how do you spell Casenta. I think this is it because Bubba said it was a seven letter word. Anybody else have any ideas how to spell it? Is that really a word? And the answer is NO it is not Bubba really did lose. In part 2 of this episode the two men sitting down while the nurse is showing Fred how to change a baby are laughing their heads off but did anybody ever notice there is a third person sitting down. If you look closely, you can see their wearing white pants and you can see their leg swaying back and forth. Look and see if you can see what I see. In part, 3 I wish all people would take a lesson from Fred and Lamont, they don’t have much money but they give 40 dollars to the couple that had the baby. When is the last time you gave to someone in need?

In the episode Lamont Is That You? Can you find the dartboard? How about the Lantern and the golf clubs? There's also several interesting pictures on the walls and sitting on different tables. I like the one with the windmill, ever seen that one? On the other hand, is your answer I DON’T KNOW HA HA. I WONDER IF THE OLD DOCTOR EVER GOT HIS OTHER 5 BUCKS?

The Winning Ticket episode, When Fred sells Bubba a piece of sewer pipe for 2 dollars they must have had 2 dollars bills back then because Bubba only gave him one bill, interesting ha? The word God is spelled on a sign see if you can find it in the outside part of the junk yard. The trophy Fred one for being businessman of the year is eating in his home. See if you can find it. Fred said where he would put it. I also found Fred’s pool stick in the house so see if you can find that as well. At the end of the winning ticket episode Richard Prior is seen doing his stand up comedy, although I do not like some of his words he says has anyone noticed who’s in the audience. Answer: Aunt Easter is there laughing like crazy. You will find her right at 8:06 in the minutes of the episode.

In Fred’s Extra Job episode, Fred has a new telephone, it’s not the rotary type it’s a push button phone. While at the back, the banker looks up Fred’s property on a map. When I saw that, he found it Fred’s junkyard is real close to the ocean so it really must be worth quite a bit wouldn’t you think. Watch the banker and see where he points out Fred’s property on the map. Fred bought the property in 1945 so it’s at least 31 years old so that would mean Fred’s in this back in the year 1976.I made a call and there is an address of 9114 south central and that property today is worth way over one million dollars. The banker is wrong in his figures because the interest on the 6000-dollar loan would come to 3125 dollars. The total pay back is 9125 dollars and Fred is only getting 6000. So subtract 9125 from 6000 equals 3125. Glad he’s not my banker, although I do not have one. Ha ha. Fred is making 15 dollars a night so that is at five nights a week 300 dollars a month. His loan payment is only 30 dollars a month so he should be able to pay it off pretty soon. Nevertheless, the way he likes to gamble I hope he took a life insurance policy out on the loan so that Lamont wouldn’t lose it all. Fred could pay the loan off in less than two and a half years if he wanted to with interest.

In the Back to School Fred episode I found out that Lamont is 37 years old, because Lamont said there are not too many men that are 68 years old that would go back to school and get there diploma. Fred said is never bothered him until right there in the maternity ward that right there and then he decided to get it. Therefore, Lamont said so lickety split 37 years later Fred decided to get it. Therefore, Lamont must be 37 years old right.

The Sanford and Son Carol episode, Fred was 25 years old when he helped Carol with the bank robbery. See if you can find out how I know that.  Orange juice, prune juice, tomato juice, Worcestershire, salt and peeper, ketchup, and tobacco sauce and a raw egg. I wonder if that really works for a hangover. Does anyone know what year it was that Fred and Carol where in the bank? I do it was the year 1936 as you look closely look at the Christmas club sign and it will tell you. In addition, Fred was riding in a model A Ford that day. Thank goodness, nobody got shot that day. I guess it was because everybody was out of there herds. This episode was in 1976. I know that because 1936 and 40 years later would be 1976. I wonder what the interest rates were back then. 250,000 dollars for 20 years got him 60,000 dollars interest. Can anyone figure out what the interest rate would have been? Everything adds up as Carol said he spent 20 years in prison because the robbery happened in 1936 and he got out of prison in 1956 so that is 20 years. Therefore, 20 years later he visits Fred, 1976.Carol became a bank guard in 1976, it just goes to show you we judge people much different now days then they did back then. Carol would have a chance on becoming a back guard now days. We live in a very judgmental world, so sad people can’t get another chance at life. After all people do pay their debts back to society, shouldn’t that be enough for making a mistake. I only wish it were.  

In part 2 of The Barracuda episode, did anyone ever see Fred when he came out of the kitchen he had a cigarette in his left  hand and dropped it and never did put it out or pick it up.

In Losing My Mind, I cannot figure out why the Doctor put a big bandage on the front of Fred’s head. Aunt Easter hit the back of his head didn’t she? I like the picture of the Sheppard watching over his sheep. Fred has many Godly pictures in his home. Even though Fred and Easter are always at each other cutting one another down you can still see that deep down they really do love and care about one another. There may be someone like that in your own life. Just thought I would throw that out there, and maybe it might help someone. Wouldn’t that be nice to see happen.

Remember the episode where Lamont finds a piece of rare porcelain, well it’s been sitting on the shelf in their house for a long time. I wonder what Fred and Lamont think of gay people? I know what God think of them. He loves them but just doesn’t agree with it. It’s sinful. How many sets of golf clubs do Fred and Lamont have? I can tell you there’s more than one set. What does the sign say on the front door of the gay blade? No one under 21 allowed. No that is not it. It says, No person under 21 allowed. I never knew that gay peoples sport was pinball but it must be especially at the gay blade, just look at the signs on the front of the building. As you go into their kitchen there is always a small light turned on. In addition, there electricity must go out a lot because they have several lanterns in their home. At exactly 5:01 in part 3 Fred was a happy man. Any idea what I am talking about? In addition, at 5:31 into part 3 Lamont was a very happy man. O well forget the birds and the bees, do what I did join Jesus.

So what is the good word? Good-bye for now but much more to come .Keep checking back on my site for more about Sanford and son. For now I am going to the kitty cat theater, meow.  God bless you all.
