Sanford and Son The Complete Series

As advertised. Great price, quick delivery. Read more

OMG!!! The funniest show ever!!! I used to watch Sanford and Son every night as a kid and always loved the show. Just the theme music alone got you running to the living room... and now having the complete series, watching every episode made after all these years, brings back such fun memories. Hysterical, deep belly laughing the entire time. Fred, Lamont, Ester, Grady and all the rest of the crew are the best! They will keep you in some serious stitches. My 7 year old son, who didn't grow up on the show absolutely loves it! We've watched the episodes over and over again so much that he literally knows every line of every person on just about every episode. As a small toddler, he would watch the shows with me when they came on the TV Land station every now and again... and would get so excited when he heard the show theme music, running through the house yelling Mommy, the "grandpa" show is coming on...I guess Fred looked like a "grandpa" to him...LOL! Never get tired of watching the episodes of this show... all 136 episodes do we watch over and over again, just about every day. So much fun to watch and a "MUST HAVE" for every Sanford and Son fan! I read a lot of complaints about the packaging, that it was cheap and not durable. It is slim packaging as the item description informs, but who cares about the packaging, it contains the entire DVD set fine enough for me. If a casing is that much of an issue, then by a CD/DVD Case. This is an excellent product for the price... full of years of enjoyment! Read more

At $22.47 for all six seasons (136 episodes) of the show, this is a real bargain, and I didn't have to think twice about ordering it. All 136 episodes are there on 17 disks. Seasons 2-6 each span 3 disks and 24 episodes (a couple of seasons have 25 episodes). Season 1, however, only has 14 episodes spanning 2 disks. The video quality is not "great" (480p) considering the HD video we're accustomed to today, but it was what they had in those days (1972 - 1977) for "standard definition" TV (no flatscreens in those days -- remember the old CRT sets?). So on today's wide screens, it will play in "letterbox" format, with "black bars" at the left and right of the picture. You can adjust the playback to "stretch" the picture but this should not be done -- it just looks bad. It took me awhile, but I converted all 136 episodes to streaming format (MP4) stored on my Mac (running the Plex Media Server). This gives me complete flexibility to access and play any desired episode, using whatever platform I like (TV, iPhone, iPad, etc). Packaging-wise, they stacked all 17 disks one on top of another, with no padding or separators between the disks. Not good form, but if you're careful handling the disks, it should present no problem. I deducted one star mainly because the episodes are NOT in the order they originally aired (i.e., Seasons 1-6, Episodes 1-136). Whoever laid out the disks should be drawn and quartered -- there's no rhyme or reason, and only Season 2 is in its proper order. The other seasons are a seemingly random jumble of episodes. About all that can be said is that each season (3 disks) does contain the episodes for *that* season; they're just not in the proper order. This caused me a lot of extra time and effort when converting the episodes for streaming, as I had to first rip the tracks (3 disks per season, approximately 8 tracks per disk) and then painstakingly label each track with the proper episode. User DTCG did us a HUGE favor by figuring all this out and publishing a complete season/disk/track/episode listing for the benefit of others like myself. A big THANKS to DTCG! Bottom line: I'm very happy with the purchase (and glad to have all that work behind me!) Again, for anyone who is a big fan of the show, I would highly recommend this complete series box set.
