Redd Foxx and Lena Horne
One of my favorite sitcoms of all time is Sanford and Son. My dad and I watched and rewatched and rewatched this hilarious show. We’d laugh our heads off every time – even though we had the episodes memorized, they never failed to fill our living room with laughter and joy.
One of my favorite episodes is titled A Visit from Lena Horne. Anyone who knows anything at all about me knows that I am obsessed with Lena Horne, so I guess this really doesn’t come as much of a surprise! One of my favorite stars…. on one of my favorite shows?? It doesn’t get any better than that!
The hilarious episode first aired in 1973. I rewatched it (for probably the millionth time!) this past week and it is as wonderful today as it was then. The writing and acting on this perfect series is timeless.
You can watch Sanford and Son on Prime Video or order the complete series on dvd (link to the complete collection on Amazon).
