Indeed. Every time I see it on I'll watch. Still makes me laugh
Yeah he seemed like he was upset with the show and hollywood as a whole,he came off as a not so nice person in interviews which he didn't do many.After Ralo said him and Demond never got along and the only reason he was on the show was because of Red,he might of hurt his chances of doing other things just from his attitude alone.
RIP to Demond,his character and Red's vision worked beautifully together and the show will live on
Yeah, there's not a lot of shows that can do that. Sanford son is a rare breed that no matter what generation still can make you laugh.
Each tells a different story about their falling out. Redd says he was more than pissed at Demond for not supporting him when he went on strike over salary and conditions. Demond says he was angry at Redd for not telling him of his intention to walk out beforehand. We'll never know but if I had to guess which version is true I'm more inclined to believe Redd's version mainly because by all accounts Redd fought the good fight against studio mistreatment of minority actors and had history of financially supporting struggling performers. Pat Morita's account of Redd generosity following seems to bear this out.
Sad, RIP.......
From the cast of Sanford and Son, I think the only surviving member is Hal Williams who played the police officer.....

That was my memory as well. I can't remember him ever saying anything complimentary about Redd, or anyone else on the show. Neither can I remember anyone from the show ever saying anything complimentary about him.
