Sanford and Son is a classic 1970s television sitcom that centers on Fred Sanford, a cantankerous, widowed Black junk dealer, and his frustrated son, Lamont, who jointly operate a family salvage business in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Developed by Norman Lear as an American adaptation of the British series Steptoe and Son, the show thrives on the comedic friction between Fred's lazy, get-rich-quick scheming and Lamont's desire to modernize the business or escape his father's shadow. The series is highly memorable for its recurring gags, particularly Fred faking dramatic heart attacks to guilt-trip his son—famously shouting, "This is the big one, Elizabeth!"—as well as his frequent, insult-laden bickering with his deeply religious sister-in-law, Aunt Esther.
