Sanford and Son: The Complete Series (Slim Packaging)

I loved this show as a kid and still love them. Here you get all 136 episodes! The packaging could be better but it’s adequate considering there are 17 discs. They are stacked on top of each other on a single spindle. I guess they did this to cut down on the packaging cost? Unless you’re vigorously shaking the package the discs should be ok and not get scratched. Overall a great deal at this price point. The back of the box says “Remastered in High Definition”However, these are not in HD as DVD’s can only produce a resolution of 480p. The picture quality is the same as you see them on TV. I highly recommend this DVD collection.

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!

Anyone who likes Sanford and son I would recommend to purchase great bye my actually my second set that I’ve owned first set was purchased at a store. Love the series a must have classic.

Happy with purchase

I am excited to have this on DVD finally. The packaging is ok, but not perfect. Yu basically get a box that has a plastic tray with a huge spindle to hold all of the DVDs in a stack. Not perfect. But the tray is done way better than most I have seen and I haven't had any issues yet with scratches. I am not going to go on much about the actual show. I'm sure by now everyone knows what it is about and how hilarious Foxx is. The show has some of the best actors from its time and everyone was in sync. It reminds me of simpler times when political correctness didn't stifle free speech or fun. There is a lot of inappropriate humor in this show. But it's funny. There is no real animosity here, so even the arguments/fights come off the way they intended; to make you laugh and to think at the same time. When people listen to each other and can joke around with each other and not have to worry about offending each other over little things, then we all get along better. By joking about racism or other bigotry it points out just how ridiculous racism and stereotypes really are, but it does so in a way that makes you laugh at the same time. No one is forcing anything down your throat, they simply show you things and allow you to make up your own mind. More times you will find yourself laughing and learning along the way. But as long as the laughs keep coming, we all keep coming back.

This was a Christmas present for my Auntie and although it is nice to get this set at such an affordable price, I felt compelled to purchase DVD cases for this set when I found out that they come stacked on top of each other in a cheap plastic spindle. I got a decent deal on cases so I wasn't super upset but that definitely made me do a double take so if anyone decides to purchase this set, know that you likely would want to do the same.
