Late night, flipping channels; looking for something to hold me over until Mad TV comes on…
News... No
Seinfeld… zzzzz
Spin City… not in this lifetime
Finally I come to rest on an old favorite
Sanford and Son.
For whatever reason, I don’t remember watching this show that much when I was a kid. I recall spending evenings in the living room with watching “Chico and the Man” (which was more or less the same thing) with my father every now and then...
I don’t know.. maybe in those days you just watched one or the other?
Anyways, we’re watching last night’s episode when basically out of nowhere Aunt Esther (of all people) drops the N word on a guy!
I mean, maybe it was the surprise of hearing such a thing on network television, or maybe it was just the fact that it seemed the most natural response for her character to have at that particular moment - but whatever the case...
I was laughing so hard I nearly snarfed.
