Here is an episode per disc breakdown, plus brief summaries: There are no chapter stops within the episodes, and each one has a runtime of approximately 25 minutes.

There are a total of 24 episodes, spread over 3 DVDs. I enjoyed watching through these episodes, as you could really see the brilliance of Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford. 'Sanford and Son' is one of those shows I never had the opportunity of seeing, but I am more than familiar with it because of it's impact on pop culture. But because it's presented in a good, light-hearted way, we're able to laugh instead of shake our head at their attempts to shock us. Even by today's television standards, that episode pushes boundaries.

For instance, in my favorite episode in this set, Fred and Lamont get busted for participating in a pornographic film. The beauty about a show like 'Sanford and Son' is in the situations that Fred and Lamont are thrust into. Touting one of the first African-American casts on television, 'Sanford and Son' was an instant success and thrust Redd Foxx into the spotlight as one of the funniest men on television. Debuting in 1972, 'Sanford and Son' was a mid-season replacement about a father-and-son who own and operate a junk collection business from their home.
