Noted for portraying characters older than his actual age, he was in his early 40s in the early 1970s when he first played the sexagenarian "Grady" on "Sandford & Son" -- a role that popularized the expression "Good Goobily Goop!" Nearly thirty years later his "Grady" role had just about caught up with him in terms of age and, in terms of Americana, had assumed something of a cult status. In 1996, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" hosted a tongue-in-cheek "Where's Grady" search for the actor who s

It is such an influential work; you can see its effect on many better known comedy shows retrospectively. It becomes a bit tired in the last 2 seasons, they are out of ammo; but they created some really iconic recurrent jokes (Elisabeth, I'm coming honey is my favourite). Redd Foxx's tricks are very subtle; like doing slapstick without slapstick (fake fighting trick). It is a playful show, full of energy. It was a joy to watch.

A bit repetitive but Foxx is so goofy and charming it works.
