Editorial Review:
Guest stars and more guest stars seem to be the theme of Sanford and Son's very funny fifth season (1975-1976). The 25 episodes feature a parade of celebrities supporting stars Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson in guest and recurring roles, including John Larroquette and Robert Guillaume in Steinberg and Son, a TV sitcom based on Fred and Lamont's life; Marlene Clark as Lamont's girlfriend June; Nancy (The Beverly Hillbillies) as Officer Hoppy's overprotective mom; and George Foreman, Merv Griffin, Steve Lawrence, and Eydie Gorme as themselves. The other addition to the series comes with the introduction of the Sanford Arms, a apartment built on former neighbor Julio's place, and which comes complete with a host of eccentric guests (the hotel, along with Sanford stars LaWanda Page and Don Bexley, would be the focus of its own short-lived sitcom following Sanford and Son's cancellation in 1977).
Otherwise, it's business as usual at Fred and Lamont's junkyard, with the pair getting involved in bank robberies, earthquakes, and escort services, while still finding time to go camping (in the season finale, written by Garry Shandling). The sheer amount of laughs offered by season 5 was a strong reminder of why the show had remained so popular for four seasons; unfortunately, time slot changes and the disinterest of both leads would spell the show's demise only one season later. As with the other Sanford sets, the fifth season box contains no supplemental features. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Still love them
Get the whole series ( 6 seasons ), the price is right, and when some worthless network programming is not worth watching tonight, load up Sanford and Son for some good laughs.
Rating: - Truely a great classic
you just cannot go wrong with a purchase like Sanford and Son 5th season. In fact all of the Sanford and Son's seasons are truly great classics. I now own all of the Sanford and Son's seasons and recommend it to anyone for some great comedy. The characters Fred , Lamont, Aunt Esther, Grady and Rollo will get you some bellyful of laughs each time you see the episodes. Each time you view it you always see something else to laugh at. I just would like to get a Season of the spinoff called Sandford now. ... Read More

Rating: - My Name Is Fred G. Sanford And This Here Is U.G. Lee
The quotes from this 5-star series are endless. The title of this review is a lonely sample of the hilarious zingers that Fred (Redd Foxx) would make in reference to Aunt ("watch it sucker!") Esther.
Laughs abound in these wonderfully crafted episodes that covered all issues from family values to cultural difference and made great fun of every subject.
Sanford and Son was way ahead of its time for a 1972 debut. Creator Norman Lear (The Jeffersons, Good Times and more) had a ... Read More
