American television icon Fred G. Sanford, the crafty and manipulative junk man and antique dealer from South-Central Los Angeles, on the 1970s television show Sanford and Son, made buying and selling junk cool with a big laugh. Fred, played by funny man and long time stand-up comedian Redd Foxx, and his son Lamont, played by Demond Wilson, Highest Cash Paid!
entertained America from 1972 to 1977, with situation comedy based on a junk business where they bought junk and sold antiques. Fred, an over-thehill junk dealer, was happy with his little business and the marginal income it provided him. Lamont, on the other hand, was looking to better himself by getting out of the junk business and trying something more challenging and hopefully, more lucrative. Fred, whose wife, Elizabeth, had died some years before,

would do anything to keep his son from deserting him and the business. Every time Lamont threatened to leave, Fred would fake a heart attack and start moaning, "I'm coming, Elizabeth, I'm coming." Fred had a steady girlfriend in nurse Donna Harris, whom he was always promising to marry, and he was constantly at odds with Aunt Esther, his late wife's sister. Sanford and Son was based on the successful British TV comedy, Steptoe and Son.
