I feel so immersed in the 70s

I got introduced to Sanford and Son through reruns.
I find it's aged a lot better than the preachy pinko meathead mess of its sister show, All in the Family.
And Sanford and Son never pretended "we are equal to or greater than you," as far as I'm aware.
There was a reason the family was stuck running a junkyard--Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) was not a good person.
Yeah All in the Family was just propaganda. I do like Sanford and Son. You're right, every time Fred had an opportunity to move on to better things he'd screw it up with greed. It was in general just a sitcom though. All in the Family was subversion.
Arguably the only sympathetic character was the one White cop just doing his job.
