[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 410626, member: 5079"] SANFORD & SON is the most obvious and egregious. I think like 90% of that show's humor was Fred insulting people. And just like on MTM, I think sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Fred and Esther exchanging insults was funny because they were equals, but all too often it was just Redd Foxx brutalizing some poor actor over their physical appearance. I recall sweet Nancy Kulp having to just stand there and smile as she was repeatedly called "ugly". [/QUOTE]
