9/17/26 O&A NYC THE MORNING FUNNIES: Fred Calls In Aunt Esther for Backup – Sanford and Son (Redd Foxx, LaWanda Page)

Rattled and unsure how to fight off Big Money Grip’s claim, Fred (Redd Foxx) turns to Aunt Esther (LaWanda Page) for reinforcements, and for a moment it looks like even she might not be able to set things straight. 

But true to form, Esther comes through in exactly the chaotic, no-nonsense way only she can, backing Fred up and helping put the whole mess to rest. It’s a great showcase of the family loyalty underneath all the bickering that made Fred and Esther’s dynamic one of the show’s best.
