Christopher Rydberg

A classic rebuilt from the DNA of Steptoe & Son delivering relatable working class heroes striving for a better life and fighting about it.

My dad loved it, but it just wasn't up my alley with its type of humor. Sanford is annoying and frustrating.

My dad loved this show and I couldn't stand it. Sanford got on my last nerve. A classic, but not one I enjoyed.

Classic family comedy. Why haven’t you watched it yet “you big dummy”

A true classic about the African American experience

Grumpy old man runs junk shop. Goofy sexist jokes. Orneriness, Kooky characters. Take a break from Downton Abbey & GOT. Have some fun!

I LOVED watching this with my mom & grandma! A kinda dumb but hilarious & iconic sitcom with memorable bits. Definitely worth giving a try!

Don’t be a big dummy! Give this show a chance.

The best family sitcom in the 70's by a long shot. Never have I seen a show with just 2 main characters and have it be this good and last.

Good ol classic comedic sitcom. Used to watch reruns with my grandparents.
