I watched Sanford and Son when I was little. All in the Family and The Jeffersons too. Archie Bunker and George Jefferson would get into arguments you can't air on TV these days.

Lawanda Paige was beautiful as well when she was young.
You can't get away with the insults between Fred and Ester on modern day TV.

Australia has a panel show about advertising called The Gruen Transfer - like me, most Redditors will probably know it for this advert that one of the teams produced.

He actually had a heart attack on set when he passed. People thought to was a comical bit, but it really was the big one Elizabeth. True story

I didn’t previously know this but as soon as I read your comment my first thought was, “Of course it was”! He produced so many iconic songs of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

The real question is who’s been 60 longer? Him or Patrick Stewart?

Yup! And actually pretty scary in some parts. Turns out an IKEA is a great setting for a twist on a classic haunted house story.
