Character
Fred Sanford
Fred Sanford is nobody's fool. He's the owner of a junkyard that he runs with his son, Lamont. Fred is full of get-rich-quick schemes and often meddles in the affairs of his son. One of his favorite manipulative maneuvers is to fake a heart attack whenever things aren't going his way, calling out to his dead wife, "I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth," whenever he feels it will help his cause.
