There was a break between 3&4 and also 5&6.

There has also been a year between the last season and the new season, so its going into it's 7th year this year.

I'm very grateful for your update, and very saddened at once. I wanted to watch 2 more seasons before 7 comes out in like 2 years.

Oh well, very excited about the Seinfeld cast. It's going to be awesome. I was kind of sad to see Cheryl Hines leave the show. I mean, I don't like her at all as a person, but I think she's magnificent in that role. She really knows how to get mad at Larry, her and Susie Essman, too, lol.

I enjoy Weeds, Futurama, and Law And Order SVU.

Sanford and Son was the American equivalent of my favourite sit com of all time 'Steptoe and Son'. I don't think I could bear to see what they did with the show

It finished here in 1974 and I think your version was not long after that?

Sanford and Son started in January 1972 and finished up in 1977.

Well that's is an interesting little bit of info. I'll have to go to youtube and see if I can dig one up and watch it. Looks like your version was the original, it was made way before Sanford and Son.

Yeah Sanford & Son was definitely the remake of the original. I never saw it though so I can't compare the two, but usually American remakes of British sitcoms completely fail which may say something for the quality of this one.

First Steptoe and Son episode was in 1962. It's remarkable propensity for pathos still puts it head and shoulders above sitcoms still now. A remarkable sit com. I can and have sat and watched episode after episode.

Though I don't have any cable, I rent Arrested Development and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Oh, and random clips of Mr. Show is pretty nurturing for my brain.
