Norman, is That You?
Yep...back to actual reviews. This 1976 classic stars Redd Foxx, Pearl Baily and a really young Michael Warren as the son reluctant to come out of the closet for a man who spent years calling poor Lamont Sanford a dummy...but he got the ladies.
Another one they never show on the Black stations but here is a spoiler alert that would definitely need editing.
Waylon Flowers and Madame (yep, the puppet from Solid Gold) have a cameo where Ms. M comes out in blackface and sings in "jive".
It was funny but then again, I've never been a PC person.
This movie was also inspiration for the Sanford and Son episode where Lamont and Rollo visit a gay bar. Enjoy!
