Sanford and Son had two references on two different episodes:

Lamont made a direct reference to the scene in the Godfather when Michael got hit by the thunderbolt.

In another episode, Fred was going to make an offer no one could refuse... with his fists.

That's a true story.

I have been blessed and I feel like I've found my way. I thank God for all I've been given at the end of every day. -- Martina McBride
