My father and I used to watch The Flip Wilson Show, Sanford and Son, and Chico and the Man. Of the three, my mom only liked the Flip Wilson Show. We couldn’t stand All in the Family long enough to get through an episode. The theme song alone was just too screechy.
Flip Wilson was a funny man. I had an uncle who was an unabashed bigot, and even he appreciated Flip’s talent.
