Oddly enough, a day or two ago, I was watching on YouTube a compilation of 1982 TV intros (some immortal ones like Cheers and St. Elsewhere and others forgotten shortly after airing maybe a dozen episodes or so) and one interesting one was the black version of the “Odd Couple” with Ron Glass ( he of “Barney Miller” of course and RIP) and Demond Wilson (Lamont from “Sanford and Son”). Wonder if anyone here remembered that one?
I don’t recall that Odd Couple. Maybe it was a Summer replacement. Demond Wilson sort of dropped from being a high profile actor after Sanford and Son. He was perfect for that role at that time in our culture.
Demond is still alive, though.
There is a short YouTubevideo entitled; “Demond Wilson Arrives to Meet Donald Trump. Nov 28, 2016.
