Ben and Khalil throw it back to the 1970s to talk about the TV shows they loved growing up – two of the greatest and most important sit-coms: Sanford & Son and The Jeffersons. They discuss how the shows handle race, class and comedy. And how the small screen and the world it reflects have changed since then. 

If you’d like to rewatch Sanford & Son or The Jeffersons, both are available on Amazon Prime Video.
