The Redd Foxx Show
The Redd Foxx Show is an American television sitcom that premiered January 18, 1986, on ABC. The show was cancelled after 3 months, partly due to low ratings in its Saturday-night timeslot. Although the first two episodes brought in decent ratings, the show usually finished in the bottom ten for the week. A total of 13 episodes were made.
