Antenna TV Celebrates Father’s Day with a 24 Hour Sanford & Son Marathon Featuring TV’s Crankiest Dad

NEW YORK, NY — [May 19, 2026] — This Father’s Day, Antenna TV is celebrating the dads who worked hard, paid the bills, put a roof over everyone’s head — and never let their kids forget it. On Sunday, June 21, Antenna TV will air Sanford & Son…Father’s Day at the Junkyard, a special marathon of the classic sitcom featuring the unforgettable father-son duo Fred and Lamont Sanford.

Starring comedy legend Redd Foxx as the loud, lovable junk dealer Fred Sanford and Demond Wilson as his quick-witted son Lamont, the 1970s classic comedy delivered nonstop laughs through sarcastic battles, outrageous schemes, and Fred’s legendary fake heart attacks — often triggered whenever his sharp-tongued sister-in-law Esther, played by LaWanda Page, stopped by for a visit.

Set in a Los Angeles junkyard and Fred’s worn-out living room, Sanford and Son remains one of television’s most beloved sitcoms thanks to its sharp humor, unforgettable catchphrases, and hilariously dysfunctional family hijinks.

Tune in to Antenna TV on Sunday, June 21, starting at 6:00 AM ET for the Sanford & Son Father’s Day Marathon.
