Presumably the reasoning was that the idea behind the show would travel well, but the actual show itself would not.

I have to say that I think darryl is spot on. I've seen a couple of episodes of Sanford and Son and thought that it was just awful. I loved Steptoe though and I'm pretty sure that's because I'm British and Jon's American.
