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 (the eighth episode aired in a Friday-night slot). 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.

Overview
Al Hughes, a New York City diner/newsstand owner, adopts a streetwise teenager named Toni. Diana worked with Al in the newsstand, and Jim-Jam owned a Chinese restaurant nearby. During the brief 13-episode run, the actor playing the character of Jim-Jam was replaced, the character Toni "disappeared", and in came Al's ex-wife Felicia and his foster son, Byron.
