There was an American Sit Com back in the 7o's that was the US version of our Steptoe & Son.
You may or may not know it...Sanford & Son, starring Redd Foxx & Demond Wilson. Plus A few of the scripts were written by the great Richard Pryor.
I have put a little taster for you to enjoy...
& if you really like it...here is the link to all the YT has to offer on Sanford & Son
Be well.
