About Norman and the "Watchbear"
After a nasty spat which causes the Sanford and Son partnership between Fred and Lamont to split up. Fred hires Norman to replace Lamont, who, on a referral from the state unemployment agency, begins work with a competing junk dealer who lives down the street from Fred and Lamont, Mr. Baxtrum, while still living in the Sanford home. However, when things doesn't go smoothly with Fred, who is left all day and evening wondering where the somewhat dim-witted, but brawny Norman, who, when asked by Fred if he "knows anything about trucks", boasts that he can :take an entire truck apart in minutes", returns after being gone all day. He later returns with a stuffed bear, which he called a "Watch Bear"! When Norman finally returns with the bear he bought, Fred threatens him, charging him "There you are with 200 lbs. of brawn, and an ounce of brain! Man, if you don't get me back my money you spent for that bear, I'm gonna take this crowbar (which he had in hand) and peel your head! "
