This is a 1970's Sitcom I never had a chance to watch and hopefully one day I can see it

CHICO AND THE MAN........1974

It's not on DVD, it's not on Cable, it's not on Digital TV, or on Youtube

Damm, I want to sample this show so bad and want to see what made it a hit

I watched it all the time as a kid. The old man that owned the garage (Jack Albertson) was the perfect guy to play that role and Freddie Prinze was the perfect comic foil to the crotchety old man that did have a soft side to him. It was a really great show.

I remember thinking it was a Sanford and Son copy
 
One trick pony

Freddy Prinze and Jack Albertson had good chemistry at first but the same old bits got tiresome
 
Oh yeah! The Jeffersons was a spinoff of All In The Family where George Jefferson moves out of the old neighborhood where Archie Bunker lives. His dry cleaning business does well enough that he moves his family to the "Deluxe apartment in the sky". That's where that song comes from "Movin On Up". Anyway here is a link to a Chico and The Man show I found

A good show that we watched every week.

My favorite was Sanford and Son every Friday, never missed it.
"So our payment plan Mr. Sanford is C.O.D."
"C.O.D. what's that?"
"Cash on delivery".
"Well now that's a good plan, but try my plan, H.I.D."
"What's H.I.D.?"
"Have it in December"
