    "Perfect"
    By TriviaDude, Nov 22, 2005 Report Abuse
    One of my favorite Sanford & Son episodes that featured Aunt Esther. It was a surprise that BB's lost love turned out to be Esther Winfield!

    When they (Woody & Esther) entered the house, Fred groaned & cried, "Oh no, just what I needed now. A wino & a rhino!"

    Esther replied her catch phrase, "Watch it sucker!"
