When I was a kid I looked forward to the show every week. I just loved them. They were so funny and great acting how Kingfish was always scheming Andy.
They bridged the racial gap at a time that was needed most. Andy played a successful businessman, Andy played a dopie, clumsy lady's man. Satire, and her mother, homemakers Algonquin J Calhoun the typical loud mouthed lawyer (full of himself). The NAACP put these "actors" out of business, for the good of "all black people". So silly. They were great and successful in their own right.
One of the most vivid memories from my childhood was during the cold months of winter in the 1950's. It got dark early, and right after dinner I'd turn on the TV to hear the haunting sound of the Amos and Andy theme song, Angels Serenade. Hearing it again now brings back so many memories...it seems like only yesterday, when I was young.
@ Hawkeye 59. Hello, I'm glad to hear that you have such wonderful memories of those days. We got our first TV in 1951 when I was 10 years old. The TV was a black and white one but it had a plastic sheet behind screen. The top 1/3 was blue for the sky, the middle 1/3 was yellowish and the bottom 1/3 was green for the grass. It didn't do much for indoor scenes but for the outdoor scenes it gave some color to them. I don't really remember seeing Amos 'n' Andy on TV then but since I discovered them now about a year and a half ago I have made up for that time as I have watched all the episodes multiple times. Anyway, the 50's were a wonderful decade to grow up in.
It was a gift Amos n Andy had to make the world see the humor in life through all the shenanigans there was an answer which made us relate, smile, and laugh at ourselves. Compared to what is going on in the world today, Amos n Andy videos remind me to remember these were the best of times. Thank you for sharing these films.

I laughed till I thought I was going to pass out this is one of the most funny series I’ve ever seen as such talented actors this series is really a treat I can watch this and it just seems to relax me this series is almost like a sedative I love every single one of them..They are all great but that king fish the way he slobbers the English language is absolutely hilarious I laughed till my side hurts..😝😝😝😝
@Carl Pyper well, he had many, many years of practice and God given talent. He also had morals and character to go along with it. The Kingfish is my favorite. Yes, Tim Moore had over 50 years of performing and doing just about everything else in his field of work. And that was before he was coaxed out of retirement to come be The Kingfish. SMILE!!!!
@Carl Pyper Hello, The writers were great and wonderful. Tim Moore reworked some of the scripts. The actors fit perfectly in their roles. And, I think, they loved what they were doing. And take a trip to Niagara falls if you can. It is an unforgettable experience.
How this entire cast has been forgotten and tossed aside, never to be inducted into any hall of fame or awards given due to the great NAACP...great going.
Waltencir Oliveira,. Hello, Most of your videos seem to be so much better than most of the others. Especially as to sharpness and brightness. I would like to purchase a set of these if you would tell me how I could do that. Thank you very much for your help.
Christina just brought me my dinner, coffee . Chicken fajitas and rice, tomatoes, onions and green peppers. And green melon. And fish sticks. Hope I can get some more rice, etc.
Someone mentioned the trouble makers stepped in and had the show canceled and they were right.I loved the show best on tv at the time they made everyone laugh so hard and there is nothing better for your sole.It’s a shame they should have all ended up millionaires not broke.The same people are around today trying to make everyone miserable like them.It’s a shame we could have had many more shows to laugh at.
This show was on T V ,, when i was a kid it was in the Morning about 9 or 10 am love this great show . I had to go to school and my mother was scramming you're going to be late for school .
Wonderful and entertaining! And to think the blacks themselves had this program Blackballed from TV, because they didn't want whitey laughing at them! Sure as hell a lot better than Redd Foxx or Richard Pryor or ...whoever they have now!
@Charles Brooks There are many, many newspaper articles about Tim Moore. One is titled "Down Memory Lane" There was a reporter that wrote for Tim Moore's hometown newspaper called the Rock Island Argus by the name of George Wickstrom. He wrote articles about Tim Moore and there are quotes in these articles. A Google search will also bring up many suggestions. Do you have a particular area of interest for Tim Moore?
One of the best shows ever to be on tv talent and great writers
Brings back so many great memories. Great talent and real actors that did not need every video trick to make a movie.
On
I Just Cant Stop Watching this Show..I had Heard about the Show, But it was All Negative. But I Don't See Nothing Bad about it..
They are so Spot On Funny and as a Team of Actors!😎😂🤣😃😄😅😀
Saw this as hilariously funny as a child. Too bad it cannot be enjoyed today for the comedic talent of these great actors.
why not ?
You moron. It was to the detriment of black people.

@@thomaslindsey7685 The only racist are blacks they continue to stir the pot when there is no reason for it.

I never knew the name of the theme song. Thank you!

Funniest show on TV, when I was coming up, I watched Amos and andy, sea hunt, and Highway patrol every afternoon in the 50's and 60's

The characters are likable and very funny within the comedy context.
I love it when they got back from the movie and Mama said. "That's the worst popcorn I done ever had!".

I was always so proud of Amos and Andy. It made me proud to be black❤😂🎉
This is one of the few episodes where Kingfish doesn't get his comeuppance at the end .
I haven't laughed this much in twenty or thirty years. I can hardly breathe.
This seems to me to be along the line of
Sanford ans Son, The Jeffersons, All in
the Family and The Honeymooners.

The best laughs of my life time!
I absolutely LOVE Calhoun! He is hilarious!
“THE BEST”... actors & writers ‼️ REAL TALENT
Don’t they write for leave it to Braver or the Munsters?
Damn comparing this to sitcoms after this, I don't see anything wrong with this series. Great cast!!!!
I can't see it either.. With all the blacks shows we have now blacks are still being made fun of..I love this show!
Funny, and without cuss words or sex talk.
The best show on tv
A rare episode where Kingfish comes out on top! Such brilliant writing and performances. This show was light years ahead of its time.

I like Sapphire best.
Talk about Funny, you will be on the FlooR with Laughter!😅😆😄😃🤣😂😊😉

NBC caved and removed the show from syndication in 1966. To hell with the NAACP.

“Back N tha Day”...You’ve come a long way, Baby..!
This was one of the best tv shows. funny clean but the then came the trouble makers but if you want to laugh just watch the show
Tim Moore was a funny guy. His funeral was a who's who of Hollywood.
"Good day. Wees from the Gallup Poll. Ahm Mr. Gallup and dis is Mr. Poll"

NAACP had them shut down😢
The radio show and comics were irredeemably offensive. But the show and the actors were amazing. Tim Moore was a comedic genius
I love kingfish always trying to get something for nothing
This show was on T V ,, when i was a kid it was in the Morning about 9 or 10 am love this great show . I had to go to school and my mother was scramming you're going to be late for school .
Sapphire got back
The Piggy: A particularly excellent show!
Good for the Fish..
I love Lucy was good but they were out classed in acting and comedy,i am saying that and i am a white southerner born in 1950.I love these people
the most surreal scene in A&A is at 12:01, the winking pig. nothing like that in any of the episodes.
2nd episode is called Hospitalization not the Superfine Brush.
🌕🌕🌕🌕. He has a nice wife. She is cute.
Wonderful and entertaining! And to think the blacks themselves had this program Blackballed from TV, because they didn't want whitey laughing at them! Sure as hell a lot better than Redd Foxx or Richard Pryor or ...whoever they have now!
they call me the chosen one I lovelking fish love you Tim f9tever

Amos and Andy World Series episode
Please excuse my protrusion. Keeper! Said in another video.
13:17. LOL!!!!!!
16:55 is Rolly from “Amen”
It would be nic eif you could clean up the sound on this and remove all the static and hissing.
Does anyone know where i can see an inter view of tim moore,of amos and andy fame?
charles brooks, I haven't been able to find much on Tim Moore, other than an a couple of old news paper articles on the Internet.
@Charles Brooks
There are many, many newspaper articles about Tim Moore. One is titled "Down Memory Lane"
There was a reporter that wrote for Tim Moore's hometown newspaper called the Rock Island Argus by the name of George Wickstrom. He wrote articles about Tim Moore and there are quotes in these articles.
A Google search will also bring up many suggestions.
Do you have a particular area of interest for Tim Moore?
You got the name wrong on episode 14. This has nothing to do with Superfine Brush, which is episode 42.
id iz ray cist?

Sounds like a democtat
What a blurry load of crap. There is much better quality of Amos n Andy available.
This is how Obama care started
