❤❤❤❤❤
I Loved The Kingfish, Andy, Sapphire, Mama and the Cab Fellow!! Life was miserable but when The Kingfish came on I would turn on the TV and it gave me laughter and sanity! May they rest in eternal peace!! 🌺🌺🌺
I watched this as a child with my grandparents. I thought is was the funniest show on TV. I remembered it to this day. Thanks for showing.
I remember this show from when I was a little boy. They don't make great , clean T.V. shows like this any more. I still remember all the characters names.
The dude who owns the antique shop is Sonny Woods who was a great and popular singer in the 30s-50s. He was the singer in Louis Armstrongs orchestra in the 40s.
Loved this show! ❤ remember watching this show. I loved the show and the cast of Kingfish, Amos and Andy.
🎥I am a big fan of this show - thank you so much for this!🙂💯💥👍!
My dad loved this show when I was a kid.
This show was so funny! I grew up watchin' it when it went into syndication in the early 60's. Never missed it!
My all-time favorite TV show. Brilliant writing, spectacular acting. Been watching since its original broadcast in the early 50s. Even had the entire show library on VCR back in the 90s.
My family loved Amos N Andy. One of the best series ever.
Watched this show with grandparent's. We loved it.
I'm 77 yrs. old, and can still remember listening to Amos 'n' Andy on the radio late at night with my brother when we were supposed to be going to sleep! I doubt that we ever missed a TV episode. This was humor at its best.
As a radio show Amos n Andy was so popular some movie theaters would stop the movie and pipe the show through the sound system to keep the people from going home. Arguably the most popular show in history.
I'M SEVENTY-FOUR....I GREW UP LOOKING AT AMOS AND ANDY
I remember watching this show in the 1950’s with my Mother. She would always laugh at their antics.
The Kingfish receiving 25 cents . . . back then that could buy a gallon of gasoline.
2 gallons of gas
Ooooooo... WHAT IS I GONNA DO???

I like those old shows
Thank you.
You’ve got one of the best channels on RUclips. Some priceless uploads.
Thank you ! ❤️
I'm a big fan!!
I loved this show and I wish they had Song of The South on DVD too, they would sell millions, loved Uncle Remus and the wonderful stories.
I loved Song of the South! I remember it on the Disney show. “ Dippidy doo da dippidy day, my oh my what a wonderful day ❤
Grew up in grade school listing to uncle Remus. Read all of his books. Lots more interesting than they start kids reading today
I'm 74 year old. My mama enjoyed Amos&Andy while my daddy was on 2nd shift. My daddy was racist. I remember mama laughing at these episodes. I was 1 1/2 or else 2 year old. Even then, I was amused with Amos & Andy. And I love these good Ole black folks today. My black brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters today!❤❤❤😂😂😂😢😮❤❤❤
Love this!!!!!
My dad still says to this very day that the show should have been The Kingfish & Andy Show 😂😂
I watched these as a white kid and was fascinated by the dialects and gestures. Today it still holds my interest for the acting and seems no more offfesive than The Honeymooners.
It was real clean fun
Upload more episodes of the amos and andy show please
I grew up on this.
✊🏿Again, all I see is some more of our 👑 people making good out of a bad situation…⛓️🧠⛓️
This brings joy to me like nothing else could possibly make happen....comedy at its best
I love this show, so I love these people.
Yes it was almost like visiting with family friends.
Yes, we loved them as family. I remember when they first came on TV, back around 1951/52.
My parents were fans of this show. I got hip to this sitcom in 1987 when my brother rented a VHS tape from a video rental store. This show should have never been forced to be canceled by the NAACP, accusing this show of stereotyping Blacks.
They got em sounded illiterate
@Chasingtails24 If that's the case, the Three Stooges should have been canceled after one season.
Yeah, it's sad to stereotype blacks as productive businessmen. It's better to portray them as gangsters and hoes.
SMH
OOOOOOO.... HOLY SMOKES... WHAT IS I GONNA DO???
Only thing the NAACP did was put Andy out of work.
This was better than the awful sitcoms on TV today!
That used to be my favorite show when I was a kid.
Great comedy!
Please post more shows
As a little kid in the 50's I loved Amos 'n' Andy shows. Great comedy.
Way funnier than Sanford and Son. These actors had real talent. We laughed with the Kingfish, Andy, Amos, Lightning, and Alconquin J. Calhoun. Genuine talent.
Both shows were a Homage to idiots, bootlickers, lackeys, and fools.
@@RichardByrd-rx7xt Please get a life.
@@gregm6894 Is that the best response you can come up with? Being offended by the glorification of outmoded racist stereotypes has nothing to do with getting a life. It’s called analyzing what you read, and how it impacted the lives of a people lmGET A BRAIN!!!!! You are the reason inbreeding is illegal.
I loved amos and andy🎉😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊
Ive the video Blacks had a fit in the 60s things have come full circle
If I remember correctly, this was on radio originally. Just as good on TV!!
Loved that show 🥰💯
I watched Amos & Andy in 1952 when I was a little girl. Loved the program & the way he said Sapphire
If you don't get bent out of shape about the Beverly Hillbillies... don't get bent out of shape over Amos and Andy!! This show was BEYOND great!
There is a fundamental difference between. The racism experienced by African Americans was supported by by these shows which reinforced racist stereotypes. While the Beverly Hillbillies was acknowledged as a fictional comedy show, this show and other racist tropes (see Birth of a Nation, Good Times, and The Jeffersons), were considered to be accurate portrayals of African-Americans in real light. Furthermore, racism and the dehumanization experienced by blacks around the world, is not a laughing matter.
@@RichardByrd-rx7xt that sir, is a LIE! There are countless episodes of Amos and Andy that show black judges, doctors, business owners etc whom were well spoken and did not display the same antics as Kingfish, Andy, Calhoun and Lightning.
@@RichardByrd-rx7xt Then don't watch it. Are you being forced to watch it? Like the Black stand-up comedian said, "Don't go to a comedy show if you are sensitive about being offended and don't go into a library if you don't like books."
@@dennisminer7436 That’s mighty white of you. Your simplicity prohibits you from realizing the ramifications of this show. How old were you when this show aired? You think reducing racism to a malt liquor show is par for the course. You are not qualified to dictate to black people what should and shouldn’t offend them,mor how they should react. Your library analysis exemplifies your ignorance. A library has a plethora of information. This show was but one of many on television and in the movies, which held African-Americans up for ridicule. The problem with Amos ‘n’ Andy was this was the only way African-Americans were portrayed for the most part. Regarding your nameless black comedian, he is, once again, a part of a vast array of black comedians, who have a variety of styles and points of views, to reiterate, during the time of Amos and Andy, one did not see a variety of African-Americans in different types of roles. You, not being black, and totally ignorant of what it means, should take heed to that old saying: better to keep your mouth closed and let everyone think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
That boat done sailed my friend✌🏻🙂
I thought it was funny when I was a kid and I still think it's funny.
I remember watching this TV series during the 1950s.
With friends like King Fish you don’t need enemies
These were absolutely hilarious. In the early '60's our black maid would watch them with us children and laugh. In those days, it was practically the only time she - or anyone for that matter - could see a black person in an acting position, except if they were playing a maid, waiter, porter, or shoeshine boy! 🤣😉
love this show
Good clean comedy. This is quality family entertainment. It's far superior to new productions on television in 2024😊
Classic amos n andy❤
This was one of my favorite tv shows.
It was so sad that the NAACP pressured the network to cancel the show due to what they said was racial stereotyping.
The thing the naacp missed was that this show employed hundreds of Black actors and trade people and the showed depicted Blacks in all sorts of careers, Doctors, Lawyers, Police, and not just stereotypes.
The script writing! When all the knocks were going at the same time ...!! Calhoun is my fave character!! Such a game little guy!
"This came off the collar of the coronation gown of the Czarina of Sweden".
"Cultured, if that pearl could speak, it wouldn't speak to either of us".
"In the future, instead of putting the turkey in the stove, they're gonna put the stove in the turkey".
"First, the atom splits into what they call a monocle. Then the monocle busts and breaks down into what they call protons, neutrons, fig newtons and morons".
The Kingfish had the best ways of describing things when trying to scam somebody.
I love it. Just as good as in the 50's.
not the stove in the turkey 😂😂😂
Kingfish is close to predicting the MicroWave oven.
Wow- I *barely* remember this; I was so little when it was originally on. I just remember that Kingfish was probably the *original* a B.S. artist and a schemer who gets hilariously caught in his own schemes.
As a kid I loved this show . There is not anyway in the world this could pass today .
THIS SHOW WAS GD PURE 🪙🪙🪙...
Hey Mike, I have seen you post in a while. I hope youre on a nice long vacation getting refreshed. Be well. Thanks for all that you do!
A great show.
Baltimo 😂
I know this is often called racist but as I child I fell in love with these characters. I think most Americans love the richness Blacks have brought to our culture. I know I do.
The kingfish stevens was close about the future😺
K.F. IS GD PRICELESS.😂😂😂
Being a baby Boomer I used to sit on my grandma stairs How to listen to this on the radio along with Long ranger I'm the shadow
My "Hero" George Kingfish Stevens
Scammers in every generation.🤔
Oh, and Sapphire and her Mother!
Hello 👋 I'm not sure, if can on your channel. But if you can, will you put out a video About Project 2025? Our people who don't know about this needs to know. 🙏 only if you can. Have a wonderful 4th of July
I wqtched this as a kid, 70 yrs ago.
Even back then, people were easily offended by nothing, and the show was cancelled.
This show no more stereotypes blacks then Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, or the Three Stooges stereo types whites. Funny is funny and clever writing is what we want and rarely get.
Looks like a short Willie Dixon.
Wasn’t there a cartoon of Amos and Andy also? I had two cats named Amos and Andy.
Calvin And The Colonel produced by the men who produced Leave It To Beaver . Who also were writers for Gosden and Correll on the Amos & Andy TV show. Their old bosses did the voices but it was drawn with animals to avoid trouble .
also can you find viva la france with full and people clapping at the beginning and at the end
the game the documentary dvd got blocked ?
These guys are co--razy😂
KF COULD SELL A MAN ON 🔥. MATCHES.
Eminem used this in tobey maguire
I think it’s interesting that the only people who miss this show are white. Huh.
I doubt seriously that your statement is correct. And by the way, I'm white and I miss the Marx Brothers and I Love Lucy too -- wow, how can that be? Could it possibly be that good humor isn't based on color?
@@gregm6894 not in those cases. I don’t recall I love Lucy or the Marx Bros having any black actors. Humor is based on a lot of things including tragedy, disaster, bankruptcy, divorce…and, in the case of Amos and Andy, a show based on a radio show where Amos and Andy were acted by two white (of course) actors, shukin’ and jiv’n, race.
@@Lpreilly72 Well, I can see that the point of my comment went right over your head -- not surprising. People like you assign the behavior of the characters in Amos 'n' Andy to all black people, whereas people like me don't assign that behavior to race at all -- it was simply funny situational comedy -- just like Gilligan's Island, the Marx Bros., etc.. does not apply to all white people. People like you simply want to keep racial division alive and well.
@@gregm6894 “people like me” and…the NAACP at the time!😯
@@gregm6894 I'm white too and this was not only my favorite comedy radio show but also my favorite TV show. "I Love Lucy" was second and "My Three Sons" was third. This was comedy at its best!
Context: the original Amos &Andy was done exclusively by whites on stage in blackface in local Chicago theater and contained every negative stereotype you could think of. The radio show was also over-the-top racist done by 2 white actors/writers shukin’ and jiv’n. And black people hated it. So when they announced the “new” Amos & Andy tv show IN THE FIFTIES when white racism was open, hostile, deadly, the NAACP was predictably and understandably not happy. The accents were also over the top. Kingfish-please. “Ooo, yes Suh Calhoun!” You have to excuse a stage actor overdoing it with no experience acting on tv in its early days…but the writing! Jesus. I saw the disparity in reaction in 1968 when the tv show was shown at Loyola Marymount University in St. Robert’s Hall. I remember this clearly. Whites thought it was hilarious comedy. I thought it was hilarious comedy. And it was funny (the tv show, I mean). Well acted. A hit. Black people in the audience hated it. I watched it broadcast live in the Fifties on a black & white (no pun intended) television at my grandparents house. My grandparents, in the 50s were Southern, very racist, pro-segregation (my Christmas present from my grandmother when I was ten was a book called “Segregation and You” published by the White Citizens Council), hated black people, and they loved Amos & Andy and watched it every week. Didn’t affect their attitudes towards blacks though.
IMO it was a good show, but it was trying to rewrite the older, racist history of Amos & Andy into something better at a very bad time. The fifties were a period of change. The history of the song “Putin’ on the Ritz” is another one.
totally incorrect
Totally incorrect? Not even maybe 5% right? What about my stories about my upbringing? Totally incorrect?
Wow. That’s harsh! 😮
Or maybe you just exaggerated a little bit.
Holy Hakel... WHAT IS I GONNA DO???
Hell, I have cousins in the South and they talked liked this and I’m white! This show made me laugh because it was well written and the characters played by great actors.
@Lpreilly72 incorrect in your historical knowledge of the show. Original radio cast was a mix of white and black actors.
No good
This was a very bad sitcom....and should never be shown at all. Ever.
It’s a wrap Mike. President Harris has arrived. Breaking: Trump Barred From Commanding the United States Air Force. GOP Told, “Pick SomeBody Else!”. 😆👏👏👏👏Yessaah!!!
not sure where you saw this. not seeing it on CNN or Twitter.
@@reelblack ..🤲👏👏👏👏
@@reelblack It's fake. He's just being racist.
Please sober up.
Holy Makrel... ooooooooaaa she fell outta coconut tree
That show was great, funny as all hell. Too bad it was pulled from the dvd and disk market.🤷♂️⚡️
Trumps vision of making America great
