  • The Kingfish is at it again, this time he has slept through the night at the lodge and missed the dance, watch how he gets caught up in another funny situation. Enjoy this as any others I have because I'm just sharing what I have.

      THE GOLDEN AGE OF SEGREGATION 1928 - 1968!
      The characters made African-Americans look GOOD. All were law abbidding citizens in New York's Harlem's nearly segregated community. They supported each other and we're kind to White people and other racial groups.
      They were also intelligent business persons. Amos owned a Taxi Cab company and employed several Negroes, Andy was the sole-owner of real estate development empire. Calhoun was an attorney, and Lightning was the building maintenance supervisor. Kingfish was the Grand Potenate of the Mistic Knights of the Sea.
      The National Association for the advancement of Collerd People are directly responsible the being taken off the air. They (NAACP) protested the show; then boycotted the sponsors. CBS had to cancelled it while it was the Number one show on network television!

And as for the so called reason they pulled the plug on this tv series(it was said it portrayed blacks in a demeaning roles,) I say " That's Comedy". Look at Archie Bunker(All In The Family) or Married With Children's Al Bundy and many more. Someone has to look silly to make it funny.

      Fred Flintstone stupid they pulled the show. It was funny, entertaining and gave black actors a job portraying more than servants. The 1950's wasn't easy for black people

      The show got a bum rap though because it featured blacks across the entire spectrum. This episode was proof of that the judge, cop, and baliff were all black. This was a funny show.

      @jill scottman normal everyday life in comedy form who happen to be black. It takes real talent to make people laugh and sadly comedy is too political now. This was good clean family fun.

    it was a shame that political correctness put these fine people out of a job....Many white people watched this show and enjoyed the comedy with no hint of racism until some do-gooder liberals made a stink about it.
