These old shows of Amos an Andy is bringing me back to 61 years ago iam 66 now an every show i kind of remember, i could cry
My mother an daddy is deceased an i use to watched these shows with them when i was a lil girl. Thank you
I’ve been binge watching these all night .....especially for this period of time this is awesome 😎 I like King Fish
One word: Kingfish. Don't destroy the persona.
Even the baby was a good actor!
18:50 Isn't that Sidney Poitier's dad in Guess Whose Coming to Dinner
Yes That’s him. Roy A Glenn
@@englishcountryside4581 He's in quite a few episodes I've since noticed
Mr. Phillps is Rolly from "Amen"! Dr. Jester Hairston
As usual I thank you. I don't have much left now. Except my memories. I was blessed to have lived a part of the old days. And how we would grin among ourselves because white folk didn't know our coded communications. Like the cakewalk. White folk had no idea the meaning of the cakewalk. But we did. They never figured out that the guitar was our drums. Our ancestral means of communication. I watch your films and find escape from covid and social memes.
When I watch these films. I could tell when the white man had control of the script and the black actors had no say. This show had the black men unemployed, speaking bad english (uneducated), no money and the taxi man was black facing 🙄. Nevertheless they went through it to pave the way.

@@julianatenia-mccollin4833 I don’t think he was in black face. The TV show was filmed in black and white, the show needs to be digitally restored. The radio show was played by white men in blackface. The NAACP got the show canceled due to the stereotypes. I found the show funny, just like other blacks did and do. It’s just as funny as the Honeymooners, I Love Lucy and The Three Stooges. The problem was that Amos & Andy and Beulah, was the only shows that represented us. If television in the 50’s had more of a variety of our people there wouldn’t have been no problem. For example if Sanford and Son or the Flip Wilson Show came out in the 50’s it would have been canceled. It came along at the wrong time, when we was still fighting Jim Crow, KKK and Lynchings
I realized Kingfish was the inspiration of "Fred G Sandford" a while ago but in this episode it just came to me that Sapphire's mom inspired "Aunt Esther" LOL
And Andy inspired Bubba
If That Lil Boy Start Jumping On My Furniture And Playing That Loud Ass Horn Like He Ain't Had No Home Training.....
How come I never thought they were black when I was a white kid in the '50s? Just "my" TV family I loved!
Did the actress who played the wife play on Sanford and son as Fred's girl friend?
Wow, the year I was born, 1953 when the family was so important and love the premise of this one showing that our black men did put their kids 1st but lmbo
This remind me years ago, when I was young
Classic!!!
Good One!
Oh my goodness, that's Raleigh from AMEN!!!!
Laughing your a÷=as off does
not have a race,creed,color,
religion.. Just a gift from
God.
One gift people don't use much these days!!😀
Calhoun's voice and humor reminds me of David Alan Grier's work on In Living Color.
Look up Grier as: Rev. Leon Lonnie Love
Thank you Amos &Andy u are the best comedians U made my father smile so. Many nites
@@smoothoperator7023we want it
I just realized anything legitimate thing the kingfish tries to do it never goes well
WAS A FUNNY SHOW
I enjoyed this🤣
Calhoun is a hustler to
@18:50 Roy A Glenn from *Guess who’s coming to Dinner*
This was funny and innocent. But most of all I like the idea of it showing the black family in a two parent (Mom and Dad) atmosphere.
Too true for words. I am old enough (dob 21 FEB 1950) to remember stability in black families. Although I am white, I honestly feel that blacks were generally happier then. A black man I used to work with during the early 1970s (from Florida) told me that, although the South had been recently segregated, at least "one knew where he stood", unlike today where '"rights" are guaranteed, but oftentimes that promise is a mirage parodied through subliminal racism.
Truth be told, the black culture in the Amos 'n Andy series represented a stable environment, to the point that both whites and blacks in that scenario did not think that their respective environments were all that intrinsically different. Maybe so-called "advances" are merely demonstrations of political correctness which amount to little. - David Lyga david33x@yahoo.com

@16:16 Rolly from *Amen*
Will someone please put Imitation Of Life.....
Ask Comcast/Universal. Or buy it on blu ray
Why does he have a bugle?
Back then Kids liked to play musical instruments instead of Games on their Phone, it wasn't uncommon!
The man really has a bad hair cut
I wonder why Kingfish or Andy never had a job? Is it for the black man is lazy stereotype ?
Andy had investments
I enjoyed it.
I love Black Television but why do we have to be shown as ignorant?
Why don't they show Us Better?
We need our own Everything, especially Media.
But don't forget, while Kingfish was a schemer and Andy was a skirt-chaser, there were a lot of positive portrayals of blacks on this show especially for 1950's America. In this episode alone we had Mr. Henderson as a successful executive, a doctor, a nurse, and best of all there was Amos, a hard-working family man saying that his kids were the most important thing in his life. No matter what race or ethnic background, TV always had its share of "characters". I used to be embarrassed by Archie Bunker and his racist views, while an Asian -American friend of mine was irritated by his people always portrayed as "house-boys." I guess we all have our peeves about things, but I really think this show is a gem.
Thanks for your insight. :)
Sure, but countless characters, from the Bowery Boys to Barney Fife are silly, but they steal the show. Aside from Andy and the Kingfish, this show is populated with responsible working people. Still it's Kingfish and his schemes and roping in Andy that have me busting out laughing.

There were even Black judges & Black cops. I had many negative things about this show. What I did see, seemed very stereotypical & offensive. Since people have been presenting the Series on YT, I can't stop watching. I've seen many positive aspects I didn't see before when the Series was in Syndication.
Great Show ! Excellent Actors, especially the kids who appeared, periodically.
( Kingfish was one hellava automobile driver ! )
AMOS AND ANDY was a great show with a cast of seasoned and overachieving performers. It sickened me to see their work trashed by race-obsessed noisemakers.

What a Horrible show.
I guess you are entitled to your opinion.
