      When I was growing up in the 50's, Amos and Andy were my go to AM radio show for laughs! Also listened to other radio shows back in the day!
      However, Amos and Andy were funniest of the moment on AM. Never thought anything about the color of their skin back then! They just made me laugh in my young youth years. Still make me laugh 60 years later!

      I find these characters to be alot more likable than Ralph Kramden. The plots seem virtually interchangeable. I absolutely love the malapropisms. Maybe it is because the shoes are new to me, but I am enjoying them as much as I do the Marx Bros. Certainly a consistently better program than ' I love Lucy. I'm waiting for an episode a friend once told me about...... In which one of our boys buys a travel trailer and pulls it behind his Harley Davidson. Good stuff, well worth waiting through!

      Well, that's exactly what the radio show became by the end of the 1940's (of which most of the TV scripts were adapted from). The plots were essentially variations on "How will the Kingfish try to outsmart Andy *this* week?"

      @citizenken7069 2 года назад +2

      @@fromthesidelines You're correct that Kingfish had pretty much eclipsed Amos by the time they moved to television. However, Kingfish didn't victimize Andy as much on the radio show. The shows' usually involved him trying to help Andy out of some dilemma, or vice-versa.

    Amos N Andy is the very first victim of cancel culture back in the 50s way before the Civil Rights Bill has passed in 1964.There is nothing degrading about this show.The Humour is no different than Sanford and Son or Good Times.Even though the show originate in mistrel radio show this old tv show should be a classic like I love Lucy and Hooneymoon

    • @elainep1772

      I wouldn't link this to cancel culture but the NAACP needs to apologize. This show showed black Americans being investors, doctors and bankers, not just maids. This was 100% comedy and nothing degrading about humor unless they wanted people to live a unstimulating life. Maybe, the NAACP had too many religious people early outreach missions.
