Best sit-com ever. You can still see plot lines today which began with this show. Banning this program was a gross overreaction to civil rights pressures of the '60's. First true Black television star was Tim Moore. I understand he doesnt have a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. The entire cast should be so honored.
Ernestine Wade and Tim Moore had a wonderful chemistry between themselves, similar to Audrey Meadows and Jackie Gleason. That what made both shows work.
I can laugh at this because this is the society we live in today. Times are so hard that women are out doing men in the job market but back then to be a MAN you HAD to work and take care of your family.
As a young 5 year old Mr.Kingfish reminded me so much of my Grand father who I loved so much.My grand father walked like Kingfish,Talked with direct verbal contact,dressed very well,and was a real class act.My family came from Italy and when they arrived at Ellis Island he couldn't speak any English and in 2 years spoke excellent English to start a trucking and delivery service on Wooster street right off Mulberry street in Little Italy in Lower Manhattan.I do not see the bias the show was accused of.I do not know who decided this show ridiculed Afro Americans
They need to start showing this show weekly in today's time,first because we should show respect to these talented cast of African Americans whom paved the way for many to come,secondly it is disrespectful to just act as if this show never happened and the hard work the cast put in especially being in the time it was produced,I asked my mother why they don't show it and she said because our community said that it puts a bad light on our community and I think that is bull,this show is so before its time and so enjoyable to watch,it gives the shows to date a run for there money,I don't see anything in this sitcom that's anything else but awesome and full of outstanding actors and actress's,we need to push for this sitcom as well as many more that's sitting on some shelf collecting dust when we can finally show the world how amazing we as a people have endured through the times of being put on a back burner as if we were not relative and show our people that through it all our people are an amazing race of people who overcame and conquered through it all and put out the best of anything we touched through our all circumstances,we are a Great People and we need to show the world our value and quit letting anyone else try to erase our magic as they have done so very often in the pass because they know the truth about the value of our people and so many others are intimidated about our very being so they try to brainwash us as a people so we have a low grade of thinking about our value as a people,because if you know you can't win at anything against another group of people your going to try to do anything to make them feel lesser than your group of people so that you can finally win,because you can't win against a group of people that are favored by God ever!!!!!
If they revived Amos & Andy for today, the characters would have to be either saints, heroes, or rocket scientists, or all three. It could never be as it was and would be a flop of lies and distortions.
It is worth remembering that this incredible program, with its wonderful and original actors, was forced off the air by the NAACP. To its everlasting shame.
THEY, THEY THEY! Who the hell are "they?!!" It was "uppity" BLACK FOLK had this sitcom and any similars that didn't fit the criteria of blacks expressing themselves as that of whites. Even Buckwheat on the little rascals was frowned upon by certain "BLACK PPL!" NOW! Now, today, it is seen how "creative" in the field of "arts" our ppl were then, being the essences of ourselves. You blacks can "lie" to our younger generations who know nothing about our pass, but some of us were around then and still here to "expose" the truth. I was "very" young when Amos and Andy's show was airing and lacked understanding of the show, however, I "vividly" recall my parents discussion of "reason" it was taken off the air.
The Amos and Andy show would be a hit in most countries even in this day ands age because Kingfish would be King of the show andy his opposite number based on their personalities.
Jerry...."thin-skinned"? That:s a pretty insensitive statement. I can see that the fight for civil rights is not over yet. I long for the day when the rights of people everywhere are taken seriously and not considered unimportant. The decision made at that time was the correct one.
There is nothing wrong with the show, the actors, or the scripts, but at that time the feeling was that the characters would be viewed as stereotypes that could hurt not help the cause. That was not a stupid viewpoint. When Obama first became president, comments were made in the press and public arena that the Obamas were just like the Huxtables.
Black women were so classy back then, had so much respect for themselves and others. Unlike today some of them are just trashy. No class what so ever. Sapphire handbag I saw a similar one in DSW last week just beautiful.
Back then, not only were Black (and, as another comment read...and White) women classy and had respect for themselves, but, they also had a beautiful, healthy looking straightened head full of hair...no punt intended.
No matter how much I watched this show, it's always funny and refreshing. Reminds me when I had the entire collection on DVD. I and my mother would sit on Sundays and just watch Amos and Andy untill we would drift off to sleep.
It's so sad that the NAACP, put these very talented actors out of work, it literally pisses me off. I've watched every episode at least 50 times, since discovering them on RUclips, I wish someone could find more of them, because there're more laying around CBS Studios, probably in some old dusty basement. These films are a treasure of a by-gone era, that can never be replaced. Additionally, Mr. Tim Moore, along with Ernestine Wade, Spencer Williams, Alvin Childress, Johnny Lee, Nick Stewart, Amanda Randolph, Jester Hairston et al., owned those characters, and can Never be replaced. I purposely mentioned those Actors Individually for a reason. We All, should never forget their names and the contribution they made to the Entertainment World. The executives during those days never honored these beautiful actors for their contributions nor did they receive a salary commensurate with their Talents, not even a Star for each in Hollywood..!! Tim Moore, passed away pretty much penniless in an L. A. Hospital, as I recall never receiving any recognition for his last night time contributions to the Entertainment Industry, nor did any other cast members. I've watched these videos so many times I already memorized most of the script myself but, I continue to watch them and I've come to feel like I've known these people personally, sounds crazy but it's true. I'll continue to watch these great actors in tribute to them all until the day I'm not physically able to. Long Live the Amos and Andy Shows, because there's nothing but garbage being produced today. In closing, I'd love to see the NAACP, come to the rescue of the remaining film and have it put back on TV, in order to right their injustice done to those actors, with the same fervor as was applied when they carried out their gross injustice at having it removed from the air. Let peace reign unto us all..!!! E. J. T.
@BullDog Jackson Hello, I would just like to say that the NAACP was not controlled by blacks at that time, not until about the 1970s. They did play a role but it's not what so many people think without doing their research. Actually, CBS bought Amos and Andy from the creators for $2-2and1/2 Millon. Part of the contract that was signed between the parties was that the episodes would be locked away in the CBS vault forever. But, hallelujah, they didn't know about home recording devices at that time or RUclips so now we have all the episodes except four available to be enjoyed.
Wow, two years later and just now reading the replies, where has the time gone. Lol. Anyway, what I stated previously still holds true today, and as usual continue to watch the reruns of Amos and Andy Show, practically every night and will watch them again tonight. Lol. I just wish someone could find some New Episodes and add them to RUclips.
@@DiegoSanchez-yn5kb Hello and thanks for your information. I only discovered Amos and Andy at the beginning of covid and have watched it continuously (close to about 2 years, I think) and many multiple times day and night since then. My favorite is Tim Moore. Not only was he an extraordinarily wonderful actor but also a decent and moral man in private life. I would love to have seen him perform on stage but I am so pleased he was chosen for the kingfish role in Amos and Andy because no one else could have done it any better. All the episodes available now are on RUclips but four episodes are missing. Have you discovered that some episodes, about 9 so far, recently have been colorize? I still like the black and white episodes better because that indicates the time frame they we're first recorded. But I must admit that the colorized episodes are much sharper, it seems, and easier and more enjoyable to watch. Tim Moore was a national treasure!!!
@@maldijaili6799 Thx. for your reply, I don’t recall seeing the Colorized Version of Amos & Andy, I’ll check that out too, but as you stated I think I’ll prefer the B&W Original too because it best represents the time in which everything transpired. If you don’t know, Google Tim Moore and learn about his little brush with the Law, I think you’ll find it too somewhat humorous and please let me know what you think. Lol. Best Wishes to you and Long Live the Amos & Andy Show.
We would all come home, stop grocery shopping early to get home in tim to see amos and andy, remember everybody scurrying around to get done,HOLY SMOKE haha
I can see where the Big Bopper got his phone routine for the song "Chantilly" Lace". When I saw Andy on the phone with his fiance. It mimics the mannerisms exactly!
I wished I saw this program when I was young. I must have watched a cowboy and Indiam program on a different channel. I wasnt interested in Amos and Andy then but now I see how great it was.
@william alderman - You don't seem aware of the time-frame you speak of, but if you noticed that most of the cast members were at least 40-50 years old when the program was made, and this is 70 years later...just how would there be cast members left to see this? They would be well over 100 years old now.
We used to watch this show all the time my family is from Italy and we thought. It a was a great comedy nothing about it was putting black people down. They were doing better then us economically
Hahahahaggahs@ the end Rose Mary says let's go somewhere REALLY exciting. Hahahah Kingfish knowing what's about to go down says I don't thing you're going to find anything to top THIS! Haahahahha
Growing up in the 50s and 60s Amos and Andy was one of my favorite shows with great actors and great comedy It's a shame that it was pressured by Civil Rights to discontinue the shows because black American s thought it was making them look bad But I thought it was a great show
Except in advanced endeavors. No Blacks created civilization or industrial artifacts. Africa lacks any trace of ancient civilizations, unlike the Orient and most of Asia. Blacks excel in music, sports, and other artistic activities, but not where higher intellect is involved.
@@alphonsozorro7952 Actually, they needed the right setting to flourish. America has it all and they did! Blacks created our only true-American art form: Jazz. Going back generations, they are people of class, culture and great wisdom. Our deranged culture has ruined all peoples values, Black, white Latino and Asian alike.
@@georgemurphy2579 "The right setting...": And they were unable to create that "right setting" on their own in Africa. Hard to see that "class, culture, and wisdom" in black tribal Africa.
@@alphonsozorro7952 There are "no artifacts LEFT, because Europeans "took" them, placing them in their museums or homes. Those in their homes are passed down generation to generation. Take the "BLACK MADONNA(S), "every" european country went to AFRICA to get and brought back a "BLACK" MADONNA statue. Now! Having "given" you this much information, do your "research" to "learn" WHY!! And while at it perhaps you may come up with the "reason" the Pope kneels and "prays" to a BLACK MADONNA.
@@alphonsozorro7952 BULL!!! Timbuktu was "not" originally Arab. The "islam MOORS (blacks)" destroyed "all" presences of the "AFRICANS," Africans. YES, I said "AFRICANS" educational institutions then killed and/or disbursed (sold into slavery) the remaining AFRICAN PPLS. LEARN (research) HISTORY!!! O'h, and while we're at it, are you really so naive to "believe" Palestinians were "not" black? Today's Palestinians are "arabs," meaning (over a period of time) "mixed" with "various" races. Have you not noticed? Some "arabs" are black as coal while some are as white as europeans. EDUCATE YOURSELF!!
I can understand both views as a black man. Somethings have 2 b done away with for progression of the black race n any country. And there's collateral damage that had 2 happen for that progression 2 shows like Amos & Andy. Don't 4 get all the usage of the 🥜 peanut. Their r courageous whites that helped n the Civil Rights movement 2. Some phrases would remind U of uncle tomming. Acting is great n those shows. The show stands as a testament of what we as BLACKS have over come & surpassed as a PEOPLE not just n America but worldwide. Harriet of the Underground Rail Road,said she would've freed more slaves, but some didn't realize they were Slaves. There's enough ignorance 2 go around. Don't point fingers keep working 2 gether. Amos & Andy played it's part .The foundation of what we as BLACKS have many contributing Factors. Look where Tupac, Ice Cube, Ice T, Jackie Robinson, Condolezza Rice, Paul Robson, Ali, Jay Z, Sears use 2 b Sears & Roebucks. And please for the sake of understanding don't focus on the Spelling focus on Content & Context. NAACP HAS DONE ALOT OF POSITIVES N THIS COUNTRY AMERICA THAT HAS BEEN SEEN AROUND THE WORLD. FOOD FOR THOUGHT GO FIGURE
I think it tried to portray Black Americans as dumb and uneducated, truth be told, these guys were brilliant actors!!!! Tgey were classy people, too. If you think about it, didn't Norman Leer do the same in the way he portrayed white (and rich Black) men...and women in the 70s? Think about it!
B.S. that's as absurd as saying the Three Stooges or Laurel & Hardy tried to portray white people as dumb and uneducated. It's COMEDY. Left-wing snowflakes aren't happy unless they're offended about something. And yes, they WERE brilliant actors.
Kingfish can get into THE most situations. Hahaha. "I think I wanna kill myself" Amos says after hearing all the latest situations, I think THAT'S the right Idea" hahahahahhas.
I think It's the only type of life...meaning Marriage... This is very very sexist on both sides... love the show for showing African American lawyers, nurses, judges, police officer's, business people... for all the negative things surrounding a few characters, the African American powers that were, decided the show was a bad view of African Americans based on the lead characters ignoring the positive ones... There were many years later before African Americans were portrayed then anything other than a servants. This was a trade off....
THAT IS NOT TRUE!! CK out some of Harry Belafonta, Sidney Portiea's, Ertha Kitt "ealy" movies in their youth. My favorite, Porgie and Bess. The other, I can't recall the movie's name, Harry Belaphonta plays a soldier. It is somewhat a musical and the scene takes place in a small pub or cafe. It can be found on RUclips as I recently watched it several months ago. MY but there were "so many" movies made in the '40's and '50's with "all black cast," where thery "are not" buck dancing as so many ppl imagine.
Correct me if I’m wrong but when sapphire told king fish that she needed a new dress he said well I didn’t expect you to meet him with your “camel toe”.....😜
Love Amos and Andy, I wish that I could go back to the 50's and meet them, love them. Thanks!!😊
ME TOO !!
Yes, this was a time when African Americans in New York especially, lived much more of a life of unity with each other more than now.

Three Stoogies! Worry!
2267tmh I agree!
right on these comedians were great,,,hillarious they never got the credit they deserved
Overreaction? The work of civil rights is far from over.
Amos is the BEST. I LOVE his character - honorable and a true friend. The X-mas episode is truly heartwarming.
This is the greatest sitcom I've ever seen in my life and I am tv junkie
Ernestine Wade and Tim Moore had a wonderful chemistry between themselves, similar to Audrey Meadows and Jackie Gleason. That what made both shows work.
"Long hard day of WHAT Andy"? " That depends on what kind of JOB she got" (laughter)
I can laugh at this because this is the society we live in today. Times are so hard that women are out doing men in the job market but back then to be a MAN you HAD to work and take care of your family.

The show stands as a testament of what we as BLACKS have over come & surpassed as a PEOPLE not just n America but worldwide.
Harriet of the Underground Rail Road,said she would've freed more slaves, but some didn't realize they were Slaves. There's enough ignorance 2 go around. Don't point fingers keep working 2 gether. Amos & Andy played it's part .The foundation of what we as BLACKS have many contributing Factors. Look where Tupac, Ice Cube, Ice T, Jackie Robinson, Condolezza Rice, Paul Robson, Ali, Jay Z, Sears use 2 b Sears & Roebucks. And please for the sake of understanding don't focus on the Spelling focus on Content & Context. NAACP HAS DONE ALOT OF POSITIVES N THIS COUNTRY
AMERICA THAT HAS BEEN SEEN AROUND THE WORLD.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT GO FIGURE
Benjamln Lewis It’s called personal growth!
Great show on radio too
TV = number one mind- altering drug. Too bad it changed for the worse.
And getting even worse.
I love this because all the women of color were thick .....
Why they show this show anymore
Yes it's just acting.
When king fish.died in 1959.he did have enough money to be buried
What a disrespectful comment
@@johnbishel1270 Fact.
Not 1959, it was 1958.
I think it tried to portray Black Americans as dumb and uneducated, truth be told, these guys were brilliant actors!!!! Tgey were classy people, too.
If you think about it, didn't Norman Leer do the same in the way he portrayed white (and rich Black) men...and women in the 70s?
Think about it!
B.S. that's as absurd as saying the Three Stooges or Laurel & Hardy tried to portray white people as dumb and uneducated. It's COMEDY. Left-wing snowflakes aren't happy unless they're offended about something.
And yes, they WERE brilliant actors.
George Murphy, It was a COMEDY!!!!
Blacks in positions of authority where is the racism and stereotypes here ?
In an all-black society they are bound to hold all postions, including higher ones.
Kingfish can get into THE most situations. Hahaha. "I think I wanna kill myself" Amos says after hearing all the latest situations, I think THAT'S the right Idea" hahahahahhas.

It's as funny as a tooth-ache.
I think It's the only type of life...meaning Marriage... This is very very sexist on both sides... love the show for showing African American lawyers, nurses, judges, police officer's, business people... for all the negative things surrounding a few characters, the African American powers that were, decided the show was a bad view of African Americans based on the lead characters ignoring the positive ones... There were many years later before African Americans were portrayed then anything other than a servants. This was a trade off....
THAT IS NOT TRUE!! CK out some of Harry Belafonta, Sidney Portiea's, Ertha Kitt "ealy" movies in their youth. My favorite, Porgie and Bess. The other, I can't recall the movie's name, Harry Belaphonta plays a soldier. It is somewhat a musical and the scene takes place in a small pub or cafe. It can be found on RUclips as I recently watched it several months ago.
MY but there were "so many" movies made in the '40's and '50's with "all black cast," where thery "are not" buck dancing as so many ppl imagine.
Correct me if I’m wrong but when sapphire told king fish that she needed a new dress he said well I didn’t expect you to meet him with your “camel toe”.....😜
Hello, That's camisole, it's a ladies undergarment like a slip.
I'm 30 never seen this show but omg do I hate it
Great show.. my favorite. Blacks don’t like it
Richard Vollet: Wrong!!

Many, many blacks and whites love this show according to many articles I have read.
Amos was tiresome
