      You got me by a year. Amos n Andy was the show that my brother and I would watch every day after school. They pulled up their pants, no smoking and drinking, no hanging out on the corner etc, they were suits. Compare it to the sitcoms ontv ow. The remake of Good Times should be taken off Netflix like Amos n Andy was taken of by the NAACP and I was a lifetime meet.

      It’s pretty much just that. Showing characters in a black community being who they are in a sitcom setting, sort of like the Beverly Hillbillies being unapologetically themselves even in hoity-toity Beverly Hills. You’ll never find an Ozarks or Appalachian dweller offended or disgusted at that TV show. Quite the contrary. People from my part of the country ADORE the Clampetts and would take to the streets if a group of people tried to take THEIR people off the air. I should think it would be the same with Amos ‘N’ Andy, but for some peculiar reason, it’s not.

    ? I have a friend in the music business Reverend Isaac Douglas we met a few times and talked and he passed this information on to me maybe someone else will verify it but I take it to be true
    He was known as the fifth Beatle he was involved in recording with this group this group for over 20 years world famous musician Billy Preston his mother played Sapphire on Amos and Andy
    I was a regular at the time and there's a lot of trivia that has come up in conversations this was one of them
    I also believe back-in-the-day the NAACP had a lot to do with Amos and Andy being cancelled because of the images that they projected I'm not sure why because today's movies look the same
