@Ayden Liam Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
my dad turned me on to this show on my 59th birthday! (last week) woww what a birthday present! i watched a good number of these shows and in this one poor andy dont get the shaft lol! kingfish didnt get over on andy in this one hahaha!! this kind of entertainment you can feel good about the whole family watching...good clean humor and no bad words! love it!
I've read most of the comments so here's mine. In my opinion, this was one of the best comedies on TV ever! I loved ALL the actors/actresses and NEVER once thought about the 'stereotype' thing claimed by the NAACP who forced the show's demise. I watched this show as a kid in the 50s and 60s, and I still enjoy it today! It is a shame that the cast didn't get permanent residuals from this show. It's also a shame that, even though many of them made VERY large salaries ($500-$700 per week) by comparison to an average wage at the time, most evidently didn't manage their money very well. For example, when George "Kingfish" Stevens died, they didn't even have enough money to bury him. That's a real shame. They should've been given advice on money management back then. Either way, as I said, I still watch this show and am working on watching every episode! And by the way, I am white.
You did not have to tell anyone black that you were white. 😊 I wonder with a little adjustment the show couldn't have been saved. I was not an adult in the 50's and 60's, but I realize the complexity of racial interpretations in different parts of the country. Notice that there were no black actors in the commercial. These actors are exquisite and I have watched multiple episodes multiple times. I see good things about the show and I can see the complexity of the matter. I don't need to change anyone's mind. I think your perspective is valid. So is mine.
I love Amos "N" Andy - grew up watching it & it's even more funny today than I remember it being. They were all such great actors and didn't get the credit they deserved. I have the entire collection on DVD & I still watch it continually today !!! Hard to pick a favorite episode because I love each one, however, the one where Kingfish teaches Andy to fly is still one of my favorites.
My goodness I laughed so hard, the end of the story was more funnier than I could ever imagine. Thank youmuch for bringing back these old TV and radio show’s.
Lady you must not know the history behind these two buffoons how the hell is this brilliant just because they have a black face on it they made a mockery of these two clowns this was doing nothing but the great and black people by the way they bucking their eyes and talking ignorant what are you talking about lady
Me and my family in those years we all use to watch Amos and Andy .They use to keep us all laughing together.We all didn't want to miss this watching them every week together.
My dad slaps me silly every night with the rotten bologna we find out back of the bologna factory and he runs my toes over by the dumpster car with the shopping cart. Ouchie. I got me seventy-4 Bunyan’s in my feets. We have the best times in the skunk cabbage fields.
BROOKLYN NEW YORK, The Cast Of The Show Don't GeT The Credit That They Deserve, They Were Really Great Comedians & Should Be Appreciated For There Talent, Rest in Paradise, Thanks For All The Joy&Laughter You Brought To Us All
AWESOME!!! Loved her lined when she said "I'll be the first mother ever to ever strike her son the day he arrived". I almost spit out my food when she said that.
Exactly!!!!!! I can’t believe though that the NAACP had this show taken off the air. I don’t see anything but good, clean, comedy from some wonderful actors and actresses.
@@crystalgrose that's because some back actors who were light skin were made to put on black face. And speak so poorly as if they were uneducated. It's a slave mentality attached to all of the above. However it's still available. You see how some actors do not speak as if they are on a plantation & some do. Sapphire doesnt but kingfish, lightning are the worse speaking & depicted as dumb. They werent through.
Can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about this comedy. But I do want to say its a comedy that never gets old just like my favorite western Gunsmoke. This is a classic.
My mother was always scolding my daddy and I about looking at this show. It was the funniest show when I was a kid...but the people were immersed in all activities, no four letter words, no inappropriate innuendo, "big dummy" was all I heard that could have been name calling. The usage of the English language upset my mother, but after looking at the Eastside Kids' films, "the KIngfish " could have been an English teacher (smile). There are some not favorable notes about the history of its beginnings, but, in America, that's not unusual.
I grew up watching this show at a wonderful black lady's house! She loved it and there is nothing bad about it! They were great actors and a wonderful show. I'm 74 now and still love it! It should be on TV with I love Lucy! It's just as good.
@@Chloeceegaming..7253 Hello, Amos' complexion was light but otherwise you have your information wrong. The history is all online. If you want to you can check it out.
I came up with the "AMOS & ANDY SHOW" 1952 - 1959, the ignorant NCAACP, had no clue of talent fordified with tradition .. Let them work was the cry, VERY GOOD ON YA KINGFISH AND THE CREW. loved it to the bone.
Amos and Andy were middle call people. They were well dressed. And most, with the exception of kingfish, was gainfully employed. Andy's mother n law, on Kinfish pawn a gun, had saved up over 161 dollars. Mega bucks back then.
Connelly and Mosher who wrote many A&A s later created and produced Leave It To Beaver and The Munsters. Ross later wrote and produced The Andy Griffith Show .
On further research, Connelly and Mosher wrote and produced for their old bosses a "disguised " version of Amos N Andy , Calvin and the Colonial cartoon series . Bob Ross also has some writing credit on this . But LITB was their jewel .
Yes agreed humor without sec or violence hard to do. Someone said the series helped their depression. The series does lift your mood. Actors brilliant; writers excellent.
A show that depicts black people as cultured, articulate and gainfully employed -- except for Kingfish, who was the stereotype, and he was the fool. That is terrific social commentary. And it's funny. All points that are absent today.
"Amos 'n' Andy" was first broadcast in the early 1950s, and at this time was another show called "Beulah," also with black actors. And by the way, there was an "Amos 'n' Andy" program on the radio.
DOES ANYONE KNOW? When Kingfish enters the law office, he greets three men seated together on one side of the room and calls them by some of his brothers names---Jeff, Art and Ray. Question... Are these his real brothers or are they actors? The same goes for a woman on the other side of the room whom he calls Aunt Viola... actress or his real life aunt? Any ideas? Now I know. These are actors and not his real family as I have seen his family in newspaper articles since then.
Frank Zappa had a 1983 album called "Thingfish" where his black singer mimicked Kingfish and was the narrator of the album. It's a strange story, which is a side issue-- has nothing to do with this show, but his singer, while growing up with his family, used to impersonate Kingfish for laughs. Anyway, his mimicking on the album is a little exaggerated, but hilarious
Amos and Andy along with the Honeymooners were the two best sit-coms on early television. Too bad ignorant black and white racists drove this classic show off of television. The black actors and actresses in Amos and Andy are still denied the acclaim that is due them for their vast comedic skills. Amos and Andy is so much superior to the crap that passes for "comedy" on television today.
Wish they would bring this Program back..nothing like clean,funny humor..Tired of seeing Blacks depicted as pimps and drug dealers..The Blacks in this series were dipicted as civilized and good people..
I would put the characters, plots, jokes, & acting of this show up against any of the greatest classic shows on television. That this program was taken away from public view is heartbreaking!
A balance of comedy is what us folks wanted.. That's why Bill Cosby was a Legend in Showcasing ' The Cosby Show ' not here for debate on ' Sexual Assault '.. Cases.. Amos 'n' Andy did what it did for A section of the Community.. Not all Black folks are going to be ' Sidney Portier '
I'm 75 now but grew up on this wonderful show. Every time I see an episode on UA-cam I laugh and am in such a good mood. I remembered
I love older people who are wise. What a mess weve let evil do to us. I kove thiis program too.

I don't care what anyone says. This was a brilliant show with brilliant actors and writers.

@@dailray3204 Yeah Yeah... NEXT!!!
I agree
Just a different version of the honey mooners
All Black cast with others sprinkled occasionally 😉
Me and my family in those years we all use to watch Amos and Andy .They use to keep us all laughing together.We all didn't want to miss this watching them every week together.
Those years it was all about families on television .
Nyoka Baker, that one tv to a household really brought about family bonding.

Hello,
Yes, I know but their heavenly reward is what's important.
This show takes me back to the good old days, I love 💘 it.
This is one of my favorite shows, great!
Shows that humor doesn't need any cursing or dirty jokes. The actors are very theatrical, very good, hilarious at times.
Simply the best comedy program ever created. Only Sanford and Son can compare. Absolutely hilarious. My compliments to the writers and actors!!
Hello,
IMO there is no comparison between Amos & Andy and S and S. on any level.
@@maldijaili6799 people are entitled to their opinion. Relax. Killa
Sanford and Son does not compare to this show.
What great clean humor - no profanity, politics or porn. Clever skits acted superbly.
Have you noticed that none of the characters ever takes a drink? It's always tea or coffee when they need something.
Thank you Reelblack for your contribution to Black awareness. Absolutely ALL of our past has made us what we are today.....a Blessed people. 💖
You’re welcome 🤜🏾❤️🤛🏾
@@reelblack 🤜🏾❤️🤛🏾
Hi I just love watching Amos in and they always make me laugh so much
One of the best African American sitcoms out there. Disagree with me? I don't care. This is right up there with The Jeffersons.
it is giving me that vibe off the bat
No this Was made at A time When black people Were still proud to be called Black...
paul jackson 1952? Are you sure about that? They were faced with propagandas that brought them down
I grew up watching Amos and Andy! IT made black people to me to just be people! Then in the late 60s and 70s the demoncrats took over!
amos and andy the jeffersons cant hold a candle to amos and andy the original black sitcom
I wish they still made moves like these.
I love this show. I have watched this show for more than 50 years and I love it today
Loved this show growing up in the 1950s. Thanks for posted. Precious memories of a great show.
Love the show! Very funny without cuss words.
When it was cut off and thought then it a grave mistake. Bless the staff and cast.
I use to watch this show after school with my mom.
AWESOME!!! Loved her lined when she said "I'll be the first mother ever to ever strike her son the day he arrived". I almost spit out my food when she said that.
This is the Funniest Show I have Ever Seen... And I wasn't even Born when they made it..
Loved this show!
The young people today should see this show!This is REAL comedy!It shows that you don't need sexual innuendo and 4 letter words to be funny!
Absolutely. You needed real talent to create a classic show like Amos and Andy and this show had it by the bucket load.
Im sold. I never saw anything this old with an all black cast. Love this 💯
Exactly!!!!!! I can’t believe though that the NAACP had this show taken off the air. I don’t see anything but good, clean, comedy from some wonderful actors and actresses.
I Couldn't agree more.
@@crystalgrose that's because some back actors who were light skin were made to put on black face. And speak so poorly as if they were uneducated. It's a slave mentality attached to all of the above. However it's still available. You see how some actors do not speak as if they are on a plantation & some do. Sapphire doesnt but kingfish, lightning are the worse speaking & depicted as dumb. They werent through.
This show was great !
I loved looking at Amos and Andy.
AMON AND ANDY SHOW I JUST LOVE IT WHAT A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF. I LOVE EACH TIME THIS DIAMOND POPS UP.
Can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about this comedy. But I do want to say its a comedy that never gets old just like my favorite western Gunsmoke. This is a classic.

This is priceless gold 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥❤️💯

I grew up watching this show at a wonderful black lady's house! She loved it and there is nothing bad about it! They were great actors and a wonderful show. I'm 74 now and still love it! It should be on TV with I love Lucy! It's just as good.
I watched Amos and Andy back in the 50's and it was and still is a classic and no different than Sanford and Son or the Jeffersons.
With that white man playing a blackface taxi driver, it is VERY different!
@Myke Vision Hello, you got that right. Much, much better than the others.
@@Chloeceegaming..7253 Hello,

@Aaron Digby SR Hello,
Exactly correct but their eternal reward is what's important.
@@maldijaili6799 which is what?
Saphire is so cute!!
I love her. I think Alice kramden based on her character. No nonsense.
It makes me wonder why there were no kids? Maybe Kingfish had a problem!😂
EXCELLENT!!!
Seeing Sapphire going from being joyful to hostile in a flash is something to marvel at. Ernestine Wade playing the part was a delight to watch.
That Beer been around along time! I drunk some a couple of times back in the old days!
This show is so funny and I look to see the original copies.
"Orange juice, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, four or five scrambled eggs, and coffee."
HAHAHAHA! Great humor,wonderful actors!!!!!
I came up with the "AMOS & ANDY SHOW" 1952 - 1959, the ignorant NCAACP, had no clue of talent fordified with tradition .. Let them work was the cry, VERY GOOD ON YA KINGFISH AND THE CREW. loved it to the bone.

Love the old Blatz commercials.
Yes agreed humor without sec or violence hard to do. Someone said the series helped their depression. The series does lift your mood. Actors brilliant; writers excellent.
The best comedy Television has made!!
Its real and sad it was taken down in 1953 but its a American show no bones about color just colorful.
Dude ran his own cab company! Very funny!
It's located in Harlem, where all forms of professional blacks resided.
@24:50 Momma's hats were one of the funny gimmicks to this show
One of the best shows ever on television. Wonderful actors Shame that it was taken off of TV. Much better than the trash posing as black shows now.
This show should have been called kingfish and Andy
This is the most hilarious show I’ve ever seen! Oh my God it’s funny!!! 😅
Yesssssssss. They. We're. Great
This video was funny 😂🤣
That was a great show, they need Too put it back on Television, because these TV shows now not as funny!
A show that depicts black people as cultured, articulate and gainfully employed -- except for Kingfish, who was the stereotype, and he was the fool. That is terrific social commentary. And it's funny. All points that are absent today.
Agreed. NAACP make a mistake
Classic comedy situation
LOL @ Lightnin wiping off Calhoun's kiss.
I love these guys❤ reminds me of when I was a girl 💕
I remember watching this as a child in the early sixties, this show along with the ed Sullivan show was the only show I saw black people on.
I I also watch this show to
Along with Julia they were funey
"Amos 'n' Andy" was first broadcast in the early 1950s, and at this time was another show called "Beulah," also with black actors. And by the way, there was an "Amos 'n' Andy" program on the radio.
What greater show could you want?
Amos and Andy show have me laugh

Just plain funny.
Me and Sapphire could get Married, if it wasn't for that Kingfish!
This is one of my favorite episodes, especially when the adoption judge says, "Well, there's an emptiness somewhere."
The best
The TV show ran from 1951 to 1953.
Was this the first show with an all black cast? Anyone know?
I Remember The show
Feels like the predecessor to the Jeffersons
First thing I would have done was give sapphire half of it 😀
When I was a kid in the 60's, my dad used to always drink Blatz beer or Carling Black Label.
Holly mackerel I've adopted a tapeworm lol
Ernestine Wade was a beautiful woman. Johnny Lee was a handsome man. #sorrynotsorry
Wish they would bring this Program back..nothing like clean,funny humor..Tired of seeing Blacks depicted as pimps and drug dealers..The Blacks in this series were dipicted as civilized and good people..
Blatz was bought by Pabst in 1959: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Blatz_Brewing_Company
$2,000 was a year's salary for the average [US] wage earner back in the early 1950s.
Who is Arthur Connelly?
I would put the characters, plots, jokes, & acting of this show up against any of the greatest classic shows on television.
That this program was taken away from public view is heartbreaking!
A balance of comedy is what us folks wanted.. That's why Bill Cosby was a Legend in Showcasing
' The Cosby Show ' not here for debate on ' Sexual Assault '.. Cases..
Amos 'n' Andy did what it did for A section of the Community..
Not all Black folks are going to be ' Sidney Portier '
It.s hard to believe the show is 68 years old.it was hysterically funny
Amos 'N' Andy
Spelled "Amon" wrong. Should be "Amos".
I can see where the honeymooners got it's inspiration.
The year I was born 😱😳🥂
Boy that king fish will do anything for some money make a fool out his friend
Seen all of them. Why does Kingfish get 70% of the lines?
amos and andy, not amon
