Brilliant story lines, brilliant chemistry, brilliant acting, brilliant comedy. Love this show. 💕
Yes
Absolutely Hilarious 🤣😭 I’m so happy I found this show 💕
Such a fun episode! 👏🏾 Thank you very much for posting.
This show never fails to entertain. I love it and wish it had continued for years and years.
The boulies(uppity negroes)of the naacp got this show canceled. Black people like crabs in a barrel. This show was the forerunner and template for the Honeymooners, I Love Lucy.
Such funny and innocent comedy. Absolutely a fantastic cast with great chemistry. Love these guys. Wish we had this today? Thanks so much for the pleasure of enjoying great comedy. 😂😂
Today's sitcoms are awful, trying to deal with stds/hiv/aids, gun violence, closet queens coming out the closets and basements, nothing the entire family can watch. I was 8yrs old and watch this with my 73yr old great grandmother and 7yr old sister,
What can I say it was great wholesome comedy
These episodes are all the best of all the best
I love this sh#t. Makes me see things thru my grandmother's eyes lol
IKR
This was so much fun ❤️
THESR GUYS ARE HILARIOUS!!! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD
Yes yes I always loved Sapphire and her Mama!! 🌺
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Sapphire is a doll.
Yeah, Sapphire is a doll sho nuff, didn't see enough of these actors after the show was canceled maybe Rollie from AMEN and Amos as Rev Tremble on Sanford and Son and Good Times and Rosetta Lenoire as Karl Winslow's momma on Family Matters, it's like they went in oblivion, a shame such waste of talent. Shame on the infdustry.
Sapphire was in an episode where it was their wedding anniversary and she wanted George to go out, she came out in a spaghetti strapped black evening gown: ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
I can't believe how people don't understand howfunny the old shows and movies in black and white were they have great writing and good acting with great timing and it just goes to show the saying if you go looking for trouble you'll find it is as true then as it is today!
The sitcoms of today are too ditzy, dippy, quippy and they try too hard to make every line funny while talking about stds,hiv/aids, gun violence, gender bender closet queens coming out the basement.
Wow - imagine humor without profanity, porn and violence. This was a terrific series with clever writing and superb acting. Nothing today comes even close to this classic series.
💕💕👍🏿
A great classic.
BLESSED EVENING STAY SAFE
Same to you and your family ❤💐☺

Loving the old school accent!❤️
Love it! Laugh a minute.
Fantastic
I used to watch this show when I was a youth. This episode made me laugh.
The actor who played the young boy's coach played Sidney Poitier's father in the film " Guess Who's Coming to Dinner "
I remember him in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
He is in a lot of these.
Good eve 🙋🏽♀️
Good evening ❤💐☺
the coach in this clip played in the movie GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINER?"
I watched TV in the early fifties and feel that this was the best comedy of the era. The writing and acting was superior to The honeymoomers and I Love Lucy (unwatchable). It's a pleasure to see these again! I dont consider Amos 'n' Andy to be demeaning to blacks after all comedy always has fall guys and good guys
I'm old enough to remember when you got water when you sat down to a table in a restaurant. Here Kingfish and Andy are getting it at a drugstore lunch counter. Le temps perdu!
these old comedies are real comedy better than the stuff now. Like THREES COMPANY
Joyce DeWitt, Suzanne Somers. Well worth the eye candy alone and DonKnotts is always hilarious, the show had two spin-offs.
master actors and casting !
and the timing . .
tech crew Tops also - perfect edits
No windshield in the cab.....😳
I wanna wear my pants like Andy. I have a big beer belly
It would be a long time after this before another TV show would have an all African-American cast [Sanford and Son - 1972]
I always thought it was ironic that it was the NAACP that raised the protests over Amos and Andy and eliminated series starring black people from television for the next two decades.
The NAACP didn't do anything. Black folks didn't choose to make another show. Why is that we have to wait/or blame others
Exactly! What the NAACP actually did was remove an amazing show from television plus put some wonderful actors out of work. However, you never hear the NAACP complaining about the foolishness on TV today featuring people of high melanin, shows that are truly derogatory -- where they are arguing and fighting with each other and using bad language. The NAACP has no problem with this at all -- yet came after a show such as this one.
@@MrPrincessdlow They did actually, they were the most vocal it demands to remove the show from the air for what they saw as racial stereotyping.
@@Riogi Amos and Andy featured [like most sit-coms of the day] men and women with big ideas, but neither the resources or knowledge to carry them out. Humor ensues. The characters were also in professions, a doctor, a lawyer, a police officer as well as blue collar jobs, a proper cross section.
In most ways their portrayal was no different than that of Ralph Cramdon, and Ed Norton in "The Honeymooners" except Cramdon and Norton were both in low-pay jobs and lived in a tenement.
In the 70's when people of my hue were once again featured on TV they all held meneal jobs [Maid, Junk man, laborer] the only professional man was George Jefferson who owned a chain of dry cleaning stores [still doing other people's laundry].
I see their portrayal as just-as if not more stereotyped as that of Amos and Andy.
Jimmy "J.J" Walker's performance in facy could easily be compared to the comedy stylings of Lincoln Perry [aka Stepin Fetchit]. and Fred Sanford [Redd Foxx] was not unlike Kingfish.
I think though, since the black presence on television had been very sparse up until that time, only a few supporting characters [usually in professions], the NAACP was happy just to break through and once again have TV shows that featured a black starring cast, and they worried less about the message the specific characters was sending.
One thing though that the 70's shows DID portray, that Amos and Andy did not was the very real road blocks all people of non-white background faced in their era.
@@Riogi Hello. You are spot on. When Amos 'n' Andy came to TV, it made many progressive changes to the stereotypical characterizations popularized on the radio program. The NAACP protests against the TV version were made out of context.
ReelBlack appreciates your support. Be well. Be safe. Peace and Blessings!
"I guess this time she's lookin' for a man with an income." 😄
This was the best comedy of the era it far exceeded in writing and acting than other shows of the era such as the Honeymooners or the extremely low brow I love Lucy. It wasn't equalled until the British shows such as Black Adder or the best comedy of all time Black Adder. All comedy's have an unscrupulous lead character and an idiotic fall guy. Watch the latter shows to see the best of modern comedy.
They are so disrespectful doing all this to read that diary instead of just asking Sapphire
Ole Skool.. Who Remembers? 😆 🤣 😂
Too bad kingfish and Sapphire did not have a daughter . The young girl that played the teenager had a shape like Sapphire .
Free Amos and Andy!
What's happened to the picture ????
In living Color
-He,-He!
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.
Shut up and watch the damn film always one has to spoil a comedy you must be German🙄
@@Saladin.aslan7168 I do not apologize for defending this great comedy and the actors and writers who made it great.
@@Saladin.aslan7168 Evidently, you dont' know what happened to this great show. Educate yourself before commenting. (And stop stereotyping people.)
The naacp boulie negroes had this gem canceled.
NAACP overreacted with this show
Most people agree
@@windstorm1000 i understand Cosby's thoughts on it when he was talking to Cavett but I think they should've let audiences decide
