Amos & Andy - Seashore Vacation

[@jameswaight759]

This is some of the best comedy I have ever seen. Its such a shame this isnt on regular TV so everyone can enjoy these wonderful comedies.

[@TheHillman009]

+James Waight - Yes, Amos & Andy was always funny. But humor is much different today. Sad, but true.

[@Shadobanned4life]

Wonderful show with warm-hearted humor for everyone ! Very funny show,it is a shame that it was taken off the air for so long with such flimsy reasons. This is a true American classic and part of our heritage,there is nothing shameful or wrong with this show.

Tim Moore said he would never tell a joke he couldnt tell in front of his mother. This is a cast of pure talent. I'm saddened that Tim, or any of the others, did not receive a star on the Hollywood walk of fame....unbelievable!

[@richardturner6981]

@ Rhonda Larkin: i quite agree that Amos and Andy should have a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Maybe if enough of us got together we could somehow get them the star they deserve.

@@richardturner6981 These "Stars" cost about $25K, just about anybody in the industry can get one, just petition for it through the Academy and pay them.....it's a scam...

@ Rhonda, Hello, Why? There was a 5-year time limit. A sponsorship is $30,000 according to one website and according to another it is $40,000. The explanation of the process and the requirements are all listed on online websites. But he made that promise that you speak of and I believe he kept it all his life. That tells you a lot about a man. He didn't get his earthly reward but the eternal reward is so much better and so much more important.

[@maldijaili6799]

@@mikestang679 , Hello, I read that the local Chamber of Commerce decides who gets a star. I'm wondering whether plaques for the Amos and Andy stars could memorialize them and be placed in a permanent visible location like on Lenox Avenue, on Broadway or near the Apollo theater. I wish someone who knew how to facilitate this would step forward and get it done. Maybe there's even an organization out there somewhere that could help. I would be willing to donate funds.

[@bonnieduke557]

This show is better than most that are on today! I had never seen any of the Amos and Andy scotches before, due to the reputation of being an embarrassment from the past! I finally gave them a try and couldn't stop laughing, loved every minute and the actors were great! 😆😄😃✨😎✨👏🏼

I remember growing up in Brooklyn and my mom and dad watching the show. The intro music was my cue for bedtime. That was a great show. Funny. And their was no racist involved. It was just good old American comedy. Nobody said anything against or racist about the show. Both black and white enjoyed the show. Miss those days. Sad how everything has changed.

[@michaelgilbert1800]

The real Original Kings of Comedy. Totally a hoot. Haven't found the racist angle yet. This is pure gold...

[@GFSLombardo]

The "racist angle" on "Amos and Andy" is that the actors on the original radio " Amos and Andy Show" were white. But for the TV show to show 1950's "social progress" they actually hired black actors, (putting white actors in blackface to play black people on TV was a definite no-no). But they still had to play funny/wise clowns and buffoons in a basically segregated America. But, on the other hand, they did cash all their nice paychecks...just sayin...

[@michaelgilbert1800]

@@GFSLombardo I understand that part of the objection. White folks perpetrating to be Black, whether black face or vernacular is racist and repugnant. My point is that the TV show was hilarious...
