Amos & Andy - Trouble at Home

[@acajudi100]

I am 71, and I loved these programs. They were excellent actors!

[@anniel.marshall9563]

This is so wonderful to see a real show with true comedy full of old home made laughters. I’m 81 yrs & I watched them when I was in Elementary school. Couldn’t wait to get home to see it. We all crowded around the TV in 1952 to see them. I can watch them over & over again. Thanks for putting them on.

[@aarondigby5054]

My great grandmother would watch A&A all the time and she'd roast about five lbs of pnuts and refrigerate a dozen coca colas so we'd enjoy the program with her. Love you Grandma RIP.

These are some of the best shows. I wish they like so many other shows were were still on. Nothing like laughing some of Hollywood 's greats stars. I love these funny shows its does the heart good to smile & laugh again

[@jpmahoney56]

what can I say if I'm down I can always watch these classic films with Amos and Andy and it always brings a smile. Love these videos that bring back fun memories.

Jack Val Did any of the actors of Amos and Andy get deserving awards for their superb acting? They deserved recognition for their work regardless of the content of the times.

@@pearlinejones9693 No,this is a tragedy that they received no stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

[@randyacuna3248]

@@TheBee87bee you can thank the NAACP'S Lack os sense of humor, white comedy like the 3 stooges, or jerry or Abbott and Costello's brand is to do crazy things and make up laugh. What difference does it make what color you are, this is comedy, life is difficult, we need our medicine of laughter. Because of protest, the performers are unjustly forgotten. So sad.

[@maldijaili6799]

There are many bios of the cast ..... Especially Kingfish (Tim Moore). Just search for them using Google. There are also interviews of Sapphire, Amos, Calhoun and lightnin on KZbin. There are quotes of Tim Moore here and there and write-ups in his local hometown newspaper called The Rock Island Argus.

[@DiegoSanchez-yn5kb]

I've watched every single episode of Amos and Andy, multiple times, almost every night, simply because these Actors, are the best thing on KZbin, and nothing on Netflix, will ever compare. Their Comedic genius goes unmatched even today..!!

[@pearlinejones9693]

BullDog Collect Agency I wonder if the actors were ever recognized for their acting. They were superb actors.

So funny ! Good laughs especially when Calhoun’s finger poked through his coat in the park & Andy’s lady hitting him with her purse ! Thanks. Another great show .

this I remember as a young child growing up in the south . Bought back so many memories. Really enjoyed.

[@early60srcool]

I loved Amos n Andy! I remember watching it on Sunday mornings as a child! Then in the 60's I got on my high horse and thought just like the NAACP! This show had some of the most distinguished black actors as doctors lawyers police officers etc. Now at 65 I see this show as better than most of the black shows today and in the 90's and 80's!. And putting a lot of great actors out of work!!!!

[@Chooselifealways51]

I loved it too.

[@Lovingvictory1]

I watched Amos n Andy as a child too. And I'm watching it on KZbin and laughing harder than ever! Today's tv has no real comic intelligence. ABC has the nerve to stamp the word FUNNY on shows that it publishes which have no genuine comic intelligence, skill or substance whatsoever.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Right.

[@botulismcasserole9832]

No racial slurs? You do understand this was a radio show that was created 25 years prior by two white dudes who later portraits th me characters in blackface in the 30s. They didn’t create these characters. These characters are themselves stereotypes created by white writers. You sound dumb when you don’t know the history of something you claim to enjoy so much.

You could watch this with the entire family, I remember my great grandmother would roast about eight lbs of pnuts and set a dozen coca colas in the fridge and we'd watch an hours worth of A&A

On another show he had a donut business but this episode has been lost. Sometimes the circumstances backfire on kingfish and Andy is the winner like in the episode of The Rare Coin.

If they decide to make a modern day Amos and Andy Show, I've concluded that there's only one person that could play Andy. New Orleans, born Wendell Pierce, has an uncanny resemblance to Spencer Williams, but, I doubt he'd ever fill the shoes of Spencers' acting ability.

Years ago during the furor over the show, I thought it should stay on, start paying the actors who were still living then, and the rest to the United Negro College Fund. No one responded positively to my letters back then. It was on every night, (M-F) at our house when I was a kid. I just wish there was less violence against men in the show.

Yeah, I too remember back then but could I have fact checked, easy to do now on the Internet, I would have learned that Amos was a true brother. Story went that Amos was a white man in blackface.
