I'm 74, have been binge watching Amos and Andy for over a month now. What a delight to revisit the superstars of comedy of the early fifties. IMO, Amos and Andy was right up there with the Honeymooners.

This is a wonderful show, way ahead of its time. It's tragic that the show was pulled from the air after some black organizations called it racist. I think it was the first show to show blacks living ordinary lives without introducing racism in every show. I respect these amazing black performers. I am a white guy from canada

@listen2meokidoki264 I was under the assumption the NAACP and other black organizations had Amos and Andy taken off the air because they felt it was too negative and stereotype of an image of olden days before the 6o's Civil rights era. I may be wrong. Also I didn't find the Honeymooners racist they dealt with things that were happening in their world I guess and that's fair as did Amos and Andy except the scheming and trying to get over on Andy by King Fish. It was tv and harmless I think.

Believe it or not..I watched this show on the 50's with my grandparents and great uncle . He had a corner grocery store in a mostly black neighborhood for many many years. I remember saying...Uncle talks just like them ! Unk was a hoot. The people loved him, he gave credit all the time and sold popsickles to the kids at his cost. I used to go and spend time in the store "the stow" . Unk would bring home "poke chops". I can still do the accents today. No one made fun of Amos and Andy nor got "racist" about things. Strange bubble I grew up in ! Not really...plenty of us did.

King Fish, a family man who possessed the mind of an entrepreneur with limited resources. Imagine him after a couple of finance classes. Amos, a self employed business owner. Andy Brown , an eager consumer . Pity they were banished from television only to one day be replaced by the likes of Uriel, House of Payne, Home Boys from Outer Space, That’s my Mama, Different Strokes. and Cops. Too many negative stereotypical, baboonish crapola to name cra

These shows are so funny and well-made. Clean comedy and a moral/lesson to every episode. This truly great show has a completely undeserved controversy surrounding it,regarding supposed 'racism' . There is nothing remotely 'racist' in Amos and Andy. The comedy, characters,situations and jokes could be seen in many other shows of then (and now),they are comedic tropes and they are undeniably funny. The Honeymooners,I Love Lucy, Abbott and Costello,(to name just a few shows) had similar tropes in many of their episodes over the years. Besides all that,the show has a truly sweet undercurrent to it,the actors and crew are enjoying themselves and giving their best efforts. I have not seen a bad episode yet,and I've seen at least 20. It is a travesty that this show was basically off the air for several decades,as it is a masterpiece. Watch and you will laugh,you won't be able to 'not laugh' I promise.

This TV show got a lot of flak in the years after its running; but it seems that those critical of this show lost sight that it was a comedy, where it showed the cast of characters living a middle-class existence; all were dressed well and not impoverished; where those other guest supporting characters were working professionals as doctors, attorneys; and business owners. If anything, it showed Harlem in a positive light.

Yes, I watched this show as a kid and NEVER got the feeling it was denigrating Black people - it was just a TV show with a variety of eccentric and funny characters, just like every other sitcom of the period. (One quirky thing about the show sticks in my mind though - a voice on the laugh track very clearly saying "oh my"- they must've used the same laugh track in every episode!)

A seventy year old screen play that is more relevant today then when it was aired. Amos n' Andy is the only sitcom that makes me audibly laugh, The actors were the cream of the crop, in fact the actor who played Andy was a accomplished director in his own right. The writing was a whole lot funny and imaginative then the rubbing today.

I loved this series when I was a kid in the 1950’s and I still do. These actors were really good. Calhoun was my favorite. Tim Moore as the Kingfish was an old vaudevillian comedian. I can understand how people would see this as a bad reflection on the black people. I never thought of it that way. You can’t judge yesterday’s environment by today’s standards. I just enjoyed the entertainment these fine actors portrayed.

Andy and Kingfish aren't depicted as representative of black people. The rest of the characters in the show - ordinary people, from all walks of life - are depicted as representative of black people. If this show disparages black people, then the Flintstones, and Jackie Gleason's the Honeymooners, are two shows that disparage white people.

@@maxinefowler1186 I'm white, I'm 71, and from N.Y. As a pre teen in the late 50's- early 60's TV shows were great. Jewish people have always been a big part of what we saw then and even into the future. Most of them got rich. (I don't know about now). "Amos and Andy" taught me some 'life lessons' just like other shows did. Some respect is due to all. Everybody is peculiar, some MUCH more than others !!!

Calhoun and the kingfish are hilarious together cuz they're always cooking up some scheme 🤣🤣🤣. I love this show, it brings me a lot of comfort. I watch every day. It just gives me comfort just like "Car 54 Where are You?" Not one police officer is complaining about that show, which featured a bumbling police department. Some Black folx are very hypocritical. Every ethnic group can be made fun of but not them. What makes them so special? Far as I'm concerned everybody has to take a turn in the hot seat 🤣🤣🤣.
