Oh thank God, better than anything on TV today! What great actors & comedians. Just an absolute classic.

[@aislinnkeilah7361]

Good clean humor - no profanity, pornography or violence. Terrific comedians. Classic series. Just as funny as I Love Lucy.

The Kingfish was a scream. One of my favorite shows as a child.

[@gereerowe9686]

Thank you for allowing us to view AMOS AND ANDY. One of the best comedy series of all time. I remember watching them as a child and would get so excited when I knew the show was coming on. Too bad it was removed from TV. and what I feel was for the wrong reasons. Comedies such as THE THREE STOOGES are just too stupid to enjoy.

[@miltonhollis703]

Watched as a kid, my self and I'm 77 And enjoy Amos and Andy sitcom as Much today.....

[@timesly1]

The best tv series I remember when growing up. Real funny. So glad I came across it on here to be able to watch again. They were the best!

CAA stood for Civil Aviation Authority, predecessor to Federal Aviation Administration. It’s hard to believe that at the behest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (how ironic);AMOS ‘N’ ANDY was taken off the air in 1966. Good thing that these episodes are available on KZbin.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Only the shows from the 40's on, are on YT, sans the propaganda pushing black face first TV movie. The 40's is when government took majority control of radio with WW2, and that is why we don't see anything of the USA from the 30's in this show. The shows are funny, mixed with anti family and immoral business as the real propaganda. I bet those two examples are not in the 30's broadcasts, and they have been censored.

The NAACP would go freaking berserk and slap some kind of injunction against the network right down to the show’s janitor to prevent it ever being shown.

these actors excelled in their crafts & were intelligent but in order to act, the ultimatum given to them by the white owned studios heads was to speak using incorrect grammar - the reason black activist for equality forced the end of this and other similar shows/movies - a bitter sweet action (w/ equality, these shows would have been wonderful to watch) hope all of you actors in heaven found equality there SIP ancestors

[@7DMEDIA1]

What

[@hueyiroquois3839]

2:21 "We need some money in this house, and it's your job to bring it in." No wonder people hated this show. That was blatantly sexist.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

You are confused. When people hate a show,---it does not last for 30 years on the air live. Now you were taught it was racist and sexist. But the real progressive indoctrination is anti marriage, and anti free market. I admire their free market spirit, but they are put in the roll of snake oil salesmen. If you can see those two points in these shows, then you will know you have been tricked with distraction. By the way, nothing on this earth is more brutally sexist and racist,--than communism. They are tricky, psychological masters. You will figure them out most likely, ------eventually.

[@hueyiroquois3839]

@@EarthSurferUSA It's nice to know that I'm not the only one here who can't tell when someone's joking.

[@mircat28]

Watched it start to finish with my parents. Very funny but horribly black stereotyped.

[@bcj842]

That's exactly why so many people, black and white and everything between, enjoy The Boondocks so much. Stereotypes are part of what makes comedy relatable and funny. If these characters spoke like white people, a lot of the humor would fall flat because these characters wouldn't be immersive. "Stereotypes" aren't inherently negative.

[@tjmmcd1]

Wow! They portrayed black men as not only being dumb, but lazy, (as he wouldn't take the doorman job), but would actually con their own friends out of money, rather than working a legit job. Also interesting is that they added laugh-tracks to make the TV audience believe this syereotype was somehow, funny.

[@ibrahima1964]

Exactly

[@yeauxxx]

[@colindowden2182]

Is it any different from today, plus this show was no different from the honeymooners.

[@hobonickel]

Not all the characters fit that stereotype. Amos owned and operated a taxi. Calhoun was a lawyer.

[@riorich]

Yes, there are some things that you won't like about characters on TV, but most comedies have someone that's stupid, etc. Ever watch Abbott and Costello? It ran around the same time. They never had a real job, always running from the landlord because they never had the rent money. Did anyone complain? If it wasn't stupid, all they be doing is sitting at the lodge all day and wouldn't had a plot or story. I watched it as a kid, but I never wanted to be like Kingfish or Andy. If people thought that we were all like Andy and Kingfish, then they lived out in the boonies where they had little or no blacks. I've never thought people were like The Three Stooges, slapping each other etc. This was to me, nothing but acting for the camera to get laughs.

[@plantbased5673]

This show can't hold a candle to "The Beverly Hillbillies." That was the best sitcom ever.
