    I remember watching him back in the early 50s I'm 73 n still enjoy the videos 2024
  • This blows away today's TV. The whole cast are wonderful. They are dearly missed.

    I remember Kingfish leaving a massage saying “” I’ll get back to you at my earliest inconvenience”” LOL

    Just when I thought I’d seen every episode, I ran across this one today. This is one of the best yet, and the surprise ending is brilliant!
  • @garyzimmer8061
    Truly the greatest comedy of all time! I loved these folks! They are a tribute to comedy and truly fine actors. Shame on ANYONE that plays this as racist, it has nothing to do with race, what it DOES have to do with is comedic GENIUS!! I've followed them since their radio days.

    Good and funny show! All great actors! I watched Amos and Andy many years ago When I came to this Country from France, It made me laugh so much, I felt less lonely being in new Country Thank you for posting ,this 83 years old Grandma appreciate it very much.

    My oldest brother and I remembered watching these shows they were hilarious we used to rent them and watch. I still love to watch them today.my brother has passed now but everytime I come across these I always think of him. This was true funny comedy. Kingfish could get into more trouble but he couldn't get away with anything with Sapphire.😂

    I was looking up black sitcoms and came across this. This is hilarious 😂😂 we need more black sitcoms, more laughs please
  • @pennypacker77
    Amos and Andy is brilliant and funny as hell, and screw anyone who begs to differ. I watch it all the time, and I wish the original master copies of all the episodes would finally be restored and remastered so that everyone can enjoy this excellent show. This is no different than Car 54 and the Honeymooners. Only bigots would take one look at this show, without actually watching it, and call it offensive and racist

    My mom's, use to laugh so hard off of these sitcom 2022 March 🤣😅🤣
  • @CSMOtime
    This is pure genius , great acting , and funny as hell.
  • Back in 1964, I graduated high school Mother,older brother and I used to stop work and go to the sun porch and watch these folks. We laughed ourselves silly of course, ideas have changed, but this is some of my happiest memories.

    I was born in 1975 and I guess you could say I am from generation x which places me at a whole different time from this show. Many years back I discovered this show and fell in love with it! This show got me through some hard times in my life alongside of the Marx brothers. . I would say that it has to be one of the best shows of the 50s next to the honeymooners skit. I love these guys. Little fun observations, Ralph Kramden works as a bus driver and lives in a dump, Kingfish doesnt work at all and has a nice apartment lol Another one is, the show is called Amos and Andy and if you remember the movie Check and double check played by the shows creators, Freemon Gosden and Charles Corell which is based on the radio show, The show centers around Amos and Andy but on this 50s TV version its mostly Kingfish and Andy. I will always love Amos and Andy and thanks for posting these. I actually bought every episode on video tape back in 2002.
  • I was a little African American boy just 5 years old when I saw Amos 'n Andy. We didn't have television, but our next store neighbors (Mr. and Mrs. Graham) had one. They'd invite me over every week because I must have real enjoyed it. Fast forward 70 years later, in 2021, I still think they are funny...a lot funnier that the crap that passes for sit-com Black comedy today. Yes, I know----this show stereotyped Blacks, but you know what, by and large, the "system" still does. I'll take the earliest, and probably the best, Black television efforts. The performers were old war horses in live theatre and they are top-notch!

    The folks that wrote the scripts were pretty clever!
