These were good times for America! This was good content that the whole family could enjoy.

This Kingfish is such the scam artist. The joke is on him though because if he kept that lot he could have sold it 20-30 years later for mega % gains. lol.

I like the rare times when Andy ended up getting the better of Kingfish in the end!

I had a black friend of mine watch these dvds. He love them just as much as I . These shows were classic clean comedy. No vulgar language or filth that is on TV now.

That little ditty had various words to it that was used in the Radio Series (and was NASTILY used as a slur in the 1936 Presidential campeign as so accurated said by Edward Hermann in the movie "Elanor & Franklin) My brother & I saw it on TV (circa 1962) and use to sing it in unison. Some 30 years later, when my ex'es mother was being a -----

I am a Black woman born in 1951. I remember on Sunday mornings me and my brother would get up and watch

Sonny Fox on Wonderama and Amos and Andy. This show was hilarious. Not all the Blacks were knucleheads. There were characters who played judges, police officers, upper-middle class people etc. Racist? No. Funny? Yes! Some of these current Black shows are more buffoonish then some people claim Amos and Andy to be. And they're not funny! Sanford and Son comes to mind for one example.

One of the funniest radio shows I ever heard was the episode titled "The Lecture Bureau" on the cd box set Old Time Radio Shows-Amos n Andy. In order to glean material for an upcoming political lecture Andy was bamboozled into delivering to a Ladies group, Kingfish and Andy listen in on a Political Discussion at the barber shop between Shorty the barber and Gabby Gibson the lawyer. Those two hopelessly clueless imposters try to baffle each other with nonsensical phrases to great hilarious effect
