@communistfun "its racist cause its blackface"
Uuuum...NO.
It's NOT.
'Blackface' is a white man in black MAKE UP.
Thanks for the bellylaugh.

Amos and Andy was the only early TV show that allowed black people to be doctors, lawyers, judges, polcemen, businessmen ... anything. On all the other shows black actors and actresses were chauffeurs or maids for white families. And yet is is called racist. :(

You cannot beat the classics!! Period!!! It has not a damn thing to do with race or whatever anyone wants to come up with. I love these old shows and I still love Sanford and Son!!! Awesome comedy and actors!!!!

The smarter wives and crazy scheming husbands is a staple of sitcoms.
The Honeymooners was built on that premise. The Honeymooners was very similar with the simpler Ed Norton always getting duped by the schemes of Ralph Kramden. The more reasonable, saner wives kept things on track. This was used in many sitcoms and still is.

I watched Amos 'N' Andy as a kid, and was happy to discover it on YouTube.
It's unfortunate that this show fell victim to the racial tensions of the day.
This show has great characters performed by very funny actors.
It's unfair that this was considered racist while an equally funny, " I Love Lucy' is
a cherished part of our culture, despite the nonstop jabs at Ricky's accent and hispanic background.

The whole cast of Amos and Andy was talented. My whole family watched it as I grew up. These high powered people who thought it was a put-down to Blacks were wrong. What's wrong with a talented cast of Black folk making some money? The NAACP members were insecure and afraid THEY WOULD look bad. How? Secure Black folk enjoyed this for the COMEDY IT WAS. I was well written, the men were silly but all comedic men back then were silly with smarter wives! Geez. Thanks.

Amos and Andy was such a wonderful series....personally, I think the comedy was pure genius, and the actors were wonderful.
