'Andy, this thing is driving me crazy. If I knowed that making out income tax was so hard, I wouldn't have allowed myself to make any money' 'No?' 'In fact, if I'd tried a little bit harder I wouldn't have made any at all' Now that is great comedy, thanks for having the gonads to post them, every time I watch I laff so hard I cry. Way better than the shit in today...TV are you listening?? It's not about RACE it's about laughing. The world needs to laugh more

without a doubt the funniest show in the history of television.

@emptymind56 47% of the American households don't pay any income tax, but they are all in favor of people who work paying more. They call it their "fair share". So, all in all, it does seem like Kingfish is still alive and well. In fact, there are millions of him out there.

Good comedy. Very likeable characters that I would enjoy having as a neighbor. Yes they act goofy, don't we all. Sure better than reality tv now. Ever notice how good tv was when there were only 3 or 4 channels?

It saddens me to this day that this show was filled with so-called racism. No, it was filled with comedy. Intelligent people knew that all of the shows during the 1950's were filled with scheming, stupid men and loving, motherly and smart wives like Sapphire. It was the people who were insecure about their own selves from the NAACP that made the decision to remove the show. I loved them, I laughed and these talented people had work. We didn't have a voice to what was done to this show!

Everyone is worried about how this show isn't racist. However, I'm doing a project showing how the Cosby Show redefined blacks on TV, and I'm using this as an example. This is full of negative stereotypes! Is it funny? Yes. Is it well acted? Oh yes! However, the NAACP pulled it off the air because it was so full of negative stereotypes about blacks!!
