"Pawn it in New Jersey!" I almost lost a mouthful of coffee when Kingfish said that!
Do you live there?
@@joel8583 No, for some reason that line just made me laugh like crazy.
That part was hilarious! LMAO
These actors were outstanding! The gentleman playing Calhoun was hilarious. What a comic genius.
Calhoun my favorite
This country needs more attorneys like Calhoun!!
Amos is the best. Not just a great straight man for the series, he’s also a great friend to the boys and constantly fixes their messes!
Great characters, a testament to the performers and the writers. This is a piece of Americana that should be in the Library of Congress.
THE "KING FISH TAPES ARE SO (DAMN FUNNY!!!!
These were great actors and those that complained had nothing better, or even more entertaining to offer during this time. Great artists when compared to any of this time.
Writing that has Andy describing a purse as "stimulated alligator" preceded Archie Bunker and his many stimular statements.
"Sanitary Confinement!" & When he started firing that pistol TOOK ME OUT!!!😂🤣😭💀
Sanitary Confinement aint that a kick in the pants
@@markpayne6803 Hilarious!
I thought he said “sanity confinement”.
I laughed so hard at Sapphire trying to sing, "Here Comes The Bride." I laughed harder when Kingfish said, "Honey, will you cut that out?! The neighbors will think the cat fell in the washer machine again!" 😂😂😂😂😂
“They’ll put me in sanitary confinement!! 🤣
Amos and andy ran circles around red skelton and the rest
@@ernestconley5327 yes, they were funnier than red skeleton.
you can buy the entire series on DVD from Amazon. I did and now I can see all the episodes when I want.😂😂😂
And when Kingfish said "That's the day they sunk the Maine."
I grew up watching Amos n Andy...love all the episodes
Andy is my favorite
That Calhoun is a trip.
I'm happy I can enjoy Amos & Andy again, watched this show when I was young, clean and funny !,
He said he met Kingfish about 18 years ago at a carnival, He reached in his pocket to get his wallet and shook hands with Kingfish. Great Stuff here.
'E
I LOVED IT
That was hilarious! The writing, acting, and comic timing of the cast was the best.
This was my favorite episode of what was many brilliantly funny shows
Amos and Andy was a great TV show, I wish they bring it back to TV next year 2021
I used to watch this show when I was just a kid. I thought they were clean funny shows, and I still do. No one complained about The Life of Reilly.
Exactly what I thought !
It's just the younger generation these kids wake up in the morning and everything turns racist
@@terryhill4732 Oh lord, how true.
@Nicolas Lara I am laughing I'm laughing at your dumbass
Many years prior to my even hearing the words T V. , I listened to AMOS AN ANDY on radio. -----Later, when I could see them on T VF , W O W --- What a magnificent experience. GREAT ACTORS, GREAT PERFORMANCES !!!!!!!!!
I grew up watching Amos and Andy and almost at the same time Abbot and Costello.They were two shows so Inter -chageable for me in so many ways.It made me see how much, as people ,we are so Inter - changeable.
This episode was a classic. Misunderstand can.get anyone in trouble. Guns are big problems expecially in the wrong hands. Doesn't matter who you are it's wise to look in the bag if your gonna hold it. As a kid I loved the comedy of this cast. The women got duped abunch but they really put these guys in their place. The writing was great and kingfish was always trying to con somebody. Trying to make a $ out of opportunity. Can't blame the man yet trouble was his middle name. I knew I was gonna be laughing bunches with this show. Clean fun thanks for reruns cuz it brings back how funny this show was. This is pure Love through comedy
One of the best shows ever and very funny. But it's so sad they removed it and won't allow it to be shown on TV any more. Thank God for TH-cam to provide classic shows like this.
"She's carrying on there like Tallulah Bulkhead." "Maybe I ought to get you a phenobarberpole."
It's sad, and idiotic. It really makes no sense.
stomp liberals' heads.
Is you a racist
@@terryhill4732 fucking right and proud of it.
Amos and Andy was NOT racist, it was fun, funny and a joy to watch. Sadly, PC of the sixties took this gem and its wonderful and talented cast off the air. I'm so glad to be able to watch these episodes again. Love ya, Kingfish, Andy, Amos, Sapphire, Ruby, Calhoun, Lightening, Mama and all the others.
I loved Amos. He was my favorite. Kingfish was great. In fact I loved them all. So sorry they took it off. Like everything else the PC has to messes everything up.
I thought Calhoun was great too.
@Corno di Bassetto Thanks for your contribution. Kingfish was my favorite character. I'm delighted to learn about the number of famous celebrities that paid him respect after he passed.
@Corno di Bassetto I think Amos and Andy was top drawer 1950s comedy. It was all about people acting stupid and / or trying to scam people and getting caught. I Love Lucy. Phil Silvers. The Honeymooners. Etc. The problem is that as you said, television and movies at that time gave a much wider representation of white people. However, it only showed black people either in subservient roles, or acting stupid. I agree with you; after Amos and Andy went off the air, you didn't see blacks on television again in responsible positions until the mid to late 1960s.
@@xibungo71 what's wrong with being funny? I think that's all they were trying to be. Nothing wrong with making people laugh. It's one of the best ways to bridge a gap between people. People take things waaaaay to seriously now. Such a boring, droll, and killjoy way to live. Not healthy either.
Wonderful and sweet-natured show. Very funny in so many ways!
These actors deserve many awards deserving of their masterful skills during this difficult time for black folk .
You've been listening to too much social media and watching too much TV bruh us blacks are doing fine so quit using the pity Kitty on us
@@terryhill4732 I get what you're saying bro, but quit trying to make white ppl feel so comfortable my brother. What are you get from that?
@@dfjr1990 bro you're trying to put a whole population of people as in white people and make them sound like they're all the same so who's the real racist sounds like it's you regardless to the fact of the matter a black man can be just as racist as a white man can you sound like one of them uneducated idiots from Podunk
I loved watching this show in early reruns as a kid, and still find it warm, and fun, and funny! So sad that so many have been denied the sweet fun of this beautiful show! Sure, it shows black folks in a less than perfect light, but the same tone was found in many "white" shows, such as The Honeymooners, Phil Silvers, Life of Riley, I love Lucy, and The Flintstones. So good to see these wonderfully-made shows again, with all their gentle life lessons.
Tim Moore, what a wonderful man, a great actor, should have a star on Broadway..
Many famous comedians admired his work, including Groucho Marx who attended Moore's funeral.
@ Larry Bennett, Hello,
It is too late for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because of 5-year limit. But his eternal star reward is the greatest and the most important one for Tim Moore and everyone else.
Now, I think it would be great and wonderful if all the stars on the Amos and Andy TV show were memorialized somewhere on or near Broadway with plaques at a permanent visible location.
@@maldijaili6799 "It is too late for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because of 5-year limit." This makes no sense. You have to be deceased for at least 5 years to be eligible for a start on the HWOF.
A star isn't enough. Tim Moore is far better than most of those.
Damn. These guys are hysterical! I fell on the floor laughing when he tried to light his cigar with a cigarette-lighter gun.
A gag borrowed by Blake Edwards in one of his _Pink Panther_ movies.
"She's carrying on there like Tallulah Bulkhead." "Maybe I ought to get you a phenobarberpole."
I really Enjoy 🤣😂😅 this TV show, THANK You so much.
What a wonderful show!
When I was younger I loved watching seeing people that looked like me
Cynthia Keyes what I find really interesting is the fact that only women seem to feel that way about themselves. That being represented by people who looked like them was important in comparison to having people who thought, or acted like them...
@@MalikEmmanuel you know it was kinda hard during those days it's like it was a win for us at the time but later you think..wait...what ...kinda thing yes u are correct I can only see it thru female eyes..so.....thank you for the feedback
MalikEmmanuel c
Just the Best, Ebonics and all. Thank you for the Memories.
This brings me back to my childhood. I used to love this show, then it disappeared. BTW Amazon has all 74 episodes available that have been restored. It will be available at the end of this month. (No, I'm not a paid Amazon employee; just a fan of old TV shows).
THANX !
This looks like an amazon ad.
This is what Comedy is Supposed to Be... Clean, Respectful and Funny..
It's hysterical. I loved this show as a kid and still do.
Oh how happy I found the Amos "N Andy shows. I was only nine years old when I started to watch the shows, what great memories. The humor and acting still lives on today.
LOVED THIS SHOW
WHEN I WAS YOUNG,!!
Now,,76yrs old,!!
KINGFISH,,such a HOOT,!!
ALL THE ACTORS WERE
SO GOOD,!!
One of the best shoes to ever be on tv
These T.V. shows made my whole family laugh our asses off in the 1950's. Old , muntz , black & white , set !!!! At 75 , I still bust a gutt !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahhhh. Love this.. watching this brings back sooo many childhood memories... Thinking about my parents
Holy cow I knew something was going to go awry when Kingfish had a heater in his pants but I did NOT AT ALL expect that pawn shop scene to go the way it did…. I haven’t laughed this hard for two weeks.
I remember as a boy listening to Amos and Andy on the radio-super popular and funny. The Kingfish was always scheming- loved him.
Best comedians ever!
This episode was way way before my time but I find this type of comedy funnier than one's made for my generation. Anyone else can relate ?
Loved this show. Still have some old VCR tapes. Member of a Lodge and the Mystic Knights of the Sea is close to reality. Thanks for posting them.
Amos n Andy could have gone on for years as the radio show had hundreds of stories and episodes. The NAACP brought this show to an end and I would guess it slowed down the production of other shows with a Black cast. Hattie McDaniel said it best when she told the NAACP it is better to play the role of a maid for 700 dollars a week than to be one for 40 dollars. This show was good and clean comedy that showed Blacks as educated people in professional positions. Thank goodness these episodes were saved and we can enjoy them 70 years later. With the money earned as playing the role of Lightning, Horace Stewart opened the Ebony Showcase Theater where many Black actors got their start like John Amos from Good Times.
I seen this episode in 1951 with my parents, thanks for making it available, fond memories
Seventy-two years after it's first broadcast, and we're still laughing. If that isn't a classic, nothing is.
I saw this episode on TH-cam a couple years ago. Every time I remember Kingfish saying, "Pawn it in New Jersey!" it cracks me up.
EVERY time!
I love this show! My mom introduced it to me. I read that it was cancelled because it wasnt diverse..anyway the Honeymooners came after, basically the same concept.
This Was A Great Show I Watched It Every Night during the 1950s, No Race Or Bigortry Back In Those Days I Miss Watching Them today Great Comedy At Its Best.
Agree. What the heck happened?
Show Was Canceled During The Middle 1960s NAACP Put the Skids to the Show At the time I Thought It Was Foolish And Still do.. A Great Family Fun Show We all got Along Back In Those Days.
@@frankiedaymodels8529 Hello,
Research and read the history of the show and you will learn more about what really happened.
Then post the truth on here.
My favorite black sitcom!
So is Kingfish really the star of all the Amos n Andy stories? I never knew that.
MANY of us AGREE with your indication.
If you should ever find a purse with a gun in it,what would you do? "Pawn it in New Jersey". Hahahaha
I'm Literally in tears!!! LOL!!!
I wonder how much longer we will be allowed to watch this?
I wonder too. I may have to beat the bushes to find DVD's.
@@hollybardoe4075 this probably won't be on TH-cam very long. the squad or some other wackos will make sure of that.
"I reached in my pocket to get my wallet and shook hands with Mr. Stevens." I loved Mama's laugh in that scene.
They should've named the show "King Fish & Andy" or "King Fish's Adventures" because he was the true star of the show from what I see.
Stop showing this RACIST SLAVERy t.v. show
How demeaning for Black People.
It was racist ten and it is racist now.
Shame on who put on Step and Fetch it.
@@joycedavis8772 If we're going by THAT basis, Sanford & Son was even worse.
@@joycedavis8772 yer nuts
Joyce Davis - This show isn’t much different than “The Honeymooners” , except that Kingfish and Sapphire live in much better apartment than Ralph and Alice.
Joyce Davis This is black history you can't avoid it, all you can do is learn from it, and what I've learned from it is that we took the white man's mockery of us and we made it work in our benefit. What I love about my people is that we triumph from tragedy we make things work for us.
Thanks for uploading these episodes. True skilled acting and script writing. This was considered offensive 60 years ago, but when I think of the offensive, ignorant (c)rap music we listen to today, this show is actually a positive. The rappers of today look like the minstrels that Amos n Andy were accused of being.
Amen
O
No lies there.
The NAACP were wrong to push to have show canceled
I'm 69 years old, as a kid in the late 50s, I watched this show, never thought of it as 'racial' - I thought of it as a smart guy taking advantage of a slow (ok, maybe a little dumb) guy.

@@garyolafson8303 ditto. All In The Family, Beverly Hillbillies, Taxi, Cheers, Batman....
I agree but, I see the racial overtones. But to unemploy the cast was crazy. After all, the show is very entertaining. Hollow victory.
@@happyraccoon4791 Don't forget The Honeymooners.
Fantastic! "Pawn it in N.J.!" The Judge Later appeared in same Role/Robe! in "Perry Mason"Many times... fantastic job..thank you for posting this..many laughs.
I miss that show I watched it many many years ago and I enjoyed it and I enjoyed now
A great tv show
"...I reached in my pocket to get my wallet and shook hands with Mr Stevens."
HILARIOUS
One of the all time great shows
He said he met Kingfish about 18 years ago at a carnival, He reached in his pocket to get his wallet and shook hands with Kingfish.
That was absolutely hilarious!
A Collector of Wallets!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been defending Amos n Andy since the 1950s.This great cast is finally getting its due.
Kingfish is the original Fred Sanford.
Dexter Cumberbatch Lol, yep the big dummy
Fred Sanford wore a derby similar to kingfish's derby
Fred ain't got shit on amos
True. Redd Foxx said in an interview that he used to watch Tim Moore backstage when he would do his comedy. He would wait backstage with Tim Moore’s wife as a kid. He said he learned much of his stuff from him.
@@crystalgrose I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure there's an episode of Sanford &Son when Fred finds a pistol and gets into trouble when he tries to sell it to a pawnshop.
Amos and Andy were some of the funniest comedians ever!
Great talent and humor - clean comedy that cannot be found today. No profanity, porn or violence. Classic series.
These stories are solid gold great!
Kingfish is the coolest!
I have for years heard of Amos and Andy and was told it was racist for lack of a better word well maybe I missed something cause if you ask me that was great I had to change my pants I laughed so hard good clean comedy no profanity the best part is when he says he would pawn the gun in New Jersey
In today's T.V. "world" this show would win EVERY award and be runaway number 1 show!!
Amos & Andy was a classic! This was real humor . The trouble these guys got into was non stop. I PERSONALLY think its a real shame that the black community never embraced this show . What great writing and humor,not like the crap on Saturday Night Live . Boring .I thought Amos &Andy was more entertaining than the Honeymooners .
I am a sixty-eight year old white man, but when I was a child, I wished that Kingfish was my dad. Watching this reminded me of that time. I am sure the charisma and perfect comic timing and self-deprecating humor was part of it, but also, he was always attentive to possibilities real and imagined. He always chose better over good enough. He always reached too far, and never learned to submit. I also wanted a generous, strong and honest woman in my life like Saphire.
She turned her husband over to the cops. THAT is unforgivable.
@@babydriver8134 But under what circumstances? And it's just a show, after all.
I'm glad she turned him in.
The man came out of vaudeville, born in 1887! I can't see how this was racist in any way. It's so well written.
@ John Koester, Hello,
Enjoyed your post so very much. It is so touching to the heart.
The only thing I would do is remove the last two words from your post. The woman's qualities that you mentioned are certainly very commendable but not like Sapphire. She was different In my opinion. But I understand she was playing a role and did what was called for.
My favorite is the Kingfish.
This was Malcolm X’s and Muhammad Ali’s favorite show.
My mother and I loved this episode.
Years later "Sanford and Son" was a similar comedy
After seeing 'In Living Color' these episodes don't seem so "racist"! They were FUNNY! And I never thought of them as racist! I watched them with my dad back in the day!
I Agree ! They ( not sure who ) , said their episodes were demeaning to People of Color ? Watching the antics of some of the Black Athletes and Rappers .....are what I would call Demeaning and Disgraceful !
Mmmm hmmm. But you never heard that from ME!! Don't nobody say nothin' bad about the Kingfish!!
The actor playing the judge also played the judge in various episodes of Perry Mason.
Love the play on words. Thanks for uploading.
19:04 70 plus years later that is still hilarious
Awesome!
Did the show's producers decided on making Kingfish the star of the show despite not being in the show's title when they saw how great Tim Moore's facial features were(which couldn't be seen on the radio)?
This cast of Amos N Andy..Sad we don't have comics like this anymore..
Fun fact, the writers are the same guys who wrote Leave it to Beaver.
Another favorite from that era! Dennis the Menace too
Another writer, bob ross was an andy griffith show writer. Director charles barton directed some abbott and costello movies
Great show great actors funny and well written it's a shame it's not on TV in reruns right now. Better than anything you see on TV today.
I reached into my pocket to get my wallet and shook hands with Mr Stevens lol
What a great show
This show was a THOUSAND times better than all the lame sitcoms we've been subjected to over the years! The writing was great and the actors could deliver a line better than anybody else. They didn't just mug for the camera. I could see having white guys in blackface would be terrible, but why put these wonderful actors out of work? I remember this great show from my youth. I'm so grateful to see it again. Thank You!
Kingfish died at a young age, Passed in 1958
1957
My late dad used to watch this and many ones like it what classics they made in the early years 🤣🤣🤣
yep one of the old time favorite
“Hmmm. Is you ever heard of a cosmetic firm named Colt 45?”
I love this episode, I watch this 😍 ❤️ ovah and ovah!
These were excellent shows performed by a great cast who never received the credit, or salary, they very much deserved...
Hmmmmm. Him and Gleason were so great.
Man I ain't gone lie. Saffire was lowkey fine.
@@sheabutta5430 YES.
Pawn it in NJ.
Well I knew there was somethin' sunk...LOL
How do i get backto what i was watching? CVC
Thank you for uploading. It brought a smile.
This one‘s not as good as most of the others but it still gets you laughing.
