If there are any racial connotations to this show, I'll eat my shirt. All I see and hear is great comedy about the human condition, black or white. Still hold up after 60 years.
Some stereotypes, but most shows even today still do that. I don't know what the NAACP wanted back then, but it seems to me they wasted the talents of all these actors when they were very pioneering.
Racist???? Everybody I see in streets are neatly dressed, all other than the main characters are well spoken, intelligent people. Racist only in the Eyes of the true, Racists...NAACP and Sharptons Ilk...comedy at it's best...
@ Kimberly Gray. Hello, In character, no I don't think she was happy. She could also holler and holler, criticize, put down, find fault, put relatives above her husband and was not a good example of what a wife ought to be toward her husband as an example in the community and not appreciative of his kindness. She was only nice sometimes when she wanted something. She should have been more supportive, encouraging, not talking harshly and a good example to the other women in the community. I have only scratched the surface here but it was all throughout the episodes. 0h, I know it is a comedy, my favorite and an excellent one which I enjoy immensely except the two women's characters (wife & m-i-l) which are over the top almost every time they appear in an episode. And I know that the root of good comedy from dysfunctional and faulty characters. So George not keeping a job was a part of that but the women's roles could have been toned down a whole lot more. One last thing-------George was always calling his wife by terms of endearment (honey, sweetheart, etc.). But she almost always only called him George.!! And finally, I thought Ernestine Wade had a beautiful voice. I loved to hear her sing what little bit she got to sing in the episodes. And I loved Tim Moore's voice also. I wish they could have recorded either singles or duets for purchase. Thank you.
I was 3 when Mr Moore passed and i am 63 now and this show is Superb really good
Magnificent cast in a great comedy classic.
Absolutely the greatest talent ever assembled for a comedy show!
Each actor brilliant in their own right. Calhoun my favorite.
These old videos should be properly restored digitally. The sound quality is terrible. They are worth preserving.
I just love this show Amos and Andy!
Great show !!!

can't remember any other time when actors developed their parts so well and so quickly;
Usagiynami
Moms

@@leegaither7199 Write that in English!
CLEAN and FUNNY. Not like the black comics today with their dirt and sex crap(not to mention the animal rappers). What talent and style!
I find it ironic that no TV corporations would touch this show with its reputation and yet TH-cam has no trouble playing ads in front of it.
TH-cam will put ads on anything.
Kingfish to turkeys: "Quiet! All of ya!"
And they did get quiet.
Amazing its early 50s.. better than 70s to 90s shows
"Just put yo' John Hamhock on dere."
poor Andy

Saffire was a very good actress. Very funny putting up with "The kingfish and very pretty.
Classic TV
Real comedy. Today no comedy just dirty talk..
ADOLF 😳
???????????????????????
@@yankeeland1I’ve heard black named Adolf. It is just a name and doesn’t make them a Nazi. You’re so ignorant and childish.
Saw this in my childhood. It was funny then and it's funny now.
Racist???? Everybody I see in streets are neatly dressed, all other than the main characters are well spoken, intelligent people. Racist only in the Eyes of the true, Racists...NAACP and Sharptons Ilk...comedy at it's best...
And the main characters are as literate as Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton. Just good, clean fun.
why throw rev in this, this was before his time. the gawd bothering negroes pressured the naacp to get this show axed. blame the fake xtians
Tawana Brawley. Sharton STILL owes America an apology.
