Im glad more people catching on to the genius of this show lol
I agree! It really was genius. Probably the best sitcom to ever play in tv, and, I’m including The Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy!!!
Been watching Amos N Andy show since I was a kid and still get a barrow of laughs down to this day. This is classic black comedy at it's best.
I had this type of neighbor in 1971. His name was Mr Pritchard and he borrowed stuff like nobody's business,
I was at 2141 Alta street apt 9 and he was in apt 10!!!
lol kingfish meets his nemesis. love these guys so much, we never got this show in the UK, people have missed out on a real treat.
Kingfish is pure comedy
Classic clean comedy with great production and exceptional acting.
All the actors have passed. Love this show.
I do believe that the presentation of Amos and Andy is the very best of all of the presentations that are in the vi
In the videos
I love this show. That Calhoun is just wonderfully talented, very unique. All of them r just the best. Hard to say who is the best. The writers are the same that did the I Love Lucy shows . So many funny skits.
Johnny Lee was an incredible actor.
I think Johnny Lee was hands down the best actor of everyone who participated on this show. They were all GREAT but he just had that something extra. His timing, his delivery, he was just a genius.
That’s so. Funny. The fourth grove Andy the fourth groove !!🤣
I agree I love all the shows.
😂😂 2:04 - 2:10 "Hmmm! It looks like when the cat was away, the mouse took a gander"
“Trying to keep him quit with this cow bell “my goodness where have all the writers gone
Thank you for posting these. Great sound and picture. These shows are the best, not trashy like today's "shows." You can watch them with family and not be embarrassed to do so.
Thanks so much reelblack for bringing these back.
This is extremely intelligent and incredible work
I love Amos n Andy. I have a full DVD set. Whenever I want to laugh I watch them. Hilarious.
George: "Hmmmmmm..." 🤣🤣😂
Come to your Uncle Kingfish, my little lease breaker 😄
Wow that baby is 68 years old now if still living.
Wow!
Now you no how your grand parents came up .
69
Yeah, what does that Ask?
That was supposed to be us
FYI/ The a capella show theme is beautiful . It’s Gaetano Braga’s “ Angels Serenade” originally written for Piano and Violin
As a kid I thought that was the weirdest theme music always made me wonder.
I wish they started 5 years earlier, so there would be more episodes, and maybe even a movie.
I watched Amos n Andy back in the 50s with my dear old dad, it was funny then and its funny now. it has not aged one bit, other than the fact that the quality of the comedy, is far better than anything now.
Proverbs 4:23 💝
“Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.”
This show is about non-denomenational Freemasonry. I love that hes the Grandmaster of his Lodge ......its a nice fresh break from Christian influenced shoes of today.
"You think it's gonna be cold in the park next week?" 😂
I love all the Freemason Lodge and Fraternity references .......
This was a show the entire family could watch, I watched it with my family; great grandmother 72yrs, parents early 40's and my siblings ages14&7, I was 9yrs. Mid sixties.
My sides hurt from laughing 😃 😀 😄!!@
Sixty dollars a month. I think I'll find a nice quiet cave and have a good long cry!
I almost spit up dinner on " must be the chicken pox"
That's Riley who is playing the landlord he was Riley on Amen with Sherman Hemsley.. wow
Rolly
@@angelabarry4053 yes Rolly, TY wow was he young. This was awesome 😎
His name was Rollie not Riley
Yes that was him and he aged well because even though he's younger here you could tell right away it was him.
Jester Hairston deacon on Amen with Sherm Helmsley/Deacon Frye. Also Rosetta Lenoire/Carl Winslows mom on Family Matters
Great movie 🎥
Televisions were very pricey back then, amounting to over a month's average salary during that era; as they went for $300 ~ $500. Adjust for inflation, that would be over $3K ~ $5K in 2023.
When adjusted for inflation and the quality to be had with current TV sets in 2023, the TVs nowadays are terrific bargains.
Isn't the landlord rollie from aman?
Enjoy the endings of each episode. The language of imagination, slang laughter just humor.
His neighbour's are true grifters.LOL
BLESSED DAY STAY SAFE
Good Morning have Blessed Day to.
@@lissiechamberlain7173 Thank u 😃
kingfish kicks butt.
Seems it was fish guy who wanted to scam his stuff...but was beat to it!
She got him each thing 😂 he asked for 😮
George kingfish stevens?!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but you are wrong, we did get them in the UK. I use to watch them with my dad on the BBC in ENGLAND 1950s TV. we had a TV set purchased in 1953.
where is amos, is he alive?
Amos played Rev Tremble on Sanford n Son, also the reverend on Good Times when James found all that money from Borgen's market
1953? They must be colored
LOL 🤣😂😅
This was a great show I enjoyed as a child but the NAACP thought it made black people look demeaning and lazy. Just another stereotype but it was a good show that if I can catch reruns, I watch.
The show and the actors were genius that went unnoticed for years . As for the show casting black people in poor light , even Calhoun was an attorney, better educated than 99% of America.All the other black professionals were portrayed as bright competent people. Archie bunker wasn’t a shining example of white people, so what it was funny
Was NAACP wrong. Many including black commentators say. Yes
@@windstorm1000this show was unfairly canceled to impress the naacp boulies, every person, cast member, guest characters had a job, all the doctors, lawyers, nurses, elevator operators were black, no cursing, booty meat shaking, gun violence trying to make that shit funny. The naacp was for the uppity boulie negroes. Roy Wilkins was a super house negro.
The NAACP was completely wrong. This show is great!
Sound like a baby chicken
White Flight Episode lol...
This comedy show was excellent and especially exceptional in the early days of television. The REFUSAL of the" caucasian transition " of the characters portrayed by those during its halcyon ' radio days to what was SHOWN IN ACTUALITY is a positive and poignant REASON for its success. The show is STILL GREAT for ACTUAL SHOWING how RACIALIZED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLACKS and WHITES WAS( and unfortunately STILL REMAINS RELATIVELY HIGH)IN THE MINDS OF WHITES.
In its time, this show was an embarrassment to most blacks and greatly disparaged.Both Amos and ANdy were considered stereotypical, negative examples of black men.
No, not ALL, But, yes largely what's on television, cable, Netflix etc. Jazz is still great though, and so is Alvin Ailey, and DADA.
You're viewing it through the lense of 2021.
When this show aired there was not much other context about the lives of Black People. Many Black people resented this because they were openly treated as second-class citizens and wanted to present themselves at their best at all times,and that included professional, intelligent, Black men that were competent. While there are many funny episodes, they are funny because WE know this is not the entire scope of black life, and are not living under the harsh conditions of that time, that were largely based on stereotypes about who we were. However, there are also equally problematic ones. At the time it was in many ways a stereotypical representation of Black People. On of the main characters is barely literate. Men are still straightening their hair, and so are the women, both characters continuously scheme and more often than not fail. Much of the comedy comes from laughing at them, as opposed to them seemingly also being in on the jokes.
Every serious person in the show i.e. judges, lawyers, doctors etc. were portrayed by blacks. Kind of ruins the overarching point of your unlettered rant.
I think the show could not over come the stigma of the radio show and the movies of the 30s may be they should have used a different name,the thing the buzal me that amos is he wearing black face or is he not?
he is.
@@KAVALETTI Amos wearing black face? I never noticed that.
The boulies(uppity negroes)of the naacp had this greatest of sitcoms canceled. What an injustice.
This show was soo awful..every negative stereotype put on display.
I mean it was canceled for that very reason.
So is all of the stuff on TV for us today. #SameOlSong
Condemnation is EXTREMELY, and EXCEEDINGLY EASY when " judgements of " contextual conditions " are not considered ,and WORSE misunderstood due ignorance
Most shows created for television except for a very few exceptions Dr. Bill Cosby show and the Diana Carol show and the television show Living Single were amicable and great programming.
But I tune in when this gentleman presents this program and I enjoy it . I grew up on Good Times and The Jefferson . This is an upgrade as far as I am concerned although I loved the Jeffersons but hated Good Times.
