I was 6 in 1951 it was a big year for my family dad put in a septic tank system and we did away with the outhouse and the chamber pot gone also was the icebox we got a general Electric refrigerator and our first 📺 is was a 17in Admiral and also a 1951 Studebaker champion, pop got a good job at consolidated building the B-36 life was good in the 50s.

Truly the greatest comedy of all time! I loved these folks! They are a tribute to comedy and truly fine actors. Shame on ANYONE that plays this as racist, it has nothing to do with race, what it DOES have to do with is comedic GENIUS!! I've followed them since their radio days.

I was born in 1975 and I guess you could say I am from generation x which places me at a whole different time from this show. Many years back I discovered this show and fell in love with it! This show got me through some hard times in my life alongside of the Marx brothers. . I would say that it has to be one of the best shows of the 50s next to the honeymooners skit. I love these guys. Little fun observations, Ralph Kramden works as a bus driver and lives in a dump, Kingfish doesnt work at all and has a nice apartment lol Another one is, the show is called Amos and Andy and if you remember the movie Check and double check played by the shows creators, Freemon Gosden and Charles Corell which is based on the radio show, The show centers around Amos and Andy but on this 50s TV version its mostly Kingfish and Andy. I will always love Amos and Andy and thanks for posting these. I actually bought every episode on video tape back in 2002.

This blows away today's TV. The whole cast are wonderful. They are dearly missed.

I was looking up black sitcoms and came across this. This is hilarious 😂😂 we need more black sitcoms, more laughs please

[@pennypacker77]

Amos and Andy is brilliant and funny as hell, and screw anyone who begs to differ. I watch it all the time, and I wish the original master copies of all the episodes would finally be restored and remastered so that everyone can enjoy this excellent show. This is no different than Car 54 and the Honeymooners. Only bigots would take one look at this show, without actually watching it, and call it offensive and racist

Never thought I’d see this again. I’ve looked for it for what seems like forever. I grew up on the Little Rascals Spanky and our gang Amos and Andy Kingfish~ all of that; and then the liberals deep-sixed it. It wasn’t politically correct. They now tell us what to do how to do it what to eat what what to say what to drive how to raise our kids -or else. So this is like a Renaissance for me~ this is fabulous. My greatest thanks to whoever took it out of the archives (PS~The 50s were heaven compared to today!)

[@bonniekimbrough7661]

So much better than the comedies of today.

[@CECEQUEEN4LIFE]

I remember Kingfish leaving a massage saying “” I’ll get back to you at my earliest inconvenience”” LOL

[@richardhudak4571]

I remember watching him back in the early 50s I'm 73 n still enjoy the videos

[@SlyDellian]

Just when I thought I’d seen every episode, I ran across this one today. This is one of the best yet, and the surprise ending is brilliant!

[@monicasmith9215]

My mom's, use to laugh so hard off of these sitcom 2022 March 🤣😅🤣

[@larryferguson3387]

I loved the Kingfishs antics, always into something!

[@therenaissancepiper]

Love this show. The best of true comedic genius!

[@juliefelsenthal8461]

I love Amos and Andy. I watched it as a child.

[@curtis776]

Good and funny show! All great actors!

[@seahunt6055]

My oldest brother and I remembered watching these shows they were hilarious we used to rent them and watch. I still love to watch them

[@servraghgiorsal7382]

Back in 1964, I graduated high school Mother,older brother and I used to stop work and go to the sun porch and watch these folks. We laughed ourselves silly of course, ideas have changed, but this is some of my happiest memories.

[@JerriBerriBoBerri]

They were wonderful a must listen. I'm almost 82 and I grew up listening to them.
