Oh, she was a lovely lady according to my partner, who was an assistant set designer for an off-Broadway play she was in during the late '70s. He liked her very much.
This show always has a moral. My friend named his dive service Mystic Knights of the Sea. He had all the episodes. The intro music fires off endorfines in my brain. These are superior to any sitcoms of today,bare none.
As the decades pass (I was born in 1950) it becomes more and more evident how good these actors were. They are a welcome relief from today's politically correct mandate and these actors are utterly genuine. They did not have the advantage of stellar photography (like I Love Lucy did) and these youtubes were probably mere kinescopes. But the acting does come through much louder and clearer than the 'ridiculous racist chant' of the NAACP's utter nonsense. - David Lyga
If you study the history of black performers, it will amaze one to find that many times, the NAACP actually impeded the careers of Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, Sammy Davis, Nat Cole and others.
Amos was the wise, serious character, often serving as a "Greek Chorus" (i.e., setting up the audience for what's coming, etc.). The voice of logic and doing the right thing. He was the exact opposite of the Kingfish.
Black people unlike Whites,do not indulge in " nostalgia;" however, we do " reminisce " and this series takes me back to youthfulness of mellow days and easy nights within " THE COLORED COMMUNITY "while STILL SHELTERED FROM THE ABOMINATIONS OF ABJECT HATRED AND HOSTILITY OF WHITE RACISM. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS SERIES WHICH CAUSES FOND MEMORIES OF MY FAMILY AND COMMUNITY LIVING , LAUGHING , AND LOVING TOGETHER .🙂👏

@@jimchristopher2340 that was already in our playbook of what whites would do to prove to themselves they arent racist amd are the true victims. Obama didn't do anything that would make white ppl upset. Had he ran on reparation he would have got almost no white votes. Obama was safe and litterally came out of no where. Planted.
@@MickyTubbs1985 great point...genius actually..we have voted for white presidents....you point? Can I use this line based on real truth...im promise I'll give credit when I use it.
@@MickyTubbs1985 you need to go out more often get fresh air I was enjoying this comedy until your foolishness comment it's a comedy not political a great comedy🙄
The confidence man was "Skillet" from Sanford & Son. Perfect casting. I hope that one day, we'll see a digitally remastered version of the show. The wonderful cast deserves at least that.
In various episodes kingfish has been in the donut business, diner business, press agent, super fine brush salesman, hospital insurance agent, artist, Baker University maintenance department worker, real estate agent, parking lot business, shoveling coal, shoveling sand, restaurant worker, pipe welder, sales department store delivery boy and Bell hop in hotel. SMILE!!!
The production of these episodes is flawless, they have a flow all their own. They were great as a kid and they are even better now.
I used to love the Amos and Andy show back in the old days, I still do now!
Just love this episode because the men are afraid of Sapphire. She is the one with the brains. Thank you You Tube for all the episodes.
Its momma you really gotta be scared of!
Another treat on a rainy day in the UK. This show never fails to make me laugh out loud. Please keep them coming and thank you.
This show should be easy to find. I love them too.
Me too! I'm watching it right now and I wish it would rain here in So. California . Good to hear your watching too.
A treat a treat really I’ll show what a treat is u come to Chicago

My father and I would watch this show when I was a kid. Great show, great actors.
Truth as comedy. Love it!
You got sinus trouble!!! When the steer mooed, couldn't breathe i laughed so.
Love Ernestine Wade. Bless her heart.

I find myself humming the intro music a lot .
What a great twist at the end. Great old comedy, that was taken off the air by PC.
Enjoy 🙂 God bless us all 🙏
I had no idea this show was so good

Always good, I love Kingfish, what a character
Me too... the history books misrepresented this comedic genius bigtime
"Son that's no way to act, you need to disrespect yo elders" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Read about Tim Moore's funeral, amazing turnout.
I love the way Sapphire forces the vote on who will be in charge of the money.
Sapphire is a cuity pie ? Ha ha
one of my favorites

Amos never gets as much dialogue as Kingfish and Andy.
Amos was the wise, serious character, often serving as a "Greek Chorus" (i.e., setting up the audience for what's coming, etc.). The voice of logic and doing the right thing. He was the exact opposite of the Kingfish.
Right on time!
Does anyone notice a very young Skillet from Sanford and Son talking to Kingfish in the foyer? Wow...

That'd a pretty wide generalization of white people who voted 2 times for a Black president.

BLESSED DAY STAY SAFE
@2:50 that I vote for Sapphire even got George's unanimous vote, hilarious.
The lawyer on Sienfeld reminds me of Calhoun. I think he might have taken some of his mannerism from him.
What a hat😂 Momma!
Great ending! HA!
Thanks reelblack .
I see know one
Recognized
Skillet as one of the confidence men. At the convention
Good catch
Good one! 🤣
she was SMART
Yes that when Black folks had dignity and character and work hard and didn’t blame someone else for their failure…I lived it..
How did they not see the horns on the bulls? 😂
Those were cows. They had udders. Cows have horns. Are you a cityboy?
Life could have been so easy for the cast if only Sapphire got to keep the money. That would have cut out half the episodes.
Wow
johnny lee would have made one hell of a preacher
😂😂😂😂.Good one.

Fun fact: Dr. Umar Johnson is a direct descendant of Mr. Higgins.
Umar is a joke
💕💕💚💚💙💙❣
Dam I thought this was 1935..lol
Very Funny
@7:10 the ladies are meeting in the covid room???
Not covid, it sounds like clover.
And for your information , many of the shows have been colorized recently.
All I have to do here is a search using the words Amos and Andy colorized
And the colorized episodes will come up on TH-cam.
.
I like both colorized and the original black and white.
@@maldijaili6799 clothing room, cloak room kinda of like a big foyer and dining area
How does the Kingfish earn money?
Lawyer?
He’s the head of the Mystic Knights and he also has various scams going. Sapphire’s usually working.
In various episodes kingfish has been in the donut business, diner business, press agent, super fine brush salesman, hospital insurance agent, artist, Baker University maintenance department worker, real estate agent, parking lot business, shoveling coal, shoveling sand, restaurant worker, pipe welder, sales department store delivery boy and Bell hop in hotel.
SMILE!!!
He was a con man. Unfortunately for Andy. Andy was his mark many times.
Like Jesse and sharpy
I thought the Honeymooners was so original, only to find that they copied so many A&A scripts.
I j
I have seen every Honeymooners and Amos n Andy episodes since
1928
I have never heard any similar writing
In episodes. I have every show on cds.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL! MY MOTHER WOULD NOT LET US WATCH THIS! BECAUSE IT MAY US LOOK LIKE IDIOT!
I watched this as a kid and still do so now. I NEVER thought what you say! and I am white.
