Short summary

Stories mostly centered on The Kingfish's schemes to get rich, often by duping his brothers in the Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge. Andy was particularly dupable. Amos mostly narrated.

In the documentary Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy (1983), Alvin Childress (Amos) said that he never felt that the show was that negative of a portrayal of blacks since it was the only television show at the time that showed black people as businessmen, policemen, judges and doctors rather than maids or janitors.

Despite decent ratings, CBS pulled the show when the NAACP complained of how they believed blacks were being depicted on this show. The syndicated reruns were pulled from circulation in 1966 after similar protests.

After the show was canceled with 65 episodes, CBS wanted to syndicate the reruns but felt that they needed more shows. The cast was brought back to film an additional 13 episodes to premiere in syndication. These episodes were originally to be titled "The Adventures of Kingfish" but premiered with the "Amos 'n Andy" rerun package instead.

Among the changes made for this television version was to make the characters more middle class. The Fresh Air Taxi Company was changed from the old rundown model T to a later model car with Amos's uniform and office being neat and tidy and always presented as professional.

Sapphire's mother (Kingfish's mother-in-law) and Madame Queen were played by real-life sisters and veteran actresses Amanda Randolph and Lillian Randolph. The Randolphs played their same roles on the original radio show.

Episodes were shown to an audience whose reactions were recorded and edited into the show.

In the documentary Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy (1983), Charles J. Correll's son Rich Correll stated that one of the reasons Spencer Williams was cast in the role of Andrew H. Brown was because he looked a lot like Charles Correll in blackface.

In order to assemble their dream cast, the producers enticed veteran performers Tim Moore (George "Kingfish" Stevens) and Spencer Williams (Andrew Brown) with very lucrative (for the time) offers, as both had already retired after long careers in show business.

The NAACP was so outraged by what it considered extremely negative stereotypical portrayal of black people in "The Amos 'n Andy Show," that it fought with CBS almost immediately upon the show's TV premiere in June 1951 to get the show off the air. They finally succeeded in 1966, when the show was removed from syndication. No episode of "Amos 'n Andy" has been aired on television since that time. The only viewing of any portion of the show since its removal from the airwaves were the clips from various episodes included in the documentary Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy (1983).

The original radio series had been one of the biggest hits for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). This television version was run on the rival Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).

Creators Godsen & Correll planned a revival of the series in 1956 in which they would appear in split screen with the cast.

James E. Wall was the second choice to play Kingfish.

Redd Foxx (Fred Sanford) was a fan of this show. The series featured several cast members that would later appear on Sanford and Son. They include Lillian Randolph, Kim Hamilton, Ernest Mayhand, Bobby Johnson and Alvin Childress.

For more than two decades, the voices of Amos, Andy and the others (performed on radio by white actors Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll) had become familiar to a large segment of the American public. In choosing actors for this television version, they wanted to find competent actors whose voices sounded close to the already famous character voices from radio. Alvin Childress's natural voice sounded very close to Freeman Gosden's Amos, Spencer Williams sounded, and even looked, like Charles J. Correll's Andy. Tim Moore was able to duplicate the vocal performance of Kingfish (also done on radio by Freeman Gosden).

Throughout the series, Kingfish is kicked out of his apartment seven times. Each time he carries his painting of a smiling pirate over his arm.

Nick Stewart was fired during the last season. Stewart also hosted Ebony Showcase Presents (1953), a variety show from the theatre Stewart founded. The producers felt that his commitment to his theatre was interfering with his work on this series. They wanted Stewart to leave the Ebony Showcase but he refused.

I've just watched a documentary on African-Americans on television which showed several clips from "Amos and Andy". It got me thinking about this show that I watched when it was syndicated in our area 40 years ago. For the record I am a middle-class white male, but I don't think it really matters that much. I haven't seen an entire episode in decades but my memories of the show seem to be similar to others so I will trust them. I too, agree that the show has something of a bad rap but I think the reasons why are interesting.

I agree with the several posters who have compared this to "The Honeymooners", which was obviously influenced by it. You have the men out front, not as smart as they think they are, hatching various schemes to make their dreams come true or cover up their missteps while smarter females lecture them for their foolishness when the smoke clears. Things like the lodge they belong to are obvious parallels. If the Honeymooners could be a classic, why couldn't Amos and Andy? The characters are not servants or shoe-shine boys. It's whole black community. I remember noticing that all the characters were black when I was a kid but just regarded it as a peculiarity. If the show taught me anything about blacks is that they are just like everyone else. Is that harmful? I agree that the fact that the series gave black performers jobs is not an "excuse" for racial stereotyping. But just search the IMDb for a look at the actor's careers after this show ended. Spencer Williams's career basically ended. Alvin Childress showed up on Perry Mason as a janitor. Tim Moore was blacklisted, (an ironic term). There's something to be said for employment.

So why is this show linked with Stepin Fetchit or "Rochester" as an example of black stereotyping such that it's been essentially banned from TV for four decades through the efforts of the NAACP, (ironic that Moore was banned by rightists and his show by leftists)? Firstly, while it does present an entire black community, it does use traditional elements of black humor- exaggerated dialects, references to lazy or untrustworthy characters, etc. However the same elements are present in later "black" shows such as "Good Times", which were not banned.

Perhaps a stronger reason was that the show was created and performed on radio by two white men, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, who had appeared on film playing the characters in blackface. That further links the show to racist stereotyping and illustrates that its genesis was certainly in the white man's view of comical black men. However subsequent documentaries have indicated that Gosden and Correll were anything but racists themselves and were respected by their TV counterparts who went on to make the characters their own in a series that was much toned down from the radio show.

I think perhaps the biggest problem with Amos and Andy is that it was the only show that attempted to depict black life in America in the 1950's. Whites had Joe Friday and Paladin and Dr. Kildare, so when they watched Ralph and Ed they didn't look at them as representatives of the white race. They just looked at them as a couple of funny guys. Blacks had no Joe Friday or Paladin or Dr. Kildare so these comic characters became their symbol. When it came time to move on, they were left behind.

Seeing the amos N andy show in reruns when i was 5 in the late 50's in new york, i remembered some of the funniest shows I had ever seen. Having recently obtained the 73 shows known to be in existence, I am still laughing uproariously. It is a shame more people have not been exposed to these fine actors and the hilarious sketches they perform. It is also distinguished by the first show in TV history to have blacks perform in white collar occupations such as judges, lawyers, business owners and the like. if the Kingfisher isn't one of the most talented comedians in early TV, i don't know who is. The rubbery face and big sad eyes made him perfect for this part. The kingfisher was not the main performer in the radio program, but became so in the TV series. He is really the first actor to become prominant in a TV program where he was not intended to be when the stories were originally written. much the same as fonzi became the star at Happy Days. if you do not see these most funny shows, you are missing some of the early and funniest history of TV.

I have 78 episodes on DVD. The characters are incredibly Funny. I'm a white man & feel like most others. The show is comedy not a documentary. The humor is harmless. I don't think that the honeymooners depict a negative image of white folks. Compare the 2 shows, the constant scheming, the outfits, the lodge, etc... Most average folks in those days were real poor & related to the humor. I don't know about you, It's a shame some people are that defensive That they can't laugh at show anymore & put it in perspective with the times it was created. It should still be available on T.V. Like the other classics.I love it.

When this show was attacked for being politically incorrect, I had a visceral reaction of anger, as I used to love it when I was a kid. The actors were so warm to the audience, watching the show was almost like having a personal relationship with them. As a true friend, I have to resent the harsh accusation that "Amos 'n Andy" created dangerous racial stereotypes.

The characters from the show are no more racial stereotypes than any of the other popular characters of low comedy on TV, such as Lou Costello, Baciagalupe, Ralph Cramden, Stan Laurel, Private Doberman, Uncle Tonoose, Gomer Pyle, and a host of others. Maybe the problem is that "politically correct" critics object to low comedy of any kind. Or perhaps they are irrationally blaming the makers of "Amos 'n Andy" for the fact that black actors have never gotten enough serious roles from Hollywood.

Hostile music critics have voiced similar complaints that much of blues and folk music is politically incorrect, that it demeans a race of people by creating "primitive stereotypes." In both cases, I find the criticisms offensive because vaudeville style comedy and blues singing are arguably among the greatest contributions America has made to world culture.

The critics of "Amos n' Andy" would do better to take a shot at recently made crime movies set in the ghettos of today, which contain some of the most evil and offensive racial stereotypes ever put on screen. "Amos n' Andy" never intended to offend!

As a child, I grew up watching Amos 'N Andy shows each week as they were produced. At the time I knew I just liked the antics of "The Kingfish". He was the main star even though the title of the show only depics Andy Brown (occupation unknown) and Amos (the cab driver) as the main characters. The acting troupe were absoutely a perfect combination. Tim Moore's character of The Kingfish was brillant! I remember so many laughs. They were happy laughs, not of racism but just a child seeing a good show. I do not know who owns the rights to the shows now but I have heard that they were removed from being broadcasts again for the wrong reasons. Redd Foxx is more racists than Amos 'N Andy ever were. These shows were "A1" wholesome in my book and should be enjoyed again by the next generation.

When I was a kid, I loved to watch Amos 'n Andy on my local independent television station. It was preceded by The Three Stooges Comedy Hour. Then Amos 'n Andy was canceled because the NAACP decided for me that I would think all black people are like the characters on the show. But I didn't believe that anymore than I thought all white people are like the Three Stooges. So, I could no longer watch one of the funniest comedy shows in television history. I also loved the beautiful theme song. It sounds very much like "Palermo." Anyone know the story of this music?

Obviously keenecd never saw Amos 'n' Andy when it was on TV. Ironically, his/her remarks on how the media manipulates our thinking regarding blacks seem to mirror how keenecd's school manipulated its students. Keenecd, you should sue your school, lighten up, and watch some truly great comedy.

They could not have put together a better or more talented group of people. Amos and Andy, and a lot of other shows from back then need to be on television now. Those would be reruns even I would sit down to watch. As far as it depicting ignorance, or the people being uneducated, just about all the shows were made on the same level from that time period. There was true comedy on T.V. back then. Look what happened in later years on television. Mr. Ed was smarter than Wilbur ever hoped to be, but, it made a good show.

This show ran in syndication briefly on Dayton, Ohio, TV about 1963-64. I can remember my brother and my sisters gathering around the little tube every day at 4 to watch. If you see it today, yes the eye-rolling, mangled English, and Lightnin's utter imbecility will raise hackles. But at the time we didn't notice it. We were so used to cartoons and sitcoms where the adult figures acted like buffoons; these were just buffoons who happened to be black. Besides, the cast of Amos 'n Andy and the situations they got themselves in were FUNNY. Funnier than Lucy. We couldn't understand it when the show stopped running.

One thing I thought odd: by this time in the A&A property Amos, recast as an upright cabbie, was so pushed to the sidelines by the shenanigans of Andy and the Kingfish that he was virtually a minor character.

After 2 years on the CBS Television Network, the video version of 'Amos 'n' Andy' found itself without a sponsor. The series was canceled. This was truly a shame, for it is indeed as funny as anything that has been on TV before or since.

Following an extensive industry wide hunt for the most talented and fittingly cast players to bring the longtime favourite radio series to the small screen, a special program featuring Hal Roach, Jr. and the creators Freeman Gosden and Charles Corell(all whites), was telecast to introduce us to the actors now playing the characters.

Pressure from the NAACP, whose position that the series, with its comical characters, was demeaning to Black Americans. The sponsor, Blatz Beer of Milwaukee, did not renew its sponsorship.We have always contended that Amos 'n' Andy no more represented a true picture of Black Americans than The Honeymooners' Kramden & Norton were meant to be an accurate portrayal of White Americans. They were both designed to make us LAUGH!!

The series was over, but went into syndicated re-runs which made most of us aware of these very funny episodes featuring such a great and talented cast.

I don't know of anyone who took the show 'seriously', for we all knew that Andy, Kingfish,Calhoun, Saphire, Momma, Madame Queen, Lightnin', etc. were all played for laughs, with Amos, his family and others providing a strong level-headed,serious counter balance.

Meanwhile, the Radio series continued, never seeming to attract any real criticism.

In the end, we the public were the losers; along with Alvin Childress, Spencer Williams, Jr., Tim Moore, Ernestine Wade, Amanda and Vivian Randolph, Johnny Lee, 'Nicodemas' Stewart and other Black players. They were picked from the best available talent, only to suffer a premature termination.

I remember an episode where kingfish was dressed as a doctor and his patient was, you guessed it,his mother in-law. As he prodded and poked at the old lady he sung a tune that went something like this; "You get the ax and I'll get the saw and we'll start hacken on my momma-in-law".If there were other words to this little ditty time has washed them from my memory but more then likely it is gone because every time I saw that episode I would laugh uncontrollably for minutes on end. A great show. I sure do miss those old shows and there is no way that kind of content can ever be done like that again. I think I read somewhere that "laughter is the best medicine for whatever is wrong in your life".

I watched a lot of these shows back in the 50's, and really enjoyed them. Kingfish was the funniest guy in the world to me; his scheming and garbling of the english language was a riot. And old slow talking Lightning kept me rolling to, he could have been used more for my money. Would like to see them again.

As a young man still in my 20s, I didn't grow up watching or listening to Amos n' Andy when it first aired. However, when I was in the 10th grade and spent a year with my grandparents in Mississippi in the early 1990s, I discovered this show for the first time. I heard some radio episodes first, and then saw several of the videos. I still think that this show has some of the funniest (and cleanest) comedy I've ever encountered.

One person commented that the black stars of the television series deserved equal recognition as the white creators of the radio series, including stars on the Walk of Fame. While I wholeheartedly agree that they should receive special recognition as the pioneers of black actors on television (and I won't deny that they should get stars on the Walk of Fame), I don't think it is accurate to say that the popularity of the series rests more on them than on Gosden and Correll. Perhaps you think that the radio series was fairly new when the television series began in 1951. On the contrary, Gosden and Correll had been playing Amos n' Andy on radio (and Sam n' Henry before that) since the late 1920s, and even played the characters in a 1930 movie, Check and Doublecheck. There was a time when movie theaters, in order to keep from losing customers, would actually stop the movie for 15 minutes each evening to play the Amos n' Andy radio show (what theater would stop a movie today for anything?). During that 15 minute period each evening, everything in the country went to a standstill, including water usage. Cops could walk down the streets and catch the entire show because they could hear it coming out of every single window. For many years, not only were Gosden and Correll the only writers (pumping out a fresh script every single day), but they also played every single character. It wasn't until 1943 that the series was was re-formatted to a 30 minute radio sitcom with a live audience, at least 15 years after the series began. So, as much as I love the cast from the TV series (many of whom had been on the radio series) and think they deserve proper recognition, the real credit still goes to Gosden and Correll, two white men who personally loved the black people and hated racism themselves.

As a young boy growing up in New York City, My brothers and I LOVED watching the "Amos 'n' Andy" show. They should show it when ever possible. I know it's on tape but it deserves to be seen on tv. When I watch it,I see it as good actors performing their skills, not as a stereotype race. It was seen like that many years ago by those who felt attacked by the show, but we are in a new era. The Show opened the doors for the now successful black comedy shows.

This was ( and still is) a funny show. It was removed from the air waves because the NAACP felt is was degrading. The truth is, it was not degrading to Black folks. The NAACP has managed to keep it off the air to this day. It is possible to rent some of these shows at local video stores. If you want to laugh, just rent them. They offer a timeless brand of humor, just as I Love Lucy & The Andy Griffith Show. Sadly, they are banned from modern television. The actors on this show were comedy legends. The people who like to rewrite history love to say that Julia was first TV show with blacks, yadda, yadda, yadda.... It gave everyday, regular work to loads of Black actors, who never had it before or after. Even Jesse Jackson pronounced it as non-racist in the PBS documentary "Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy"(1986). If Jesse Jackson himself says it is not racist, then what more can be said?

This is one of the funniest TV shows of all time.It is a shame that it was taken off in 1963.I was about 10 when I began watching the re-runs.I love them just like Abbott & Costello,laurel&Hardy or Ralph & Norton.They made me laugh hysterically and I wouldn't have cared if they were all green!In 1 show they go before a judge and the judge is black,.they by mistake remove clothes from a wrong apt and he's the Chief of Police,.he's black..Kingfish's Uncle comes to visit and he's a successful wealthy businessman from the South.This is simply one of the greatest shows with a BRILLIANT cast of the most talented people..'GOD BLESS'them all!!

While acknowledging the fact that this series does contain certain racial stereotypes, I think that it is important to recognise the impact that "Amos and Andy" had on the American public during its radio broadcast history. This was the most popular series on radio: theatres were known to stop projecting their features so that the audience might listen to the program. This program was radio's equivalent (in popularity) of "I Love Lucy." So far as the video version is concerned, yes, the characters were often portrayed as idiots, but has anyone ever seen "The Life of Riley", "My Little Margie" or "The Stu Erwin Show" (all from the same era), in which the main characters (all white) were blithering fools? The series must be considered within the context of its time.

Amos 'n' Andy was one of the first television shows that I remember seeing, when I was a kid. It was a wonderful show, carried out in a clean and simple fashion. There were no vulgarities nor innuendoes to embarrass anyone who might be watching the show with you. Great credit and respect should be given to the cast of this show. It far outclasses shows such as "Sanford and Son", which relied a lot on off-color remarks and suggestions.

I grew up watching this show and my family is still amazed that I can quote some of the dialog. The show was funny no matter what color the actors were. The format for the show changed when it went from radio to TV. Amos was hardly in the TV show, and The Kingfish was really the main character. The Kingfish was a schemer and not employed. This was the main reason I think that the NAACP had a problem with the show. His wife was the breadwinner and was actually pretty kind to the Kingfish despite this. Andy was the dumb shmuck that was always the target of the Kingfish's underhanded tricks to relieve him of money. He once sold Andy a Hollywood set house that only had a front and took him on a cross country tour without leaving central park.

The Kingfish's mother in law was a hoot. She was on the Danny Thomas show later on. This show had a lot of real talent, and it's sad that it's not on TV today.

I watched "The Amos n' Andy Show" when I was a Child back in the 50's. There was some "Classic" comedy here. The roles that were played by Tim Moore (Kingfish), Spencer Williams Jr. (Andy), Alvin Childress (Amos), Ernestine Wade (Sapphire), Amanda Randolph (Mama), Johnny Lee (Algonquin J. Calhoun), Nick Stewart (lightnin), Lillian Randolph (Madame Queen), reminded me of alot of people that I knew as an African-American growing up in the Black Community. These Black Actors/Actresses were "pioneers" that made it possible for the "New Generation" of Black Actors that we see today. If nothing else, these "pioneers" PROVED that Blacks COULD ACT, Blacks COULD ENTERTAIN. They showed the dynamics of the Black mind. Furthermore, we as Black People understood that these were Actors playing ROLES, in fact, we laughed at them and laughed at their roles!! What is the problem!! We can laugh at ourselves!! Why do we have to try and "justify" a good feeling when we are entertained by some quality "clean cut" comedy that brings laughter that dosen't hurt anyone?? This show in the 1950's kept the Country Laughing & was rated #1 in 1951. Everybody I knew watched Amos n' Andy AND THEY LOVED IT!!! As I said earlier, If it were not for these "Pioneers", there would be no Denzel Washington's, Samuel L.Jackson's, Morgan Freeman's, James Earl Jones's, or Sidney Poitiers on the Big Screen today.

I saw this series, pretty much all of it, on TeeVee when I was a kid. I can speak from the remembered experience then as well as my reaction on seeing the series again now.

The role we expect film to take now is rather complex, but fifty years ago on TeeVee the very best one could hope for was to be transported to an unfamiliar place. Some TeeVee shows did this, "Twilight Zone," "Have Gun Will Travel" and this. For a white kid in the suburbs in the near south, watching urban blacks really was transporting.

There is a dummy involved, but no dumber than the typical TeeVee foil. There is a running gag the primary one where words are misunderstood and mispronounced. This was also typical, though I suppose one could argue that it meant something more venal in the context of an oppressed people.

But I knew none of that as a kid, and certainly knew nothing of the radio predecessor which was (I've read) overtly racist. But this kid saw a stable society of working folks, married and with good sense. This context was all the stronger with the one or two buffoons in contrast.

And many of the episodes were funny and clever to boot.

I think this is worth watching today simply because of the controversy surrounding it. Now the viewers get to confront themselves and examine one corner of this dark phenomenon. I still think on the surface that is vastly more ennobling than most of the black-created material of today. But I wonder about the women...

About twenty years ago I was one of the detractors of Amos n' Andy. For once, I stopped to listen to myself and realized that I really didn't know why I didn't like the show. I said all the usual cliches, but I still wasn't sure. I went to the Museum of Broadcasting in Manhattan and viewed three episodes. I laughed my butt off. All you have to do is take a look at Homeboys In Outer Space to see that Amos n' Andy was well written and well acted. It's a shame that it was taken off. As an African-American, I've seen a lot more offensive things on TV. Amos n' Andy wasn't one of them.

Outstanding television series originally from radio. It dealt with life among black people.

Though the show was an instant hit, it came at the time of the rising influence of the NAACP and other civil rights groups of the early 1950s. Through successful efforts of threatening advertisers with boycotts, the show was suddenly taken off the air.

How come we never heard such protests in the early 1970s with "All in the Family?" Certainly that show may have offended other groups but it was done in fun as was "Amos."

With characters such as the Kingfish, Andy Brown, Lightnin' and Sapphire with her mother, a memorable cast of great black acting talent was shown. Unfortunately, none of these talented thespians went anywhere after the show went off. I hate to use the pun, but were they blacklisted?

Yes, Kingfish was lazy and shiftless and he did try to fool Andy Brown with some of his outrageous schemes. Yes, Sapphire was a wife with a temper and her mother was memorable as well. How many groups can also boast having mothers-in-law like what the Kingfish endured? Plenty.

I vividly remember my Dad bringing home a Pepsi cola and a Baby Ruth candy bar for me as we settled to watch Amos 'n Andy. Amos 'n Andy was far more than a TV comedy show. It was a place we as a family gathered and laughed together. My Dad's favorite character was Kingfish's mother-in-law. My Mom's favorite character was Lightnin'. My brothers and I were divided between the Kingfish and Andy. Whoever any one liked the most, they all were a unique "team" that probably had no idea what they were doing to America and have often wondered how many millions of Americans were laughing all over the country at the same time and enjoying entertainment by masters of their craft.

Tim Moore, Alvin Childress,Spencer Williams, and the rest of the cast are of the the great ones. They had no agenda. It was pure entertainment from some of the greatest talents we will ever see. I for one am so glad that I came along and actually laughed because of their God given ability to make people laugh. In the words of Tiny Tim, "God Bless Them Everyone." They are missed.

Amos and Andy was absolutely hilarious thanks, in large part, to a wonderfully talented cast. Tim Moore played "Kingfish" a character who was constantly scheming to take advantage of his trusting friend Andy, played by Spence Williams. Other cast members included Ernestine Wade as Sapphire, Amanda Randolph as Sapphire's mother, and Johnny Lee as Algonquin J. Calhoun,a fast-talking lawyer. For its time, it was perfectly ok to portray blacks as generally poor and uneducated. But in time, civil rights groups would object to the way it depicted blacks in America. Many have said that it was no worse than Sanford & Sons which portrayed a man and his son who ran a junk yard. In its own way, I believe that it broke ground that would help pave the way to more responsible programing for all minorities.
