When Amos 'n' Andy came to television, the show starred, of course, black men and women, but I disagree that they played stereotypes anymore than actors on other television shows. Until Amos 'n' Andy came to television, I don't believe anyone ever said that Freeman Gosden or Charles Correll were playing the parts of black men it was assumed but never said. Please return a part of our history and renew the missing files, you are not God, let us chose what we wish to listen to, thanks. I never think of race when I listen to god humor ribbing of yester year, I just enjoy the laughs. I was surprised Amos and Andy were white, I learned on Wikipedia search, but not all the cast were white. We, in my generation use to have fun laughing at ourselves and each other, the laugh has been replaced with hate for one another, I'm glad I'm on my last leg and on my way out- pity those coming into this world of critics.

I love Amos and Andy, as much as I loved the tv show the Jefferson's "moving on up". we should respect all points of view and taste and not delete them from our world.

still can see some shows on youtube, if you have the ability, need to download them before they disappear. I was surprised the shows are being deleted, but, I was waiting for this to happen in this, "I know better than you, what is good for you" world. I do appreciate the work people on preserving Old Time Radio. All these influences pounding into my young brain and I didn't We were able to make fun of ourselves! No offense intended or taken!Īnd guess what? There are a lot of programs that mentioned God as well as other religious things. Jews, Italian, polish, and on and on, were all made fun of.
Many, many of these shows made us laugh / cry because of the good natured fun of diff. I can suggest that these "know what is best for me" people do some research into other old time radio programs. The people that find, in this case the evil racist goings on of this program, see things that they would do / would think, and project these thoughts / actions on others. I have found this to be almost always true in many of life's situations. Did I listen just for the enjoyment? Could it be that I missed all the dastardly racism?Īs another reviewer alluded to that the people yelling how offensive and racist these programs are, usually do it because of what is in their warped mind. So.due to the influence of "these racist shows" (sarcasm), I find it kinda odd that since I grew up with all manner of people, went to war with these same people, lived the rest of my life interacting with these people, that I am not a supreme racist.
Once again, hands down, Amos and Andy is still my all time favorite! So 15 +- years ago I started again, to listen to the old radio programs. My Mom would sometimes come in and tell me to go to sleep.Īlthough I always loved the radio, A & A went off the air, life churned away, and I didn't think much of it till PCs showed up, making access available for much of OTR. At first they came on past my bedtime, so I grabbed the radio, (rather large), hid under the covers and listened. I started listening to Amos and Andy when I was very young.
