The 1950s began an era that was to bring Amos and Andy to a close as major American entertainment figures. Throughout the 1940s, the show went on, although the world had changed with WWII. The lawyer Stonewall, and the Kingfish grew to be nearly as popular as the originals. Through ups and downs in popularity through the 19s, they grew their characters and that world they inhabited. From Chicago they grew to national fame, and together, they made the world of Amos and Andy live and They were in character every minute they were on the air, they never looked at each other, they did the show cold without any rehearsal, and they used different mikes to get just the sound and emotions they were looking for.

If you want to see the comedic genius of Amos And Andy that set the standard for all situation comedies, this box set is a must have.Īll DVD's are BRAND NEW, professionally produced and come with a full DVD case, with artwork, labels and are 100% guaranteed.This show must be considered as what it was - one of the most popular shows in 20th century entertainment - on radio especially, as it even continued on TV with other actors. Sounds ridiculous, it is, but it happened. With that same thinking The Three Stooges, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Andy Griffith Show, Burns and Allen and countless other should have been canceled for being racist. Despite being the number one show on TV and having a predominately African-American cast portrayed in a positive light (doctors, lawyers, judges, opera singers, millionaires, business owners), a bunch of idiots petitioned to get the show canceled. When the TV version of Amos and Andy was created, the character “Kingfish†took the leading roll. The original Amos n’ Andy radio show mainly revolved around Amos n' Andy.
To this day, no radio show has ever had higher ratings or a larger audience. The radio show was and still is the most popular and longest running radio show in history.
Created, written and produced by Charles Correll & Freeman Gosden, who were also the original radio voices of Amos and Andy. The Amos and Andy Show was first broadcast in 1928 on radio. Still today all situation comedies are just Amos and Andy re-done.
