<p>I am not a fan of the original movies or radio show for "Amos and Andy", but the television show was great. I do not believe that those shows were more racist than the shows that they have today. </p><p>The premise for those shows were similar to the "Honeymooners". The King Fish was always trying to get over on someone and have a scheme to get rich quick. Andy somehow always got involved in the scheme. I believe it was one of the first shows with an all black cast. If you ever get a chance to see one check it out. I am suprised BET or TV1 has not shown them. </p>

It's unbelievable the 2 "black" main characters are white actors in black face.
