Amos 'n' Andy is a situation comedy based on stereotypes of African-Americans and popular in the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s. The show began as one of the first radio comedy serials, written and voiced by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll and originating from station WMAQ in Chicago, Illinois. After the series was first broadcast in 1928, it grew in popularity and became a huge influence on the radio serials that followed. The program ran on radio as a nightly serial from 1928 until 1943, as a weekly situation comedy from 1943 until 1955, and as a nightly disc-jockey program from 1954 until 1960. A television adaptation ran on CBS-TV from 1951 until 1953, and continued in syndicated reruns from 1954 until 1966.

Never.This was one of the funniest sitcom of the 1950's and unfairly labeled as racist. the cast was great and it's too bad that most are unknown today.

There is some re-runs in some third world countries still but not in the U.S.A. which is now considered it "politically incorrect". But it just blacks taken advantage of blacks. I watched the show as a child and though it was similar to Laurel and Hardy shows. But now everything is filtered on the prime directive - "Politically correctness".
