	Amos & Andy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amos and Andy (also rendered as Amos 'n' Andy) was a situation comedy popular in the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s.
		Amos was naïve but honest, hard-working, and (after his marriage to Ruby Taylor in 1933) a dedicated family man. Andy was more blustering, with overinflated self-confidence.
		Amos 'n' Andy was one of the earliest success stories of radio syndication, and many stations besides WMAQ carried the program using prerecorded records.

	"Breach of Promise" -- An Amos 'n' Andy Serial
		Amos combines intelligent-though-unschooled working-class virtue with genuine compassion -- but he also has a sense of humor which sometimes borders on the snide, as well as a tendency to repress his anger until it suddenly flares up into unexpected fury.
		Andy, as was his usual custom, had represented himself to Madam Queen as a man of means, constantly exaggerating the scope of his business activities --- when in fact the taxicab company and a lunchroom opened by Amos, Andy, and Madam Queen's brother-in-law John Crawford were only moderately profitable.
		In desperation, Andy engaged the services of a local crystal-gazer, Prince Ali Bendo, to convince Madam Queen that an October marraige would be unlucky, and succeeded in convincing her to put off the ceremony until December 1st, although this success came at a price: Andy found himself being flmailed by the Prince.

	Amos 'N Andy Show
		The significance of Amos 'n Andy, with its almost thirty year history as a highly successful radio show, its brief, contentious years on network television, its banishment from prime-time and subsequent years in syndication, and its reappearance in video cassette format is difficult to summarize in a few paragraphs.

		Apparently, a large part of their (white) radio audience genuinely believed that Amos and Andy were fl, and were disappointed to see them onscreen, where they were obviously two guys in fl greasepaint.
		Somehow Amos the content married man didn't have as much storyline potential as Amos fighting tooth and nail to hold on to love (there was some real soap opera back in the day; it wasn't straight comedy in the strictest sense).

		At the time, the show was considered very demeaning to Black people, especially since it was the only exposure to Blacks that most of the country had at the time.
		We have transcended (or descended, depending on your outlook) from the "Amos 'n Andy's" through the Black exploitation films of the '70's and now to the era where Hollywood is making big money exploiting the Black experience by 'buying' our own brothers and sisters into the fold for a piece of the action.
		After looking back to the 'Amos 'n Andy's, I long for the days when we at least were mocked in better taste than we are today, and lament for the present.
