The Amos 'n Andy Show (1951-1953)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043175/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043175/reference
30 min Comedy TV Series
Alvin Childress ... Amos (78 episodes, 1951-1955)
Spencer Williams ... Andy (78 episodes, 1951-1955)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043175/trivia
In the documentary Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy (1983),
Alvin Childress (Amos) said that he never felt that the show
was that negative of a portrayal of blacks
since it was the only television show at the time
that showed black people as businessmen, policemen, judges and doctors
rather than maids or janitors.
Despite decent ratings, CBS pulled the show when
the NAACP complained of how they believed
blacks were being depicted on this show.
The syndicated reruns were pulled from circulation
in 1966 after similar protests.
For more than two decades,
the voices of Amos, Andy and the others
(performed on radio by white actors Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll)
had become familiar to a large segment of the American public.
