I vividly remember my Dad bringing home a Pepsi cola and a Baby Ruth candy bar for me as we settled to watch Amos 'n Andy. Amos 'n Andy was far more than a TV comedy show. It was a place we as a family gathered and laughed together. My Dad's favorite character was Kingfish's mother-in-law. My Mom's favorite character was Lightnin'. My brothers and I were divided between the Kingfish and Andy. Whoever any one liked the most, they all were a unique "team" that probably had no idea what they were doing to America and have often wondered how many millions of Americans were laughing all over the country at the same time and enjoying entertainment by masters of their craft.
Tim Moore, Alvin Childress,Spencer Williams, and the rest of the cast are of the the great ones. They had no agenda. It was pure entertainment from some of the greatest talents we will ever see. I for one am so glad that I came along and actually laughed because of their God given ability to make people laugh. In the words of Tiny Tim, "God Bless Them Everyone." They are missed.
