Reaching way back, I thought that the "Amos 'n Andy" show was pretty good. 
It was a lot like a precursor to the Honeymooners, with similar crazy 
schemes and even a lodge hall (The Mystic Knights of the Sea), all in a 
black setting.  I have heard that this is not likely to be rerun because some 
of the black people in it are made to look like fools.  Actually, the 
majority of all people on TV are made to look like fools.  
Ironically, when our society has advanced far enough to let 
this be rerun, it will probably indicate that racism is really dead and
blacks have entered the "mainstream".
