I always thought that “Amos and Andy” was an insult to cavemen.

I always thought "Amos and Andy" got a very unfair rap--it was no more racist than "I Love Lucy" was sexist, and I found "Sandford and Son" to be highly racist in a nasty way, but somehow that show got a pass.

Remember the conniving Kingfish and the formidable Sapphire? The wise and even-tempered taxi-driver, Andy, who was always trying to rescue the gullible Amos from some scheme by Kingfish? (Although I might have Amos and Andy's names switched) I remember the characters as clownish, but appealing. Isn't the point of comedy to clown?
