Loved John Amos, hated the propaganda piece Roots.

It aired when I was in middle school and all the "social studies" teacher were all atwitter over it. I found it preachy and unbelievable.

I tried to watch it when it first aired. I turned it off after the OJ Simpson scene. It was as you said, preachy and unbelievable.
