What was the first predominantly black show on American TV?
Correct answer: Amos ’N’ Andy

Player Meyer
I never understood why it was deemed unacceptable. It showed hard working black people of various occupations (lawyer, cab driver, secretary, doctor, nurse, teacher). They lived in nice comfortable homes, obeyed the laws, and dressed well. It was hilarious. I see watch old tapes of the shows.

Player Meyer, They were pre minstrel shows played by 2 white men pretending to be black. They mocked and stereotyped black people. Same as Al Johson.

My dad and I both loved Amos ‘n Andy. I have the entire collection on dvds.

My father really enjoyed Amos and Andy! Player Meyer, I agree with you.

accusations of stereo typical behaviour is what prevented producers from airing any shows with people of color in the first place.
