Well, I noticed that the jewish people thought it was great. Not a good sign. It's a classic and I've listened and watched. I don't care for it but I understand and respect what Blacks had to do to be seen.
I like how the documentary starts. Very different intro than what I've seen. Smooth. History and integration of politics.

You have to purchase the star on the walk of fame. If that makes this subject anymore palatable.....it ain't free

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Never given the opportunity to actually see the show and knowing nothing about it before watching this documentary, I was glad to see all of the clips and wish there had been more. Let's just say the opinion of too many or not enough clips- well, it depends one's prior knowledge of the show.

Very funny. I think the show could have word-for-word been played by white actors with southern accents. Where I live, many people of all colors use the same dialect. I didn't find it offensive at all.

Like it, hate it, I do believe that everyone should be able to have the opportunity to see the show. Why does a special interest group get to tell us what we can and cannot watch?

Thanks, NAACP and other groups like the EPA, for taking all the joy out of our lives.

This documentary is well done. Although I'm not pleased with the aspect of Amos and Andy that demeaned african-american people, I thought the documentary itself was interesting and well-done from the documentary filmmakers perspective.
