"Actually, Amos 'N' Andy was/were on radio, in one format or another, from 1928 until November of 1960, a total of 32 years. During the last five years they did a nightly 30-minute show that featured music between the bits. For television, 78 episodes of The Amos 'n Andy Show (which centered more on the character George 'Kingfish' Stevens, played wonderfully by Tim Moore) were produced between June 1951 and April 1953. They aired in primetime on CBS until 1955 and then in syndication until the mid-1960s. See? I do read your blog! And really enjoy it. 'Cept for all that Cubs stuff. A White Sox fan forever."
BD is correct (about Amos & Andy, not the White Sox). The radio show carried on until 1960. It was only the TV show that was canceled on this day in 1953.
