How this season is filed

Filed by Vivian Cross · The Carpet Report

Amos 'n' Andy is the sitcom that forces the conversation: a mass hit and a civil-rights flashpoint over stereotypes, later shelved in reruns after NAACP protest. Watch it in 2026 as history, not comfort — a document of who early television allowed to be funny, and who paid the bill for the laugh.

TV Flash files Season 4 of Amos 'n' Andy (1951–1953) on CBS as the last listed season of 4 — 13 listed hours, 1955-01-19–1955-04-13 from “The Chinchilla Business” (S04E01) to “Story of the Invisible Glass” (S04E13). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.
