Synopsis

TV's first all-black cast starred in this 1950s sitcom based on the long-running radio show about the misadventures of a conniving lawyer, George 'Kingfish' Stevens, and his slow-witted friend, Andy Brown. The series stirred up controversy over the years, as many---including civil-rights leaders---protested against what they said were offensive racial stereotypes.
