Oddly enough, calling Amos the moral center of the show hits the nail on the head as to why his character had drifted a little bit off to the side by the time television came along.

I wish the network would answer my letter and let me run old Supertrain episodes, just to see what would happen.

After that reaction, I hope you told her that yes, he DOES sing in blackface in the remake. "Youuuu, baby baby…oooooo baby baby now…."
