"Amos 'n' Andy" premiered on CBS in June 1951 with some genuine promise. Based on the decades-old radio hit performed by two white men, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, it boasted network TV's first all-black cast.

I'd be curious to know what it is because all I can find are Amos and Andy, then the Jeffersons and Good Times which is alter than A&A.

I'd say "Sugar Hill Times". It was an all black variety show that debut Sept 1949 and only lasted 4 episodes.

Got it, Georgia ! See the Internet Movie Data Base for more information. Also see Black Firsts, by Jessie Carney Smith, Viable Ink Press, p.38, and Ebony Magazine, Vol. 1, p268.
