This is why they terminated the contract with Amos. He wanted a comedic show but with a serious confrontation with social subjects. But already in the 70s producers had a preference for clown acting and catchphrases, so they gave more and more room to Walker.

They both gave us their blessings, but members of our church disapproved, and discourage her from marrying me. I later reconsidered our marriage. She was a feminist who wanted to wear the pants, and lead me, but I wouldn't allow it.
