Hey, I Don't Remember This Show: The Beulah Show
The opening credits and a brief excerpt from The Beulah Show, one of the first sitcoms to star an African-American actress. Ethel Waters would play the title role from 1950 to 1951, only to later quit the role and be replaced, first by Hattie McDaniel and later by Louise Beavers. And yes, that is actress Butterfly McQueen from Gone with the Wind playing the role of Beulah's friend Oriole.
