Tell Me :

Yeah, I believe for the first year Andy Taylor pretty much was "Will Stockdale", and then the character seemed to get a little more "smarts". But regardless of the time period, I wish I was in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" and woke up in Mayberry. I would never want to leave (although they would have had to put in an extra bunk for me to get locked up with Otis!)

So true. It was so well-written and had a real POV - about generosity, familial love and friendship and accepting people with their faults and limitations.
And don't forget Barney's singing....
that was cool, thanks for sharing.
According to Wikipedia, she asked for a release from her contract.
That's where I know him from. Thanks Frank.
RIP Andy

Let's not forget Leon (Ron Howard's brother) and his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He was also in "Waterboy" with Adam Sandler.

The Andy Griffith Show is timeless and let's not forget Matlock. R.I.P.

He was brilliant in A Face In The Crowd. RIP.
One of my Top Ten Movies. And don't forget No Time For Sergeants. Andy's public persona did not tolerate hatred. Let's not use the passing an individual who gave the world a lot of warmth, to air political differences or call each other names.

RIP Andy, I think we all whistled that little tune in our lives. You made boys appreciate fathers.
Another loss to the show earlier this year "Goober Pyle":
George Lindsey (December 17, 1928 – May 6, 2012)

Andy Griffith - my favorite tv show. He showed us what a great dad should be. Too bad there weren't more like him. So sad.

Truly a brilliant show. If you think it is simply a rural "hickcome" as they were called back in the late 60's, you're missing a wonderful show. Someone earlier called it timeless - very true.

Incredibly profound and probably unfathomable to anyone who isnt American and over 40- The Andy Griffith Show in its black and white prime with Deputy Bernard P. Fife is ingrained at an almost cellular level with literally millions of us. Raise your glass to the late great Andy Griffith- see you in Mount Pilot!

Yep, Andy Griffith made so many people laugh and feel good. Can't count how many times I've watched re-runs of the b&w shows. He did a convincing job in his bad guy roles, which showed his versatility. RIP, Andy.
P.S. Can't understand why people would bring politics into his death. I thought that was relegated to news sites where people post comments turning everything political. I've always assumed it was because they weren't smart enough to post anything worthwhile.

A sad day, another icon gone from the era I grew up with.
RIP: Andy loved your humour, you would have made a good neighbour.

Who cares which prez gave Andy Griffith the Medal of Freedom. It was well deserved. Period. End of discussion.
Having grown up in Chapel Hill and being an alumnus of UNC, Andy has a special place in my heart. My dad met him several times at alumni get-togethers and always said what a stan-up guy he was.
Once I got my drivers licence, we would often drive down to Siler City, about an hour drive, on Halloween. Aunt Bea lived there during her retired years. We'd park down the street and go knock on her door. She never came to the door but her maid was always gracious, handing out copious amounts of candy! Aunt Bea was quite reclusive, unfortunately. JNever did get to meet her.
Met Ron Howard (Opie) once in Chapel Hill. Great guy, as well.
Anyway, ramblings aside, Andy Griffith, aka Sheriff Taylor, will be missed. R.I.P. and God bless.

I watch this show everyday. Thelma Lou, Ron Howard and Jim Nabors are the only remaining cast alive.

Miss Ellie Walker (ala Elinor Donahue), the cute and perky "druggist" from season one is still alive. They shoulda kept her- much much hotter than perrennial drag Helen Crump.
