Buftex Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Andy Griffith show is still one I could watch all day long! Before the Andy Griffith Show, he was in one of my favorite movies, "A Face In the Crowd", playing Lonesome Rhodes. Great movie, and very timely today...will leave it at that. I suspect Turner Movie Classics will replay it in his honor...highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. Also...he gained some accolades for his monologs...this is his best known...if I am not mistaken, it hit the Billboard Top 10 as a single...what brings us all here, football: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I42JIgfnMYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 He was the essence of the homespun country feel of the 60s for me. Loved that character. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 He was the essence of the homespun country feel of the 60s for me. Loved that character. RIP There were a handful of tv shows from that era that had a sort of "unspoken" realness about them,even if the stories were a little hokey at times. "Leave It to Beaver" is another one. Griffith really was a first rate actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Damn..Goob just died like a month ago. In college, when everyone debated Ginger V.Maryanne......we debated Helen Crump v. Thelma Lou Beasley...I was always a Helen man. hmm, maybe why I always say yes in the hot for teacher threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was by far the best show in the history of television. RIP Andy. Mmmmmm, good cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He's no Bob Newhart, but he's good. ) Guess Barney can finally get his one bullet back from Andy again and he can get the keys back from Andy to allow Otis out after one of his benders. Heaven's finally safe again, though Danny Thomas might want to watch out for the speedtraps. RIP Sheriff Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 RIP Andy. So which was better, the Andy Griffith Show or Matlock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie and Helen appeared together. As a matter of fact I think it was Andy and Ellie that hooked up Barney and Thelma Lou that might be the only episode though. I really know that show. Oh and of course it's Ellie over Helen. She had access to all the drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Finally turn on the news here and ut is all over. It was set about 45 minutes away from me. The show still airs 2 or 3 times a day on CBS during daytime; 1pm, 530p, and maybe one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
