Kinda Concerning(?) Eagle
Posted 03 July 2012 - 02:43 PM
Greatest courtroom lawyer this great land has ever known. I'm saddened I never had the opportunity to pay him $20,000 to sit at my defense table and whisper legal advice in my ear. Twice.
147 years later...Texas is threatening secession and Lincoln still can't go the theatre.

He was an even better Sheriff. Did you see his staff? It's a wonder his county didn't burn down daily.
Now that I am an important person, I could give a rats ass about any of you
Somebody call me when facts replace speculation.
Down the corridor of years, we'll forget the joys and tears, but North Texas, North Texas, we love!

Really sad. I grew up watching the Andy Griffith show and Gomer Pyle on channel 21 when I was a kid. REALLY sorry to see him pass.

He was a favorite of mine also. His comedy record "What It Was Was Football" was a classic as were his TV shows, "Gomer Pyle", "Mayberry, RFD", and "Matlock". RIP, Andy.

Today makes me wonder. What will make my daughter sad in the future? The death of a Survivor season?

Probably the finale of Jersey Shore.

---Other than "Big Bang", today's comedy shows aren't worth much (my opinion). Can't watch all those reality things...cheap to produce. Andy Griffith show was 100% clean and anyone in family could watch, those don't exist now. .
I have two favorite teams--North Texas and whoever plays SMU next.

It is a sad day. But thanks to re-runs, we get to be with him (and his writers) indefinitely. His Andy Taylor character is a wonderful role model to aspire to........ both as a person and as a parent.
In the reports/tributes that are written about him, they always mention when The Andy Griffith show started (1960). Here is a triva question. The Andy Griffith character actually first appeared on a popular sit-com of that era (mid-to-late 50's). Does anyone know what show that was?

Ok, I'm not googling this. If memory serves, the pilot was actually an episode of another show in which the main woman character drives through Mayberry and gets caught in Andy's speed trap where he serves as both sheriff and justice of the piece.
I don't remember the name of the show.
