After looking at the county map of the last election results, I pointed to the center of OK and told my family I wanted to move there...not a spec of blue to be found. Maybe that would be a good site for FReeperville. LOL.

It’s hard to believe that Andy and Opie are left wing wackos

It’s harder to believe America just voted in a Marxist Kenyan as POTUS .

You'd be amazed at how much crap you can do without if you filter your ‘entertainment’ based on the activism of the entertainer.

I started doing so years ago. And I realized how much pure and utter garbage I'd been wasting my time on just to kill time.

Sure, most people have tilt. But it is those who use their wealth and position as entertainers as a soap box to be an activist for a cause that I avoid, you know the Jason Alexanders (George Costanza) and Julia-Louise Dreyfus (Elaine, gave 38K to Obama on a single day).

Now I have much more time to spend studying and enjoying literature and pursuing other, less irritating interests.

I agree with you. I can’t watch without that little infusion of nausea. I don’t think I’ll watch Matlock ever again.

But in real life I’m sure they are as liberal as most other Hollywood Card carrying members.

Actually....Jerry Mathers is a gun owner and NRA member, and if I recall correctly, Tony Dow (Wally) and Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) has joined him from time to time on some NRA sponsored shooting events. AND Ken Osmond was a Police Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department for 18 years (1970-88), retiring only after he got shot in the line of duty (his belt buckle and bullet proof vest saved his life). Ken Osmond has also been married to the same woman since 1970.

"And the best part about it, Wally, is stopping cars with hot chicks in them, for no reason other than I want to get a better, closer look at them and get their phone numbers and addresses. And if their boyfriends give me lip, why, I just hit them upside the head with my nightstick...or cave in their headlights with the butt of my shotgun. Their chicks really go for it! You should see the look on some young kids face when I put the barrel of my revolver in their mouths! Some of them even piss their pants! Oh, hello Mrs. Cleaver, I was just informing young Wallace here about the many benefits of being a police officer..."

You will believe the U.S. Civil War II...It’s gonna be hard to ignore the infantry attacks, artillery fire and air strikes as the Patriots march on Washington, D.C. :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Opie and Andy endorsed Obamunism in 2008.

They can go screw.

Psst. TVLand is a Viacommie channel (as are MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, and SeeBS).

Turner and Viacom bought up the syndication rights to these programs years ago, and then moved them to their pay tv franchises.

It’s one thing to pay to own a series on DVD, it’s something else altogether to pay to watch the same programs on tv that used to be free AND still have to watch commercials.

Agreed.
I’ll give Andy a pass because he probably doen’t even know what he’s doing at this point.
As for Griffith’s illegitimate son Ron Hoawrd, that guy has taken to smearing a dead man, so nobody expects any better from him.

That was the one with sweet Ellie instead of grumpy Helen.

There’s a wide gulf between Andy Griffith and Andy Taylor. Griffith has been an active Democrat for years. He’s a big-time lib.
