Any list without The Andy Griffith Show at the top or near is bogus.
I Love Lucy
Dick Van Dyke
Taxi
WKRP in Cincinatti
And no F Troop!?
I could actually hear my brain cells dying after every episode.
Any list without The Andy Griffith Show at the top or near is bogus.
I just rewatched this show. Something struck me as kind of odd. Nobody, in a recurring role is married.
Andy, Barney - not married, and didn’t get married
Aunt Bea and her best friend Clara - not married
Goober and Gomer -never married
Floyd the barber and his nephew Warren who took over for Barney - not married
Howard Sprague and his controlling mother - both, not married
Even the Darlings were just the dad and his 3 idiot sons, and cute daughter. She did marry, but then got Andy and Barney involved in some voodoo divorce scheme.
The only married people I saw were Otis, the town drunk. And Andy’s obnoxious relatives who came for a visit.
I don’t remember Opie’s mother even being mentioned, nor parents of either Andy or his dead wife.
Howard Spragues mother did get married, but after that, she wasn’t on the show anymore.
There may possibly be one exception, and that is Emmett the fix it guy. I think they showed his wife as Aunt Bea’s friend. But, that is the only one I can think of.
In retrospect, I find this kind of odd.
I just started Season 2 of Andy Griffith and it has been great.
Rockford Files is a classic if you can overlook the overplayed car chases. Sometimes it seems like the plot show was a bit too short so they added some extra car chase scenes to pad the hour.
I love the episode, “Quickie Nirvana” with the hippie chick.
Stuart Margolin as Angel Martin was SO good as the weaselly friend who could always be counted on to flip on Rockford when the chips were down.
Perry Mason and Gunsmoke....
