Ron Howard managed to screw up the story of the Alamo, another heresy he committed. He reached his zenith as Opie and Richie Cunningham and should have retired gracefully at age 16.
He did a great job with Apollo 13, one of my favorite movies of all time.
He jumped the shark for me when I read that he and his wife named their kids after where they were conceived. That's just creepy!
Opie has spent way too much time in Hollywood. Too bad! GG
