Outstandin'!You do realize that Andy Griffith was a Marxist dont you?
Goober says hey
Ironically, as wholesome as the show is, the PC police would never allow such a sitcom to air today. Case in point is the drunk who is a regular on the show. They would never allow that today. Yet they allow the same tasteless off-colour double-entendres that pass as jokes today.
Now I can sleep at night......
Outstandin'!Has anyone ordered and seen the Andy Griffith DVD's and VCR tapes crap selling over at RiverinSouthAmerica.com?
I certainly hope this offering is better than that which has passed for quality in the past.
Thelma Lou was a cheap tart. Andy laid more pipe in that town than Waubesha Plumbing.
Mine is already in the mail. Might even be here tomorrow.
The best collection of comedic character actors ever assembled.
If anyone has seen "A Face in the Crowd" you will know what a good serious actor Griffith was.
Frankly, if they will just come out with DVD of the shows up until Don Knotts left I'll buy it. Once he was gone the show lost its soul.
The interesting thing to me is there is an old ragged sticker on the case which says. "Property of Andy and Cindi Griffith, 10500 Camarillo Street, N. Hollywood, CA 91602"
The binocular is not particularly expensive so he probably put these on all his property.
The theme song alone sums up life for me. And I'm a D@mn Yankee! LOL!
"The Fishin' Hole"
By: "Everett Sloane, Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer"
Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole.
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.
Whether it's hot,
whether it's cool,
oh what a spot,
for whistlin' like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.
We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole.
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.
If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
Hangin' around,
takin' our ease,
watchin' that hound,
a-scratchin' at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.
Amen! (I added that, LOL!) Andy couldn't have been a Marxist. This day, as described above, seems like Heaven to me!
And FWIW, I'm naming my next mutt "Trey."
As a kid, TAGS and MASH were staples of staying home sick.
As Andy Griffith would say, "Ummmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Gooooooood!!"
One of my favorites was Howard Sprague..The guy could have made it, if he hadn't been such a mama's boy. I thought Elly was cuter than Helen.
Mayberry has the lowest crime rate in the state. Barney is asked "How many are on the Mayberry police force?" "Well, there's Andy and me - and Baby makes three!"
The Jump the Shark moment for the Andy Griffith show was when they went to color.
