Frank Gorshin died? Dang! Wasn't he "The Joker" on the campy "Batman" tv series?

Howard Morris was the producer of The Andy Griffith Show for a number of seasons.

I'm not sure about that. Morris directed several episodes, but I don't think he was a producer.

You're right. Producer he was not.

Remember him well. The "Show of Shows" with Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Howard Morris and Carl Reiner was one of the funniest shows ever to be on TV

Their "This Is Your Life" spoof is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen...Morris in particular. Remember him hanging onto Caesar's leg, blubbering?

I do indeed. And if I am not mistaken that particular episode is available on DVD.

Those were some of the funniest episodes of Andy Griffith. The "boys" were totally expressionless, all the time.

he also made an appearance on The Cosby Show in the 80's... his voice and laugh gave him away...

"Old Aunt Maria"


Old Aunt Maria, jump in the fi-ah,
Fire too hot, jump in the pot,
Pot too black, jump in the crack,
Crack too high, jump in the sky,
Sky too blue, jump in canoe,
Canoe too shallow, jump in the tallow,
Tallow too soft, jump in the loft,
Loft too rotten, jump in the cotton,
Cotton so white she stay there all night.

CHARLENE: That's good, Ernest T.
ERNEST T.: Wanna hear 'Eatin' Goober Peas'?
