Andy Griffith and Don Knotts. Two of my favorite, older actors.
Do you love The Andy Griffith show? I do! Granted I
don't watch much anymore, but the show kept me in stitches. Who can forget Don
Knotts as Deputy Barney Fife. I always thought he was the funniest man on the
show. One bullet. He had one bullet for his gun. Ha!
Ruined relationships didn't last long with Sheriff Andy
Taylor around to hold the town together with his wisdom and guidance. He solved
more problems than you can shake a stick at.
We all love characters who are so flawed, in a hilarious
way, they may never redeem themselves. But, Barney does so often. And, Hal
Smith as Otis Campbell. What a hoot! I can't imagine a any town, allowing a prisoner
being able to arrest himself, walk into a jail, and claim his own cell. Too
funny.
Life in a small town is entirely different than in
the big city. There isn't a more understanding sheriff as Andy Taylor. I love
that we see the human side of every character on the show. Ron Howard as Opie
Taylor, played a stupendous part. He managed to get into all the little boy
things, we as mothers know about.
Think I'll buy the series for my grandson. Children
need to know, life wasn't always so wild and wooly!
