Thanks as always!
Be authentic and you will be more successful.
The fake Family Guy type of laughing while talking sounds staged as it is, so better to be authentic and not the hokey fake stuff.

@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES So you go to other TV channels and try to start disagreements? This is not a court case my friend -- quit bullying the channel.
I grew up in a broken home raised by a single mom in an urban area which was crime and drug infested in the sixties and seventies. I come home from school pop in a TV dinner and watch shows like the Andy Griffith show. It gave me hope and I believed that there were good god fearing decent people in the world. And l dreamed that there could be a town like Mayberry. As crazy as it might sound I learned many values from those wholesome shows. I believe that it helped me become a better person and survive the insanity I was exposed to as a child.
Awesome testimony. Thank you for sharing. God is faithful and He will keep leading you to His truth in mist of this dark world.
Very well said
Doesn't sound crazy at all.
I believe we are in a simulation, and tv does in fact teach us morals.
I still watch highway to heaven, which was from my childhood. That show makes me feel good.
Bless you. ☮️❤️🙏🕊️♾️

Im a 54 year old blk woman and i love Andy Griffith and Don Knotts ive been watching this show since I was a littlegirl and I still watch it. til this day
We're the same age, Kara. Like you, I've been watching The Andy Griffith Show since I was a youngster.
Kara, I named my son Andrew after Sheriff Andy Taylor. He is living up to that character to this day. Even in law enforcement. :)
Every day I watch it
U know back then segregation wasn't a joke
@@85irocz28 so
This is one of the greatest shows of all time! Good to hear they were good people off camera.
Iam 63,istill watch the Andy Griffin re-runs shows,ihave been watching since iwas alittle girl,these shows are still so wholesome
I am also 63 and still watch the Andy Griffith reruns. I wish I could crawl into the t.v. set and live there. I miss those times and hate what the world has become.
@@carolynsanchez5415 im 15 and i agree with you
You're so right. Shows today have removed God from the town square so they've become perverted and wicked.
37 yrs old and watch more ME TV overall than anything on Hulu or Netflix. Andy is my top 5 favs along with The Rifleman, Gomer Pyle, USMC, Green Acres and the Carol Burnett show. They make me feel good and they remind me of growing up watching TV with my grandmas and grandpa's. I remember moments like doing woodworking in the garage with my papa (currently 90) and hearing the sounds of Gomer Pyle traveling through the house as grandma made raisen bread. Little things like that keep a soul warm if you ask me.
It was nice to know that Don Knotts and Andy Griffith were best friends.
Yes it is, Barney has to be the most lovable character in TV history.
They were distant cousins
@@teenawillis682 Don Knotts and Andy Griffith weren't related. On the show, for the first few episodes only, they were cousins, but that idea only lasted a few episodes during the first season. That idea was abandoned, and in later episodes they were just good friends all their lives.
@@stephenpsalm274 14th Cousins once removed does not count as being related. The amount of DNA they share, at that level is meaninglessness, even if it were true. There is no way to know for sure, DNA testing for heritage purposes is pseudo science at best.
@@stephenpsalm274 No. Identical twins means they are mono-zygotic twins. Which means, from 1 egg, both twins were born. If you ever bought eggs and got a double yoke, that is mono-zygotic. So mono-zygotic have the same DNA, but as they get older their DNA isn't as close. The reason their life experiences will differ, and alter the DNA slightly. For example: Identical twins, one works in an auto-body, the other an office. The chemicals and fumes will leave trace elements on his DNA, compared to the one in the office. That is the only way to distinguish mono-zygotic twins, with a DNA test. Otherwise, if they lead the same life, their DNA will remain identical.
Hat's off to the lads from Mayberry for giving us hope and laughter for so many years.
You guys were all rock stars and role models to me.
JP Stone yes I miss this show
Awesome comment.
Hey best show ever I watch reruns over over over and it beats any series I've ever watched love it 😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂
Tom Glorius, The best of the best...
Andy left us with a classic character...who was very real...and to this day a joy to watch....thank you Andy
I've never heard anyone say anything negative about Don Knotts. By all accounts, he was a kind, decent man who made time for his fans.
The Andy Griffith show will always be a classic show that should run forever in my opinion. It portrayed a time and place where the world was alot better place then it is today. This has to be up there as one of the best shows there ever was. It shows the good in people and it's like a time that we will never see again in these days and age unfortuantly. Im 36 watched as a kid with my grandma and grandpa as they raised me and still watch till this day even though I've seen every episode multiple times. It will never get old. Wish things was a simpler time again.
Thanks for sharing, Tim!
I have been watching this show more than usual lately. I laugh myself silly nearly every episode. The show, the characters, and the acting were top notch! There will never be another Barney Fife, Otis, Ernest T. Bass, or Gomer in our lifetimes. They were timeless and priceless.
One of the best TV shows ever!
Both guys were class acts, but Don Knotts was the greatest TV comic actor ever and a really classy guy. There won’t be another like him
I agree 100%!!!
That's a big reason why Andy decided to play the straight man to Knotts on the show.
Don Knott was a classy guy and an underrated actor
Don knotts got all the accolades and awards
Don Knotts be slangin that dick to all the chicks back in the day.
Who could blame him? Such a tragedy that should never have happened. I'm glad Don Knotts was there for him.
Andy & Don were best friends, and were always there for each other. When Don started going blind, and nobody else would hire him, Andy hired him. Don was given a reoccurring role, and Andy took a large cut in salary, and had the studio use it to pay Don. Up to the end, they remained best friends, and Andy even made sure that his medical bills & even Don's funeral would be paid for.
Such a great story!
Mr Griffith & Mr Knotts , class acts . You hardly see that anymore . To bad , so sad . May they rest in peace .
they teamed up for some episodes of matlock
why would he take a cut in pay when he could give Don the money himself? Do you have a link?
It was a classic friendship in a business where actors are rarely friends with actors. Their luck with marriage was...well...both Griffith and Knotts were married to their careers.
It's not surprising that Andy was upset over the killing of JFK. Anyone with a heart must have felt the same and Andy had a big one.
One of my older cousins (13 at the time) was completely in love with JFK. They said when my aunt told her, her eyes rolled back and she flat out fainted. My aunt caught her before she could fall and crack her head. She stayed out for about five minutes and didn't go to school for about a week. There are a lot of "JFK where were you" stories like these. Always been fascinating to me since it all happened a few years before I was born.
Back when shows were clean and wholesome for adults and children. Andy griffith and don knots were a good representation of how a real good police officer should conduct themselves with the american citizen. I feel for you Andy griffith. Jfk was a good president and a good wise man.
@Rick M those two presidents did not bring disgrace and perversion to the image of america in the eyes of real american patriots and the rest of the world. They kept their situtations to themselves and did not go around making a negative public spectacle of the office of presidency. Oh, and they did not betray their government by teaming up with the russians to cheat or unjustly win an election.
I'm still pissed about it!
@@tacoheadmakenzie9311
To whom are you directing your stupid, totally inappropriate comment?
One the Best TV Shows Ever!
To bad every town isn’t like Mayberry.
I wish
I still watch it everyday.
Alan Whiteside:
"Too bad every town isn't like a Mayberry."
While I used to watch this show, recently what has struck me as 1 thing odd about Mayberry and The Andy Griffith Show is that considering it took place in the Carolinas....there are no black people to be seen, ANYWHERE. I have lived in the south (Alabama and Texas), and while white people try to convince themselves that non-white people don't exist in either state, it is not really possible to have a "slice of life" type show and not include a person of color in at least a small role. Ironically, in interviews and probably at least 1 of these CZcams videos, Andy Griffith will tell you how he and the other actors tried to make the show as "real" as possible.
@@howardkerr8174 I like the Andy Griffith show. As a black woman, what you just said never once entered my mind. It was a show about a small town, race had nothing to do with the show. Only someone like you, who is a racist, would feel the way you do, because to you race comes into everything. Moreover, Andy Griffith never said they wanted to make the show as real as possible. What he and others said was they wanted to make a show where there were no problems so people could forget reality. The opposite of what you just said. Watch season 7 episode 26 "Opie's Piano Lesson," and even in that episode the man's race was not an issue.
The Andy Griffith show was just a show about a small town, where everyone knew each other and were friendly. The fact the people were white was irreverent. Their race, nor my race, had nothing to do with the show whatsoever.
Howard Kerr thats what made it such a good show. No compensating or obligatory token black.
Can never tire of watching this show especially Andy and Don.
im a 31-year-old black men ilove Aandy Griffith Show s i w 5 years old
Brock Cureton I thought that there were no black people in the episodes but as I watch I do see some extras. There was one episode about a black coach who mentored Opey. I wished more African Americans were included in these old sitcoms. I would say that the show was becoming forward thinking 🤔.
@@mercedes523 I once read Andy Griffith pushed for more black extras, but producers wouldn't go for it. AG wanted a truer representation of small town life, but producers thought the audience wasn't ready for it on their TV screens.
Netflix had all the episodes I watched them all :) live them
Men or man? Andy.
@@vashon100 🤔
I dearly loved the show. I was honored and blessed to have been raised by a loving father who was just like Andy even looked like him. His 9 kids miss him and mom everyday.
Thanks for sharing Betty!
On that terrible day I saw my great grandfather cry for the only time I can remember.and he was a staunch Republican but most of all he was an American
End of the day, regardless of politics...we are all Americans.
Dave Sundstrom ... Sorry for picking a nit, but these CZcams videos are on the www. Many people around the world can see them and read the comments.
Dave Sundstrom YOU'RE TOO OPTIMISTIC- THERE ARE A HECK OF A LOT OF "AMERICANS" WHO WOULD RATHER SEE THIS COUNTRY GO TO WRECK AND RUIN THAN LET DONALD TRUMP SUCCEED AS PRESIDENT- AND THAT'S OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE!!!
J.W. - You are totally right! Thank you for correcting me.
JFK was a very conservative Democrat. He and Nixon were good friends. That’s one reason didn’t he sue for a recount like Gore did.
It doesn't surprise me one bit that Don went to comfort Andy.
All that I have ever heard of the man has been about what a total class act he was.
There are not very many people that I watched or new that made me cry when they died. Andy was one of those guys. I had watched him for so many years and in different shows. I felt like he was part of our family. Just thinking of it now puts tears in my eyes. RIP Andy.
Thanks for sharing, ICM!
Andy and Don were best-friends even to the grave.
Many can't say they have a friendship as theirs.
I watch this show every single day and with JOY!!!
May they R. I. P.
Truly a special friendship!
I watch it every night. Every night! I have the complete collection. Some are a little scratched I told my wife I wanted another complete set but she said no way lol
I don't blame him for this. It makes sense.
I remember being in middle school the day of 9/11. I remember catching teachers breaking into tears throughout the day, teachers that rarely showed emotion. This actually seems normal to feel that level of grief for something that serious.
I was in the third grade and home from school sick the day President Kennedy was killed. As the terrible news hit the nation it seemed like the heart of every American, no matter which party they belonged to, suddenly stopped. The sadness and grief were paralyzing.
RIP TO THE CAST & ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. WONDERFUL WATCHING GROWING UP♥️
Andy Griffith stood by Don Notts through many of his life's problems so,it's understandable that he would won't to comfort Andy through something that was understandably upsetting to him...they were both good men and,we could use men just like them now..
Check out a movie called “Face in the crowd” starring Andy Griffith. It’s before the Andy Griffith show and it’s some pretty intense acting!
Very timely
I've seen it
@ Jeff Walters. To use a cliche that is overused and used wrongly “ Face In The Crowd “ really was ahead of its time . I don’t see how it ever got green lighted given the era it was produced
Face in the crowd is an impressive debut from Andy Griffith. He’s pretty
Funny in the comedy about being in military no time for seargents.
I'd say very intense. Might even unsettle sensitive people, but what a brilliant display. His masterpiece.
Say what you want about Don Knotts? Okay. One of the greatest actors/ comedians. One of my absolute faves. Loved anything he was in. And yes he and Andy were best friends. Andy absolutely let him steal many scenes. It was such a great chemistry and I watch at least one episode of the show every night.
For two episodes in season two, "Aunt Bee and the Warden" and "The County Nurse," Andy sported a bandage on his right hand. This is quickly explained away onscreen as the result of a scuffle, but in real life, he put his fist through a wall in a moment of anger.
great comedies of the 50s and 60s unsurpassed not the junk of today..
Are these the episodes he is talking about curly ?
.
I believe every baby boomer that's living today remember how Andy Griffin & the gang affected us to a great degree, such
Wholesome living from our childhoods, cherish that great period of my life,
another story is that his wife broke it with a claw hammer when she found out andy was cheating with aneta crosaut.
Till this day.....best rerun..... wholesome humor......
I can you that a nearly all Americans were deeply affected that day, regardless of their politics. I was only in kindergarten and remember that day vividly. America was in mourning.
Sirgromulus i was in first grade and we went strait to church to pray and ran home scared the Russians were going to bomb us. Catholic School was so scary. i hated it
@@williamfroh8830 ,so did I,and had a very sadistic nun in third grade who repeatedly slapped me! Blessings from Philadelphia, Pa.
@@michaelgaynor6866 i thought all nuns were sadistic. I had a nun every year and each was meaner than the last..
I was 6 months old... and I pooped.
I will never forget Nov.22, 1963. I was 12 and in a Catholic School. The nuns were crying. I never saw a nun cry. They let us go home at 1:00 p.m. My mom said "What are you doing home? I said," The nuns were crying and said " Children, you all have to go home" My mom put the TV on and we saw Walter Cronkite crying and say that President Kennedy died in a hospital in Dallas after being shot. We were in total shock and disbelief. How could this happen? That day was my 911. I will never forget it! I also am a big fan of The Andy Griffith Show and enjoy the reruns on MeTV. The show helped all of us get through the 60's, a bad time in America just like the show helps us get through 2020 and Covid 19, today! I wish we had shows like that today, just like Bonanza and Gunsmoke as well!
I’ve heard good and bad about Andy Griffith, although I tend to give little credence to the bad. This was a great story and although I was always a huge fan of Griffith, this is a great story I’d never heard before. In my opinion, Andy Griffith was one of the greatest tv shows ever created and the magic chemistry between Griffith and Knotts will never be matched! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! For additional context, check out the updated version of the video here: czcams.com/video/p84qm1B2SNc/video.html
I watch this show every night from 5-7 p.m. rather than the sickening and evil news! Its heartening and I love the morals of the stories.
It's a great escape from the chaos of the world today!
Both Andy and Don were better actors than ever given credit for... I'm glad they can be remembered now...
Andy Griffin had a strong fan base of black people too. I watched the reruns when I was a little girl...and because it was a funny and wholesome show.. never minded the lack of black people in Mayberry...I thought we were everywhere!😂😂😂
@@sammie7641 Me too and I am black. My mother loved even more than me.
I grew up watching this show with my dad and now my kids get to enjoy it as well and love it.
There's no place like Mayberry. This only made my love for Andy and the crew more appreciated. The first time I saw Andy Griffith I knew he was that kind of guy. R.I.P. all.you♥️
I was 13 years old when President Kennedy was shot. I'll never forget where I was, what happened when we heard the news in our Science class...it never, ever leaves you. May none of us ever have to experience that again. And please, no political observations about how you wish this or that about any current politicians.
My dad was in like second grade and he said he still remembers what color dress his teacher was wearing that day.
you make an especially poignant response, and i salute you. how sad today, that with the hatred and sin of politics today, if , God forbid, something happened to trump, people would openly cheer. i value life, and wish no one a bad death, life is to precious to let political boundaries or ideology define the value of a person, any person
Sandra Louden kill trump
I love watching the Andy Griffith Show. It is so family oriented for me. I watch it with my mom. Andy was a great actor . The whole cast was also great. I love watching the classics. They are the best.
Hi I am 29 year old I have 2 kids that are 7 years old and 5 years old they love Andy GRIFFITH SHOW and my husband seen Andy GRIFFITH SHOW since he was 5 years old he seen so many times he remembers every one of the episodes and my husband has his collection ANDY GRIFFITH DVDs I love Andy GRIFFITH I wish they make like that more. It's so family and so peaceful and Christian people I LOVE IT WE LOVE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW EVERY SINGLE DAY AFTER DINNER MY KIDS GOES CRAZY TO SEE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. MY SON AND MY DAUGHTER DANCE WHEN THEY WHISTLE. I WELL NEVER STOP WATCHING ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. ONE OF BEST SHOW THEY EVER MADE.
I have been watching classics since before I can remember, and I'm not even 18 yet 😂 I totally agree that the classics are the best. No gor or sex or blood or anything like that. And if there was, u couldn't see it cause it was in black and white! I wish they still made good movies like that. Don Knotts was probably my most favorite actor with Andy right there next to him along with Tim Conway and Roy Rogers. God Bless!
Wow friend! I'm super glad to see that one of you're videos got the amount of views that they all deserve!
I remember that day.
I was in my 7th grade wood shop class when the announcement that Kennedy had been assassinated came over the PA system. We were all being sent home from school.
I went to my hall locker to get some homework, and as I passed one classroom I saw my Civics teacher crying while sitting at his desk.
A sad day for all!
When I was a kid, my mother worked at Universal Studios and she was right below the lead public relations person at the time. She said that out of all of the actors she met, she singled out Don Knotts, and John Forsythe as being absolute "princes", (very warm human beings). I have a picture of my mom with Jonathon Winters from 1967, and some, where she is posing with cardboard cutouts of Martin Milner, (Jim Malloy) of Adam-12. She is kissing him on the cheek, and he has a big smile on. I made a copy of it and gave it to a retired policeman, with the caption, "we love our cops", and he really liked it!!
There was a file cabinet in her office, at Universal Sudios, and she said to me, "go pick out some signed pictures for yourself". I picked out Andy Griffith, and the stars of Adam-12, because I really liked their TV series. I still wish that I had them, but they are long gone!
Another time, with my mom and brothers, we were on the vacant set of "Ironside". I was rolling around in Raymond Burr's wheelchair that was used as a prop for the TV series. Darren McGavin, (star in A Christmas Carol, and the Night Stalker TV series of 1974-75) walked on by, saw me and said, "hello young man", shook my hand and continued on his way. That sure made me feel special!
My older brother told me of the time, while with my mom, (I was not present), that he was in the Munster's house on Universal's Lot. He told me that he operated the staircase that lifted up, where "Spot the Dragon" was, and that one of the prop men showed him how they shoot all the spider webs in the Munster house!
Carlos Carpinteyro I had forgotten about the staircase....been 30 years since I thought of it. :)
Carlos Carpinteyro would love to belly up to the bar and hear your stories! Fascinating!
Thank you for posting this!!
Your memories are great fun to read. Thank you for sharing these....wonderful!
I was working in Manteo NC one summer and had to make a fast run to the hardware store to get a fitting for a faucet before they closed. I was looking back at the truck trying to figure out what my friend was saying and ran smack into Andy, almost knocked him, and the mop he had just bought, right back into the store. I apologized, he was gracious. Nice guy. He loved Manteo.
Rollin' Jones ...he lived in Manteo. His home is still there and that’s where he was buried. He lived in Manteo for years.
Im from Eastern Nc and work & play in Manteo. He was a hateful, mean, obnoxious ahole!!
@@dawnwalker2084 WOW. .you sound like the mean one...care to explain?
I wish after I pass..I come back as a character on " The Andy Griffith Show"....I love that show.. .!...and all the characters.. I have the complete series..about 250 episodes.. I've watched them back to back 3 times..when it ends..and the last episode is over..I cry..lol.. I'm 65 years old... I can truly say the most unique TV series ever..! ..all of you in the show..Thank You..and all R.I.P..
Short and sweet. Showing us the man. Respectful. Good work!
Very nice video & it is great to know of the compassion & real emotion of this legend.
Don Knotts was a brilliant actor all those actors including Griffith on that show was
Yes...but Don Knotts ruled supreme!
In 1963, my older brother had a paper route, and I remember helping him to load the papers announcing JFK's death onto his bike and thinking "nothing will ever be the same again"--and they *weren't*--either for American Society or for me personally. :(
i loved that show growing up and R.I.P to Andy don knotts and JFK that was a sad day love this review thanks.
I remember this day vividly. I was at my job in a office and was 18yrs old and on our lunch break we went to a co-workers house and watched it on tv. Sad.....
I was 18 too. Remember it well.
It's time to subscribe to your great channel especially for us older folks who were young bucks in the 60's. Thanks for all your efforts on this.
Thanks for subscribing, RT!

Thank You for posting
"Say what you will about Don Knotts"...
Huh? I've never heard a negative word about Don Knotts, either as a person or an actor. He was especially great on Three's Company.
Yah, it was a poor choice of words. Don is great.
This show. Is one of the classics...of tv..Andy AND Don were like Gleason AND Carney....the best of the best..i watch these shows no matter how many times iv seen them...if you want to see a great acting job...A FACE IN THE CROWD.Andy Griffith
I’ve heard it is great. I will watch it. 🙂
I remember the day. I was eight years old, in school, probably 2nd or 3rd grade. I'm now 65. When the news was announced over the PA system, the silence was eerily sad. My teacher wept openly. So, I'll never forget that day. It's now 2020, God Bless all!
I never knew this piece of history. Thanks Dave. New subscriber.
Nice video, Dave. Thank you. I enjoy hearing your voice narration. Just subscribed!

He was very good as the smiling villain.

That was the saddest day. Time stood still. Everything was moving in slow motion. The world felt empty.
So sad. But I'm glad to that they were such good people. Love this show.
Powerful. Nice work Dave!
Thanks GoldenRAGEofTV!
I was just stepping off of my school bus. I was in the 1st grade. The whole place, even at my young age felt different. It does not matter what side the isle you are on (and I was not old enough to know there were sides of the isle) this was the president of the United States. Everyone felt something. Seemed as though the whole nation was in shock. Oh, I still enjoy the reruns of anything Andy Griffith or Don Knotts is in. Mayberry was/is an awesome show.
Thanks for sharing your memories, Ralph!
Very nice and thank-you for that slice of life. I too remember that day as I was in the third grade. Everyone cried.
It's uncanny how much Sheriff Andy Taylor and Andy Griffith looked alike. Hard to tell them apart.
Now that right there is funny! I don't care who you are.
Stupid.
I had just got home from 1st grade. Mom and I were watching "you don't say", a game show. It came across the screen in a crawl at the bottom that the president had been shot. I could never forget it.
I'm in my 30's so I missed all of these original airing. Still such fond memories of enjoying all of these great shows with my mom. Great channel Dave. Harvey is my favourite movie though. Both the Stewart original and the Anderson 90's remake.
Dave Don Knotts was a wonderful, supportive friend during that very emotional and very sad time!
Thank heavens for good friends!
eljay345 they were life long friends
Yes Gary I've heard Dave mention that before! 👍🏻
Yes Dave. Both offline and online! 😀👍🏻
His Daughter,Karen Knotts, is on facebook and is a really sweet and classy person. She does a show called..."Tied Up In Knotts" where she sings and does skits and tells cool stories about her famous dad. Very cool person!!!!
Love the show!!!!! 😍everyone went home from school. My mother cry to. That the day the earth stood still.😔😢😭🙏
Truly horrible day 😕
Don Knotts was an incredible actor. Nobody and I mean nobody had more facial expressions than Don Knotts.
I could not agree more, kirkkw!
I love your retrospectives about, you know...the good stuff! Would love to see a video about character actors Barney Phillips, William Windom, and William Campbell. Also, a retrospective featuring Jack Webb and his hit TV Shows "Dragnet", "Adam-12", and "Emergency!".
As you said, we all deal with these situations differently & I agree! 🌼
I have always love the Andy Griffin show love them all and everyone of them were fantastic always thought and he was a sweetheart too😊💕
As a film, television stage etc etc fan I absolutely love watching your well thought-out, and insightful biographies, and stories about the people we've come to accept as family if not friends. Andy Griffith totally shocked me with his move to television. I can't believe that the incredible that the incredible actor who portrayed Lonesome Rhodes in, Elia Kazan's A Face In The Crowd which Imo should have been an Academy award-winning performance for Andy. After a face in the crowd, came No Time for Sergeants. Hysterical! Once again, Griffith shines as an ignorant, backwoods character who gets drafted. No Time for Sergeants should have earned Andy a Academy Award nomination minimally. Both flicks, and characters were Polar Opposites, and Andy proves he could do it all. Next was onion heads. Not the best script, but Andy did his best, and although it's not on par with a face in the crowd or No Time for Sergeants Andy does his best. Two out of three isn't bad for any actor. Onion heads was a bad script, and would have been difficult for anyone to make the movie anything more than it was. He kills every performance as Andy Taylor in hit televisions, The Andy Griffith Show. It still shocks me that he chose to go from Broadway to movies, and then to television. He was such an incredible force on the big screen. Moving to the small screen doesn't make sense to me. Andy possibly didn't enjoy working on movies, and found television a much easier medium to work with. The fact that he probably had total control over his show, a large paycheck, and who knows what other perks made him choose the small screen over the big one. He was indeed an incredible actor. And a face in the crowd although pain during its original release, has become a film students required viewing. it is more relevant today then it was when it was released. After all we have a demagogue similar to the Lonesome Roads character currently in the White House. My suggestion for fans of The Andy Griffith Show that might have never seen a face in the crowd and No Time for Sergeants, do so and do so soon. You will not be disappointed!
Great insights, Zoo Yawk!
you didn't mention his comedy album long before all this what got him started i still have it.
Thanks, Dave. This is good material. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I love this video and your channel Dave
Thanks so much!
In my opinion, more people need to ask themselves, “How did JFK’s assassination happen? Who was behind it?”
i knew the answer when i saw it on tv as a teenager they never changed my mind.
Definitely a thumbs up. I wish Andy was still around.
Yah, me too. Thanks for the thumbs up!
This proves the quality of this Man...and Don Knotts
I wanted Andy for my Dad, until I was 16...then I wanted to marry a guy just like him...didn't find him until I was 40.🤗
I'm glad you were able to find someone who had similar traits!
Good things come to those who wait. So they say?
A Pratt is always a safe bet!
God you're lucky, nowadays guys like andy don't exist anymore
My Dad was and still is a lot like Andy Taylor. He even looked a lot like him im his younger days. His father, my Papaw, was like him too. The hometown I grew up in was just like Mayberry. I still live in the county just outside of town limits. Most all little towns in Southwest Virginia were like that back then.
Mount Airy, North Carolina, Andy Griffith's hometown and model for Mayberry is just a one hour drive from my home. Of course, I've visited many times. Saw Andy's childhood home and enjoyed lunch at the same restaurant Andy ate in as a child, still called The Snappy Lunch. I too still watch the show at every opportunity. My brothers and friends often joke and make references to the show, and know in great detail the plot of every episode from memory and can quote many script lines, and often do. We don't care for the color episodes though. Just the black and white ones. Most people say the same thing.
Still watch Andy Griffin. Makes me comfy to see some wholesome family life. Every show you see know a days is full of disrespect and sarcasm.
Yep, both Andy Griffith and Leave It To Beaver take me back to a simpler time.
I know that Don Knotts always had a reputation as a kind man. I'm a native West Virginian and we have always been proud of Don here in the Mountain State. It's sad that most young people don't even know who he is these days. Andy and Don were best friends up to the very day Don passed.
It breaks my heart to think that there might be some future generation who doesn't remember the comedic genius of Don Knotts! I pray that never happens.
I can't imagine Andy Griffith ever losing it I love his sitcoms over and over reruns I loved Barney and hellen. Love to their families always and Opie. I continue to watch
Their friendship shown best in a time of true life sorrowful grief stricken circumstance.😔
i guess i’ve seen all episodes, starting in the 50s but still enjoy it. one of the best shows ever; still beats most new perograms today!
_ dave show started in 1960 but the best ever☺️
Not filmed in the 50's
great episode. don knotts deliberately worked to keep his personal life and views quiet as well. yet all who met him , KNEW HE HAD A HEART OF GOLD. thanks, sure do miss shows like these..
Thank heavens for channels like MeTV! Great shows from a simpler time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Thank you for the short but extremely nice video.
You're welcome, Paupers Budget. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
both gentlemen were very nice and generous in real life and as actors. some of the best for sure.
There was an episode of the Andy Griffith show where Andy injured his hand I heard he had really injured it punching a wall
That was a year before JFK died.
At :34, "Although his show shied away from controversial topics". Wouldn't THAT be nice today. I guess they recognized the fact that it's called show BUSINESS, and it's pretty stupid to pick a political side and alienate half your audience. Too bad the entertainment industry doesn't realize this today.
Great point!

That's a pretty cynical outlook. Judging by the quantity of remakes, sequels and rip offs, I would say entertaining the plebs is very high on the agendas of those that decide what gets made. Entertaining people means money coming in. Whatever has made money in the past if rehashed is likely to make more money. Original interesting stories are risky- people are suspicious of them.
As for 'them' despising their audiences -that's a very sweeping statement- some probably do, others don't. Telling 'us' what to do and say- celebrity endorsements have been around for a long time. A great many people really are influenced by a face they have come to trust through various fictions. Sad but true. If you are one of those few who are immune to the effect of celebrity, well done.
I never really got that from him. Maybe he said he liked America and that was offensive to you?? I don't follow him that much.
Oh...you're talking about the character he played. The show was actually very Liberal. They made his character that way to make fun of Conservatives (much like Archie Bunker). It was a pretty funny show. Very well written.
Dosent matter anymore though. All the networks are owned by the same people now. If they run from one show of theirs the only choice is to go to abother they own. They can play both sides of the field these days.
I’m watching season 1 on prime this evening. Thanks for these. 😊👍
Just walked into study hall library 10th grade first thought he wanted it that bad ....a 16yr young Texan what a thought still haunts me today at 70 ....peace and Happiness is what we need now more than ever Andy's show and the music ...peace ol world we have to leave something behind ...goodness would be a place to start ..RIP Andy,Don and Ron kick us out a new movie Opie we know you've got them ..later
My favorite TV show of all time.
One of mine as well!
@@jdsundstrom Please listen to the Bellamy Brothers song " THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW " it's a really fun song. Nearly every character is mentioned . I sometimes add it to my live set. I urge all fans of the show to hear it, soooooo much fun.
Just like everyone on that day. It was a very sad day for America.
I was only 7 at the time so did not really grasp the magnitude of events of that day but I remember my mother crying and being upset to the extreme.
I was a kid in school. I remember the moment like it was yesterday.
I was in English class freshman in high school , principal told us Kennedy was assassinated , all the girls were crying , but all stayed in school until it was let out at 3:30 .
That was a sad day. First time I saw my mom cry.
This show had a big impact on me growing up. My grandparents watched it & I did with them. Let anyone bring up old TV shows of the 60s & most of the time people say Andy Griffith show by all means. Andy & Barney lol was 2 helluva actors & down to earth. I sure miss them. I was just watching Matlock on METV.
