I'm so glad this popped up on my KZfaq feed! I still watch Andy Griffith Show nearly every week night. The characters are ageless and the humor still as funny. My favorite are the ones when Opie was little and from time to time he would be facing a whipping but Andy would trust his little boy and low and behold Opie would bring out the tender side of Andy. Quality entertainment. The new shows of today just do not have the writing talent of old. Too much today protrays father's as dumb with smart elick kids. No talent. The deteriorating of families isn't fun to watch on sitcoms. Thank God for Mayberry reruns.
