Might have to head up to Mt. Airy and have me a pork chop sandwich and visit the Andy Griffith museum.

May he rest in peace.

I agree. The Andy Griffith show Is one that has past the test of time and is still a great show today. Rest in peace Mr. Griffith.

[Joe Handley]

Wow, sorry to hear this, at least he has some friends there already.

Loved the Andy Griffith show, but I also thought he was great as General Rancor in Spy Hard.

[Dr. Cranky]

I grew up on the show, and still can whistle the theme song which is what I am doing right now. R.I.P.

[Harry P.]

Well, now he can hang with Barney again...

[Dr. Cranky]

And Aunt B? Opie hopefully will not join them too soon.

Such a great show, always with a moral at the end! Truly a great actor and producer. I saw a show a while back that said nothing got on that show that wasn't scripted/rehearsed. He was a taskmaster on the set but the end result speaks for itself. RIP Sheriff!

[Harry P.]

And Aunt B? Opie hopefully will not join them too soon.

Not Opie! He's only in his 50s.

[Dr. Cranky]

Ron Howard is in his 50s? Oh, time. TIME is NOT on anybody's side!

[Harry P.]

He's 58.

Sad for our loss, happy for heaven's gain. One thing I remember about Andy, he sure could pick a mean guitar!

Yup, Opie and Gomer have to be about the only regular cast members left, Goober past not too long ago too

Did you guys notice a much younger Denver Pyle in the Darling Clan there?

I grew up watching that show,never get tired of the reruns. One of my favorite movies that is true Andy Griffith is "No Time for Sergeants". That movie makes me laugh every time.

Also the bluegrass band "The Dillards" played 'the boys'. I have several of their albums (yes vinyl) from back in the day. I loved Denver Pyle as Briscoe Darling as he growled at Andy and Barney! "Why sheriff, I didn't know you strang!"

[Harry P.]

She wasn't really a regular, but Thelma Lou is still around.

Once upon a time, America used to tune in to a gentle show about nice people with strong values and a theme of love.

These days? How about "The Real Housewives of Mayberry."

Sad day indeed. We lost a great one. I met the lady who played Helen Crump back in 87 at a Andy Griffith convention in Winston/Salem North Carolina.
