And another thing...

If you can watch the show even a few times and not bust a gut laughing at some of Don Knotts characterizations as Barney Fife, your sense of humor is seriously impaired. Gently humorous my ass.

The Andy Griffith universe is confusing to me. So he was born from this appearance on the Danny Thomas show, but then Andy also basically played Gomer Pyle in some old movie, which seems like it could have been the genesis for either this series, or Gomer Pyle, or both. And then the real Gomer Pyle was on Andy Griffith as Gomer before Gomer joined the marines, so Gomer was playing a civilian who later joined the marines, while Andy was a civilian who had previously played more or less the same character as Gomer did, but much earlier.

Here's the movie where Andy is playing the bumpkin army private: No Time for Sergeants. Anyone else ever seen it? I caught it many years ago on some rainy Saturday, and it was kind of eerie how closely he played to the later Gomer Pyle character.

One of the best roles Griffith ever played.

The look on the Sergeants face when Andy rigs up all the toilet seats to stand at attention for inspection is hysterical.

Andy Griffith is the only one I voted for.

I can't stand Ray Romano's whinny ass voice, so I never watched that show.

Has anyone ever seen Andy Griffith in "A Face in the Crowd"?

It was a movie that came out in 1957 in which Andy plays an absolutely evil, duplicitous character, so out of line with his usual persona it's amazing. It was a critical hit, no so sure how it did at the box office.

It was refreshing to see that Andy Griffith was actually a talented actor, not just a hayseed comedian. He is truly frightening at times in this movie.

A review of A Face in the Crowd

"Andy Griffith made an unforgettable screen debut in this film as Lonesome Rhodes, a cracker-barrel philosopher discovered by Marcia Jeffries (Neal), who puts him on her local television station in Arkansas. His down-home wit and backwater jokes soon gain a wide audience, after which one of the state's largest stations picks up his show, followed by a network, until his face is seen throughout the land and his homespun wisdom becomes the creed of large numbers of Americans. But Jeffries and her assistant, Mel Miller (Matthau), soon realize that good old "Lonesome Rhodes" is not the kindly rural savant he appears to be.

Director Elia Kazan and writer Budd Schulberg, who collaborated so effectively in ON THE WATERFRONT, again proved their ability to produce a raw, penetrating, and terrifying portrait of humanity in "A Face in the Crowd". Griffith, who had made a name for himself on Broadway with No Time for Sergeants, skyrocketed to fame after his performance as the vicious but fascinating Lonesome Rhodes--capturing the character so well it would take him some time to live the role down. Neal is superb as the tough but vulnerable television producer snared by the hillbilly philosopher, and Matthau plays his cynical newsman to the hilt.

I voted for the Andy Griffith Show out of respect for its success, for Everybody Loves Raymond because I thought it was pretty darn good, and for Chico and the Man because my vague childhood memories of it were pretty strong and because I always liked Jack Albertson.

P.S. Holy crap I hadn't thought of that show in like 25 years.

JFC I didn't know that the guy that played Chico committed suicide, which is why he disappeared from the show. After that, the ratings slowly tanked and the show was cancelled.

Meanwhile, a reference on this page to Sammy Davis brought back vivid memories of that episode. Meanwhile, I can't tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday...

Dramatic series in the late 70's that only ran for about a year. Andy played a rich guy who owned a Salvage company. He built a spaceship with his team that took them to the moon in the pilot. After that they went on various adventures.
