I liked the old Andy Griffith show as a kid.
Never knew the guy, other than what I read about him. Lots of people aren't what their personas make them appear to be. Someone cue up the Animal Muther "Better you than me" pic. LC |

I loved Andy for what he was, and actor with country roots, who did a fine job of portraying small town life. My mothers home town,where I visited often as a child, was a Replica of Mayberry.
So I give him his due, as an entertainer, and could care less about his politics. Yen & Yang; if everybody agreed with us, we wouldn't have anything to talk about....... Shame he passed, but he had a long, successful life. May we all do as well.

Quoted: I worked with a guy who had previously been on many production crews for early television series. He confirmed what several have stated here: Griffith was an arrogant, hotheaded PITA to work with. The only one he disliked more was Linda Carter (Wonder Woman) - "the nastiest bitch to ever walk this earth". On a more positive note, he said one of the finest people he'd ever met was Alan Hale, Jr., who played the captain on "Gilligan's Island". Hale would go to extraordinary lengths to befriend and help people, no matter what their station in life. He was universally loved by all who worked with him. Yep, Hale was a great guy from what I read |

STAY CLASSY ARFCOM
With all the death announcements made here in GD, it has never once crossed my mind to post a disrespectful, or derogatory remark about an individual upon their death. It is classless and tasteless no matter what I happen to dispise about the recently deceased person. I'm surprised, maybe not, that the mods let it happen and let it become permanent public record for the world to see. I would think that some the mods would hold the reputation of the site in a higher regard. Its one thing to dislike a person or disagree with their opinions. Its quite another to publicly dance on their graves. |

No...it's what my Grandfather (who knew him personally) and many of the other locals around Manteo, NC (where he had a home) say. He was a true prick according to them. Then, he goes to bat for our soon to be ex-governor Bev Perdue taking about how she would be a "goood governor". Looks like he got that wrong as well.
