Ciao, Andy

Effluvia, Television

They may bury him in the earth,
And be hopey that his Backer,
Keeping reaping Grim at lock and key,
Will inspect the barn he built and see
His worth, that he was one good cracker.

    You know one of his very first movies was "No Time for Sergeants" or something like that. So strange to see, but too funny.

    I never cared for his politics, but I liked his acting. And Mayberry was a great TV show. RIP Andy.

    Excuse me, the Andy Griffith Show was a great tv show…Mayberry RFD was rather tired.

    "No Time" and "Onionhead" were both wonderful films. The Andy Griffith Show started not in 1960, but well before. He's had a long run. RIP.

    I have many fond memories of watching "The Andy Griffith Show" on Nick at Nite when I was growing up, and then "Matlock" reruns when I was a teenager. RIP Andy. You've done well.

    He should've nipped it in the bud. RIP, Sheriff. Have a slice of Aunt Bea's fresh baked pie.
