At 70, Ron Howard FINALLY Admits How Much He Truly Hated Him.
The Andy Griffith Show may have gone off the air in 1968, but that hasn't stopped people from loving it, and remaining curious about all the behind-the-scenes antics. Join us as we explore everything there is to know about The Andy Griffith Show and its talented cast members as now at 70, Ron Howard finally reveals what we've all been curious about, from set secrets to the relationships among the stars-who disliked whom, and why-to what happened after the series ended. Which moment did Ron Howard dislike the most? Or whether he hates anyone on set?

I think this was the height of sitcoms. The Andy Griffith show is not my favorite show, but I recognize its excellence.

[@ednaatluxton4918]

It was Aunt bee who hated Andy in real life not Ron. He always said Andy was like a father to him and taught him so much. They were very close.

[@elainewalls3563]

That's true and why they brought Aunt BEE's character to the show I'm still trying to figure it out. Her voice is annoying and sickening to me personally. Just saying.

[@conniemaros]

Aunt Bee wanted the respect she received on stage. She was a professional actress. But no one could have replaced her on the show. She was perfect for the role. All was good in the end. Apologies were accepted and there was peace.

That’s what I had always read. I was surprised at the title.

My father looked soooo much like Andy Griffith, young and old. It always kind of freaks me out when I see him. Dad even had a very similar demeanor as the tv character Andy created for the show minus any wise-father advice. Favorite line from the show: Barney: “You’re going to let her make more of those kerosene cucumbers!” Aunt Bea made horrible pickles, and nobody could tell her for fear of hurting her feelings. Haaaaaa!

Opie (Ron Howard) was the smarted actor on the stage, even when only 6 years old. The most admirable. I loved them all. Once I saw Ronnie Howard at the Natural Hist Museum in NYC with his kid. I was thrilled, but did not bother them by speaking with them. Just stood there and marvelled

[@elainewalls3563]

NOBODY! It was AUNT BEE, that really Hated Andy Griffith on and off set. I don't know why they even brought BEE'S character into the show because she was Annoying with her sickening Voice, being thirsty for a man, and that fake prim and proper persona just didn't fit. I loved ALL the other characters except BEE.

I spoke recently with a relative close to Don Knott's and he claimed Ron H and Andy Griffith had a very good relationship.

She later said she regretted the way she handled it.

Thank you.

I loved and still love The Andy Griffith show. I grew up on it and my family watched it as me and my kids watched it. I still watch the reruns today. The only character that was and still is even more so today that really gets under my Skin is Aunt Bee. I just can't take her shrilly voice. It's more sickening to me today I must admit. I often wondered why couldn't they have gotten someone else to play the part? Aunt BEE and her being thirsty for a man used to make me think who would want to be with you with that killing voice. Anyway I still enjoy the show today. 😅

Good video, even if the name didn't fit. It seemed like the only thing. Ron Howard hated was the pickles. Back when I was an OTR driver I made a delivery to a place called Leonardtown, Maryland. Leonardtown reminded me a lot of Mayberry.

[@JedTaub]

In most episodes, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI) bulletin hangs on the wall--really distributed by the NCSBI, and updated regularly. Although not specifically stated, when Barney left the show, he became a detective in Raleigh, NC--the home of the NCSBI! Francis Bavier retired to live in Chatham County, NC. George Lindsay became a regular on the tv show HeeHaw. Your title is click-bait, as no such announcement was made. Floyd's Barber Shop was visible in an episode of Star Trek TOS.

[@JeffGonzales-yq1en]

So many of these shows should simply be allowed to fade into history. I remember them from my childhood and they were what they were. They were fun then and I appreciate them for what they were, but do not hold up. The sugary, sweet nature, the innocent backdrop, the perfect father / son moments and finally, the 'everything is perfect' here in my hometown is too much. It does not represent reality in any way and yet, I know so many people who pine for these supposed days of yore. Now in my 50s, I say, Get Over It. It is beyond time to move on, into reality and live your life.

[@elaineconnors6248]

You're entitled to your opinion but I disagree. The show for me helped instill strong values that helped me grow and have a good life. I am just trying to explain how much I learned from this show.

[@lisajeter9511]

I thought he was going to say he hated Don Knotts.

[@pisachanation414]

Huh? What was the publicity picture of movie actress Kim Novak in a bubble bath in there for?

[@pisachanation414]

Kim Novak was never in anything with Andy Griffith. She was strictly a movie actress, and a very popular one. Her role in the movie "Bell, Book, and Candle"was my favorite. A romantic comedy with co-star Jimmy Stewart, Kim played a modern day Witch, who had a Siamese Cat named Pyewacket which also had a few occult powers of its own.

[@IreneSmith]

Well that was careless. The image of "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" was not from the movie, it was from the television series. Also, although this title was extremely click-baity, the video never tells who Ron "truly hated" in your title. I'm surprised that you didn't mention Don Knotts becoming a recurring character on Matlock especially considering how repetitive this video is.

Another mislabeled video. This is a trick to get people to watch these things. I am a North Carolinian and I know that service personnel on the Outer Banks where Andy lived, hated to see him coming because of his attitude toward people. He was not a nice man. In fact, I have a personal friend who was mistreated by Andy. My friend is a very sweet and loving person who would not intentionally harm anyone. This completely changed her opinion of Andy Griffith.
