RIP Andy and Don. I was amazed when in an interview Ron Howard said that this bit (and several others) was the result of needing to fill time. Andy & Don would huddle up by themselves & briainstorm for a couple minutes, tell the director how they wanted the scene shot would go for it! Apparently it was always a one take thing & according to Ron everyone on set was always impressed how easily the two came up w/ideas & played off of each other. Sad day for a true icon's passing.

Thats pretty funny. I bet you and your friend would have a great time with my friends and brothers. Being the youngest of six kids I am 58 years old. We all get together very often. Our sole purpose is to make each other laugh, and we do a pretty good job of it. We don't just sit around telling stupid jokes, we talk about every day things and put a funny twist to it. Our Parents were a scream. They had a dry sense of humor that would catch you off guard and keep you laughing for hours. Now all our kids have it. Dad saw two bigfoots one afternoon and I asked him "Dad, shouldn't the plural be bigfeet, bigfi, or sasquatch?" Without cracking a grin he answered "I just called them by their names, Stan and Laura." I was sipping a glass of milk and it shot out of my nose in laughter. I thought I had him, but he owned me. Growing up in our house was a laugh riot. Dinner every night at 6pm was something to look forward to. Neighbors loved us, there was never a shortage of laughter and goodwill. My parents brought the whole neighborhood together with their lighthearted banter.

Oh my gosh softshoes, you need to watch more tele! Try the first 1/3 of the Frasier Valentine's Day episode (David Hyde Pierce's solo skit). Or almost anything from the Carol Burnett Show (for example, the board game episode with what later became the Mama's Family spinoff!!!) Or any episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show. Or Lucy. Or Happy Days (the early season). Andy Griffith might have a bit of appeal for sweetness, but the Constitution scene was a cringey bore, like watching 5th graders perform their own skit they wrote themselves and it drags on and on and on and you just want them to finish already.

Without a doubt, this show is one of my favourite memories of my childhood. Although Mayberry is a fictional town, we all like to think we grew up there, in a much simpler time and place, with friends and family like these characters. Andy was a great straight man. He knew his role, especially when it came to sharing a scene with a comedic legend like the great Don Knotts. Don Knotts made the show. It wasn't the same when he left. Originally, they had planned to give the show a run of five seasons, and Knotts was contracted to do a number of movies, before they realized how successful the show would be with Knotts as one of the feature characters. Knotts did not even appear in the first episode. He saw the episode, and called Andy Griffith, saying, "You know what you need? Andy needs a DEPUTY!" Realizing Knotts was right, Andy said, "You call producer Sheldon Leonard, and run that idea by him!" As they say, the rest is history.
@Don-md6wn6 жыл бұрын
Yes, and the show was originally written for Andy to be a funnier character, which you can see in the early episode. Andy realized the show would work better if he played the straight man to Barney and the other characters. After Barney left, the show died as far as I'm concerned, even though the ratings were strong to the end. I find the post Barney shows to be pretty much unwatchable.
@jubalcalif91006 жыл бұрын
Well said and well put, Rick ! I totally agree ! An extremely well written & well cast series ! A shame Don left, but as you pointed out, he didn't think they were gonna come back for a 6th season and he'd signed a lucrative multi-picture deal with Universal, the first (and BEST) of which was "The Ghost & Mr Chicken" and the last of which was the lackluster "How To Frame A Figg", which I saw as a teen with my mom & brother at a local drive in when it was first released ! THANKS for your comment, Rick !! :-)

If you watch the pilot of the Andy Griffith Show and the first few episodes, Andy was more of a comedic character, the backwoods sheriff. He had done that kind of thing with his comedy monologues and in No Time for Sergeants. But he realized that Barney was the natural comedian and the show would work better with Andy as the straight man to Barney and other characters like Floyd and Gomer. There aren't many actors who would have been unselfish enough to do that.

Funny/interesting note about this scene: Firstly, in those days they were lucky to have more than one camera.
