@@barbaramilone2800 I think gomer was only on for a year, and he became so popular, it's sad that they have the spin-offs that really detract from the show, too bad don knots left for contractual reasons. They should have continued to expand the community with new actors it should have been ongoing they could have even evolved from rural country to city, when Timmy grew up and went to the city, why didn't Lassie move to the city, they didn't have to do the rural Purge they could have done the shift to the city.

Not only was this a memorable character on the show but Morris was really a force as a voice actor for many many cartoons during the sixties. His portrayal of this character was PURE comic genius. Additionally, anyone who grow-up watching Hanna Barbera cartoons will certainly remember the voice and its comedic inflections. Now you are able to place the face with such a great voice actor.

@gailjarvis25926 жыл бұрын
I think his appearing - and rightfully so, as the "lead character" because he was outstanding, is why he was LED OUT of the series: Andy Griffith was known to be moody (even violent at times - throwing things, acting out) and he only got along with a few people. He was also likely to be VERY jealous of the attention Howard Morris got. He didn't like to share the scene - except for with Don Knotts: his lifetime best friend, and also one of only the two people he could tolerate on the show (they weren't afraid of him): - Aneta Corsaut (his many years lover) and knotts. - But again, Griffith would frequently pitch actors from the series when he felt they took attention away from him.

My grandmother died in 2004. My grandfather was living alone, but was healthy and able to keep house after her death. BUT I was worried that he might be lonesome for her. I would go by my grandfather's house to check on him after I got off work. I wanted to make sure he was ok (he was 91 yrs old then). My grandfather would ask me to stay for awhile and keep him company. We would eat dinner & spend time watching the National news at 5:30 (Dan Rather). I would stay a little longer to help keep my grandfather's mind off my grandmother. At 6:00 we would turn channel to TVLAND. The channel would show 2 episodes of "The Andy Griffin Show" every evening from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. The first set that we watched (as I recall) had both the Darling family and Ernest T on the show. As many times as my grandfather remembered seeing that show through the years...those characters were new to him. I remember him turning to me laughing...(thank God) and he said that he didn't think anyone could be as funny as Barney Fife on the Andy Griffin show (until he saw Ernest T.) Thank you, Howard Morris, for helping my granddad through the grieving process. He lasted a whole year after my grandmother passed...and I know it was because of this show (and this character) that helped him make it!

Two of my favorite scenes . The first, being school. Counting with his feet Second is when he had gotten a uniform but still couldn't get a girl. He told Andy that he wrote her a love note and tied it to the prettiest rock and threw it through her window. When Andy asked what her reply was, Bass said she couldn't say nothin The rock hit her right here in the head. Ha!!!!!

I am SO glad I found this!! I love Ernest T. and Mr. Howard Morris. Howard Morris was good in every part I've seen him play. He could do most any character but Ernest T. Bass was hysterical and still funny after all these years. Thank you so much for posting this!!

The "Education" episode is the best. The geography seen with "Old Man Kelsey's woods, crick, and ocean is classic. Also Andy and Miss Crump dissing Barney "He'd kill ya".

Throwing rocks. Doesn't give a damn what they hit. If they hit a child in the head that's too bad. Hitler didn't give a damn about Anne Frank, either. 😡
