Haha Andy Griffith's version of Romeo and Juliet. A classic! Look at his versions of the opera Carmen, the Discovery of America, and others on my channel! Too funny! :)

In this time of chaos when up is down, yes is no, lie is truth and so on, Andy is still funny and the humor is clean, and still funny! Hearkens back to a wonderful time that we can never go back to.

I listened to this for the first time right when i was studying Romeo and Juliet in high school. One of the passages I had to memorize and recite was the balcony scene. I started with "Hark. What light through younder win.." and I almost said winder shines. I started laughing and my teacher was probably convinced I was crazy. It took me about a minute to compose myself and then i was able to say it with Shakespeare's words instead of the much better Griffith translation.

i appreciate this comedy far more than some of the ridiculous crap that's out now. A comedian doesn't have to use profanity to be funny. The true mark of a comedian is the ability to make people laugh without using profanity or belittling someone else. This is classic comedy that's STILL funny today.

I got to meet Andy Griffith when he was filming an episode of "Matlock" in Monrovia, Ca. He was so gracious and polite. The episode was a Christmas special, and had three street urchins who witness a murder. After a day's filming was over, I saw him call the boys over, tell them they did good, and hand each of them a twenty out of his own wallet. He also made sure I was eating from the film companies caterer's trailer. The TV show used my bike shop as the main toy store set, and he said" thanks"

He was so wise. *sigh* And funny! And just so upbeat! You could tell that his humor did not come from much pain in his life like so many other comedians' humor does. Seems like all the pain does is make the comic funny, while making them a bear to live with at the same time. At least, according to so many of the bios I've read.
