The Andy Griffith Show: Always A Classic


When it comes to comedy there's nothing that touches the Andy Griffith Show. (seasons 1-5) My family and I watch it at least 4 or 5 times weekly. 

I do find it strange how Andy Griffith himself has come out in his old age in support of the current administration and even went so far as to do a lame campaign ad for Obama during the election and recording a PSA for his health care takeover, uh, "plan".

There was so much in the things the Andy Griffith show brought to us every week that go against the grain of our modern day progressives, I wonder if Andy himself still has his faculties about him.  Of course, there were a couple of 'big government is ok' messages in the show as well.  Eminent Domain was favorably portrayed by making the fellow who refused to sell to the county a bootlegger and criminal. Mostly though, it was just a wholesome family friendly show.

Whenever you want to clear your mind of the things that are now called "entertainment", just load an Andy Griffith Show DVD in the player and enjoy.

  1. I TOTALLY agree about watching an
    Andy Griffith show and never going wrong
    with an episode!
    Our family loves watching
    an episode every once and a while to throw
    'a humor-rock in this gloomy world pond'!
    ANDY GRIFFITH RULES!
