Goober Pyle
Was he related to Gomer Pyle (on the show)?

May he rest in peace. Extraordinary man. Once saw him take apart a complete automobile and rebuild it in the Sheriff’s office.

IIRC, Jim Nabors’ character had been quite popular and, when he left to do Gomer Pyle, USMC, the producers introduced his cousin as a replacement.

Griffith was a great show.

Puty Andy Griffith was such a communist in real life.

Did not know that. Thx ...
Been watching some old TV shows on "MeTV" like Rockford Files, That Girl, Bob Newhart, etc. Quite frankly they're all booooring.
But when I catch the Andy Griffith Show, it's still entertaining, I still laugh and I wish any of today's shows were more like it.
