Not against George anyhow I believe he actually attended college there He would actually get offended if you didn't ask for an autograph, and kept his pictures he would sign in the back of his Cadillac.

"Well....I think I will have another Big Orange!" First time I heard that phrase was in Andy's monologue. Years later, it's still a classic.

Yeah, Vol Main, I've got you. Just a little misunderstanding. I was referring to Goober and Gomer in that post. Both of them are from Alabama. And I've been to Mt. Airy for Mayberry Days. Beautiful town!

Nope, not a pill in real life, just the opposite. You don't need to dig very deep to get all the confirmmation you need on Andy's character and personality in real life. He was the real deal. RIP

Opie said he was a great Dad.......... except that he named him OPIE!!!

Did we ever know what happened to Opie's Mom?

Did Andy have her bumped off?
