Big Al Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 USA Today obit God rest your soul, Mr. Griffith. And thanks for the wonderful memories. Quote
Neal Pomea Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Shazam! What a career! Loved his storytelling for Opie, like Romeo and Juliet, or his little chats with Barney. (Winkin'll tell Blinkin', and Blinkin'll tell Nod, and Nod'll tell Barney, and Barney'll tell you!) Edited July 3, 2012 by Neal Pomea Quote
Tim McG Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Matlock! Very sad to see Andy Griffith leave us. Rest in Peace, Andy. Quote
Free For All Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 "Onionhead" was an interesting but strange film. Quote
BeBop Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 This is the e-mail "blast" from CNN. <Actor Andy Griffith has died at his home on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, the local sheriff says. > Something about the fact that the news comes from a sheriff in North Carolina just seems "right". Quote
brownie Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 A Face in the Crowd! He was electric in that film! Quote
BruceH Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 He's gone to that Mayberry in the sky. RIP Quote
Free For All Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I will always prefer the whistled version, but here are the lyrics. Fishin' hole Quote
sonnymax Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 As a child, I was a big fan of the Andy Griffith Show, although Floyd the barber still gives me the creeps. I was just about to update my desktop background (below), but I'll keep it a while longer in his memory. Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) As a kid, when I saw this movie in the theater, it was the funniest thing in my entire world RIP <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U2fSw0ua5K0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited July 3, 2012 by Mike Schwartz Quote
JSngry Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I will always prefer the whistled version, but here are the lyrics. Fishin' hole My favorite version, bar none: Quote
rostasi Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Yup...always liked that version. The LPs have more music than the CD BTW. Ol' Andy seemed like a nice man - lived a full life. Sorry to hear he's gone. He was the "awwww" and the "Shucks." Quote
JSngry Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Floyd the barber still gives me the creeps. Floyd just kept having strokes and Floyd kept on barbering, even when all he could do was sit in the chair and slur his words. You find a barber who can do that today. I dare you. World gone wrong, this is... Quote
GA Russell Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 The actor who played Floyd played Doc on the radio Gunsmoke. Howard McNear. Quote
Dave James Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Anyone remember "What It Was Was Football"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I42JIgfnMYE Quote

Tom 1960 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Nothing but good thoughts about Andy Griffith. He seemed like a genuine nice guy. Edited July 4, 2012 by Tom 1960 Quote
BruceH Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 The actor who played Floyd played Doc on the radio Gunsmoke. Howard McNear. He was in "Anatomy of A Murder" too. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Also he was in Wilder's The Fortune Cookie Quote
PHILLYQ Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Nothing but good thoughts about Andy Griffith. He seemed like a genuine nice guy. In a business full of sharks and con men he was a straight arrow. Much respect and RIP. Quote
