    Ready for inspection sir: RIP Andy Griffith

    I hope I am not the only one to remember No Time for Sergeants and the toilet scene. I had always hoped to see that again on YouTube, and found out he died today.
    Thanks for the laughs.

    He was certainly enjoyed by me.

    Loved the football monologue and his "Big Orange Drink".
    Andy Griffith's famous 1953 stand-up monologue about college football. It has become one of the most beloved comedy recordings of all time.The illustrations...

      He was a natural. The toilet scene was one of the great scenes in the movie.

        That's sad. The Andy Griffith show way before I was born. But I loved watching the re-runs when I was a kid and still often catch them on late night. Probably watched every episode half a dozen times. Matlock was also a great show.

          My 14 year old step-son is basically a good kid, but has some genetic attitude issues. Somehow, the Andy Griffith Show still reaches him and makes us both laugh like school girls. Timeless lessons 5 decades later...

          RIP Andy!!

            I remember watching that toilet seat scene with my dad when I was a kid....pretty funny stuff!

            I've probably seen every episode of Matlock and the Andy Griffith Show....some several times. I felt like I knew him. I'm sad to see him go, but am glad he was here.
            Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

              Not only a great actor has been lost. He was one who believed in CLEAN entertainment that could also teach moral lessons ato kids.

                Certainly one of the greats, I used to watch him on Matlock and always enjoyed those shows... he will be missed.

                  Here's a story written by Ron Howard about this memories of working with him.

                  Ron Howard shares memories of Andy Griffith and professional and life lessons learned from him.
