OHH NOes is Opey the only Mayberryer left?

 

[bobcollum]

That is incredibly sad.

He lived a long, and probably pretty great life though.

I think so.

It is, and he did.

I am currently quite sad, since I was jealous of Opie. I think a lot of kids wanted him for a dad.

 

[Warrior102]

I just heard this too.
Very sad.
The man was a class act.

He underwent quadruple bypass in 2000.

Not that I know of. He'd been married three times, is still married, and he and his first wife adopted two children. Andy Griffith, Jr died of alcoholism in 1996.

Never watched the Andy Griffith show much, but did watch Matlock a lot.

You missed out on a lot then. Great bunch of actors/actresses - all of them. Very well written. Classic Television - at its finest !!!

The show out-dates me by quite a bit, but it was still getting a solid syndication rotation while I was growing up so I saw a good amount of it.

When I hear people tell me how great it was to grow up in the 50's I think of Mayberry.

So sad.

[Douger]

One of the very, very, few truly good men ever to be seen in Hollywierd.
Ron Howard(another good one) will be shaken.

 

[Big Black Dog]

Deep regrets. He will be missed.

I also just found out that Gomer Pyle USMC was a spin-off of The Andy Griffith Show.

I didn't know that.
