The Andy Griffith Show

Great family show.

I've been watching this recently.  It's very very dated and very rural but I like it.

[Nightowl]

Yes, It's one of the very few rural shows I actually like that doesn't put southerners in a bad light.

It's kinda like Red Dwarf made by Canadians and Germans.
Its mad, weird with plots that warp the mind!


There's nothing like this show. Yet despite the weirdness and an ambition that the budget didn't always stretch to, it was ealisy as exciting as more mainstream sci-fi as Star Trek and StarGate. In fact, far more exciting.

Theres a station here in SW Michigan-ch.2-that mostly plays religious programs at nite...but in the early evening they play old episodes of 'Bonanza" "Peter Gunn" and...
ROUTE 66
Route 66 ran from 1960 untill 1964.
It's about 2 pals,Buzz (George Maharis) and Todd (Martin Milner)-who cruise around the country in their Corvette doing odd jobs and helping people out.
This was a great drama series,with intelligent stories and believable charecters. I watch it every afternoon.

The musics great too!!!.

I just saw most of an episode of "ROUTE 66" about a week ago on a channel we'd not been receiving before (RTV?)... DOROTHY MALONE sang!!!  It was truly terrible... I loved it!!!    The episode is called "Fly Away Home" (a two-parter, I only saw part one.  One was enough.)  I had never seen this show before, but knew about it.  CORNY CORNY CORNY!!   

[Mr. DS]

Kenny Vs Spenny, the show is hilarious.

A couple of comments on "Route 66."

After personality clashes with his co-star and with the producers of the show, George Maharis walked off the set, only to be replaced by Glenn Corbett, who continued with the show till it was canceled.

And that episode with Boris Karloff is considered to be one of the must see TV episodes, as not only did it star those three grand old men of horror films: Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney, jr., but it was the last time that Karloff donned his classic Monster make-up.
