I was just about to start a new post about Andy Griffith's passing and I see I'm a few minutes late. Griffith was one of my favorite performers of all time, and the Andy Griffith Show is certainly among the greatest in American television history. His relationship on air, both with Don Knotts as the straight man, and Ron Howard as the single dad, are unparalleled.
And if you've never seen the film "A Face in the Crowd" (his 1957 screen debut), put that on your short list of must-see films. And check out some clips on youtube in the meantime.
We lost a giant today. Rest in peace Sheriff Taylor.
