[C.Dark.DN]

RIP.

I only knew him as Matlock. Such legendary character and show, used to watch it with my folks when I was a kid. Angela Lansbury is the last murder mystery solver left since Peter Falk has passed too

This needs to change.

RIP Andy

If you want to see Andy Griffith in a role unlike anything he ever did, watch Murder in Coweta County. AG as a racist plantation/mob boss, and Johnny Cash as the lawman who brings him down.

 

[Aaron89]

RIP. I still watch The Andy Griffith Show reruns.

 

[lazybones18]

RIP

If you haven't seen it yet, check out a movie he starred in back in 1957 called "A Face in the Crowd"

Great movie

 

[radios shipping overview]

Thought he would live forever. RIP.

I have always thought AGS was a talk show so I never bothered to look it up I will get the show in my hands somehow.

 

[forrest]

Odd, I was just thinking about him the other day and wondering how he was doing. My dad is a huge fan of the Andy Griffith show so growing up it was always on the tv whenever it was on. Love the show and was sad with Don Knots passed.

RIP

 

[FStop7]

WTF!!! I was just watching Andy Griffith last night and commented to my gf how it was amazing that he's still alive.

So what you're saying is that you murdered Andy Griffith.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Andy was a legend. RiP.

[Human_Shield]

RIP. Sheriff and Matlock were two of my favorite characters as a kid. Such an amazing entertainer. He'll be sorely missed.

 

[The Technomancer]

Doo doo doo do do do doo do...

 

[Lothars]

I will miss him, It's quite a shock that he died.

 

[Grym]

Will be whistling the theme song all afternoon

RIP

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

No... Matlock is on right now, I shall watch it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Definitely a classic. Watched The Andy Griffith show religiously alongside I Love Lucy and Gilligans Island as a youth.

 

[Big Baybee]

Grew up watching the AGS and Matlock because of my family. This is really sad. Last thing I heard about him was when he endorsed Obama back in 2008.

 

[Slayven]

RIP

^ this is that video I was thinking of. Before I used to see it and go "why is he eyefucking Andy Griffith, how creepy", but now it's kind of a drag.

 

[NaturalHigh]

If heaven is real my dad is so fucking happy right now. He's probably kickin' it with Andy as we speak.

RIP Andy. Thanks for the great television.

 

[jmdajr]

WHAT? I thought he died years back. Seriously.

same

RIP. Not a bad trip on Earth.

 

[Marvie_3]

Damn. I still watch AGS and Matlock reruns.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Man my Grandma had me watch every episode of AG as a kid.
Loved it .
Best episode.

RIP

 

[The_Inquisitor]

RIP Andy. You created a legacy that generations will watch.

 

[bengraven]

RIP. Mayberry was a huge part of my growing up. That and Andy's football story which Fnord referenced above.

 

[LQX]

R.I.P Matlock was a guilty pleasure for mine.

 

[dysonEA]

I love the Andy Griffith show, as a kid and as an adult. Was watching through the whole series again on netflix a while ago. Man, so sad Andy past away

 

[Live Free or Die]

Wow. :-( R.I.P. Andy Griffith. I love the Andy Griffith show.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Man my Grandma had me watch every episode of AG as a kid.
Loved it .
Best episode.

RIP

Michael Cera?

 

[Princess Viola]

Shit, RIP. For some reason, I always watched his show when it was on.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Goddamn. Rest in Peace. Fuck I grew up with him. From the Andy Griffith Show Reruns during the mornings to Matlock in the evenings. Damn. I normally don't let these celebrity deaths get to me but this one is. Rest in Peace.

Everyone needs to seriously watch this movie. Absolutely in my top 3 all time.
Andy Griffith is amazing in this, and it was his first ever role I believe. He stopped doing films for decades after it because how scary the character became to him.

He went on do the the Andy Griffith show so he could play a genuinely nice character. Opposite of the movie.

 

[AlteredBeast]

DAMN! Knew this day was coming for a while.


Matlock is still one of my favorite shows ever.

 

[wenis]

Man, I remember teaching myself the Andy Griffith theme over a whole summer. Id sit around watch reruns during the afternoons just whistling along till I got it right.

He lived a great life though and left the earth a television classic. That's a great way to go.

great scene.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

I met him at my grandmother's funeral some years back. Very kind, gentlemanly guy. RIP

 

[Pre]

RIP

I never watched much of Matlock, so I know him primarily from the AG show. I used to watch it at my grandmother's house as a child. Fantastic entertainer.

 

[ronito]

Dude introduced me to Don Knots.
He's a hero in my book.

 

[bort]

RIP

edit. he was also in that awful Spy Hard movie

Seriously, Peter Falk died. I am not sure if I'm aware of it or not.

RIP Falk and Griffith!

RIP, amazing actor

 

[VALIS]

He was a very likable actor. I never had any interest in the Andy Griffith Show and avoided it growing up (even though I loved many other 1960s sitcoms) but just within the last couple years decided to give it a shot and liked it a lot. Gentle but still amusing humor and charming characters, particularly Andy.

 

[Vilix]

Does this mean Fife is Sheriff?

 

[IsntChrisL]

I really liked Andy Griffith. RIP Andy.

 

[PhoenixDark]

RIP

I used to watch the show all the time. Despite being an old show the humor and lessons resonated with me even as a kid

 

[Chosen3]

RIP. Matlock was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. The theme music is one of the best ever.

 

[demon]

A legend. RIP
