Andy was a true American icon. Everyone loved "America's Sheriff". Jim

That was when we laughed at what was funny. And his shows were fun. And he was as Jim said, an American Icon.
Today, the best selling, most talked about book is about bondage and domination, and one of the top movies is about a male stripper... We had already lost most of our pride, character, humor and compassion as a Nation. Now we have also lost one of those great reminders of that wonderful simpler, more family oriented time in America. Rest in Peace Andy Griffith! David The New Hemi Guy |

OK, a little trivia question in honor of Andy:
In the show, what was the relationship between Andy and Barney besides Sheriff and Deputy? .

Here is a tough one. Andy Griffith played a bad guy in one movie, it was about dirt bikers in the hills out west somewhere.
