Even had Jack Nicholson on several times. You could look it up.Do we have any Andy Griffith fans on here? We had a thread about MASH. Barney was always good for a laugh and being a buffoon, for some reason I have been thinking about Barney the last few days. Good thing he only had one bullet.

Loved the show as a kid. Still love the show as an adult. Andy was a great guy. Wish I could be as a good a dad as he was on that show.Do we have any Andy Griffith fans on here?

Good clean entertainment. When we first got a TV when I was young it was one of the shows we were allowed to watch.
That was great and illustrates the TIC reason I started this thread .
I can't quite put my finger on how and whom but I thought the same thing !
I thought he ended up a landlord at some really progressive apartment complex in California.
Andy lost a bet and that is how Barney was hired as a deputy dog.
Some may disagree but I think that Sgt Schultz is what made Hogan's Hero funny.
Mr Roper>Mr Farley.
The funny thing about Hogan's Heroes is how Klink could destroy the violin but in real life he was supposedly a good violinist.
I have a rule for all of the congregations I have served. If anyone asks what their pastor's favorite show of all time is they better know it. It's the Andy Griffith Show. If anyone started to argue with me about it I say NIP IT. NIP IT IN THE BUD!Do we have any Andy Griffith fans on here? We had a thread about MASH.

It was a couple of years ago that I learned that many of the Nazis on that show were actually Jewish. So they got paid to make Nazis look stupid. This info made me feel very good. John Banner who played Sgt. Shultz was an Austrian Jew who was out of the country when Hitler invaded. He didn't come back and then went to the U.S. where he joined the Army. He went back to fight against the Nazis. I saw a picture of him that was an add for the Army. He was a good looking young man then so they made him a model.
I used to watch it as a kid and enjoyed it. He tried to do a lot of good and I think he accomplished his task.
I think he's kind of the role model for the way in a person should interact with the world. Probably an unattainable standard for 99.9% of the population, but a nice thing to aspire to.
There is a movie called, "Mayberry Man". It is somewhat cheesy, but I enjoyed it. One of the points was that Mayberry is not just a fictional place,but it is a way to think and live. It is all about treating people as well as possible. Now we all mess up. Not to preach, but this is why Jesus died for us on the Cross. We mess up or sin because we don't live 100% in the right way we should.
I don't think humans can live 100% the right way. We are flawed, all of us. That's why the concept of forgiveness is so important and powerful.
Of course we all judge things as either right or wrong. But we are not to be judgmental. What you are really talking about is humility. When I start seeing others as, "them" instead of seeing all of us as, "we" then I might get off course. There is an old saying, "Remember, when you are pointing your finger at someone else you have three fingers pointing back at you". Jesus who is the God Man believed in right and wrong. For God is the ultimate judge on what is right and wrong. Yet He told us in Matthew 7:2-5 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
Yes, I think the concept of humility--moral humility--is a great one.
His father was the great conductor Otto Klemperer who left Austria with the rise of the Nazi party there; he was Jewish:
Sure, I have read other cultures and religions. I do like that quote from Confucious. If you boil it down it says we are all our own worst enemies and we actually contribute to the evil of the world from one degree or another.
My all time favorite show, but only while Barney was still on it, or when he guest stared a few times after it. I’ve seen every show, and still watch a rerun now and then, but only the Barney episodes.Do we have any Andy Griffith fans on here? We had a thread about MASH.
