Doug, To those of us who identify TV shows with what the show is about, the majority of viewers, MASH is nothing at all like "ANDY". You're not thinking like Joe TV Viewer, but more like an insider, a student, or a TV geek. THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW - Single father, Sheriff, son. THE RIFLEMAN - Single father, Sheriff Deputy, son. FLIPPER - Single father, Fish & Game Warden, two sons. GENTLE BEN - Single father, National Park Ranger, son. and if I remember correctly DENNIS THE MENACE used to follow THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, GENTLE BEN, and FLIPPER on KTLA back in the day, so I just threw that one in there out of nostalgia. Didn't THE MUNSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY follow "Dennis", circa 1975? Think back to those golden years. ================================================ "Years from now we want to go into the pub and tell about the Terrible Conflagration up at the Place, do we not?" | ||||

...and don't forget "My Three Sons"! "Think back to those golden years." I do. "Yo, Rinty!" | ||||

You got me there - that's exactly how I'm thinking. The characterization was the same, the development, the writing style, even the camera technique was identical - few TV sitcoms used the "one-camera" technique. "Live Forever!" | ||||

As a child, I had to suffer with a black and white TV in my bedroom. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

Doug, Thee two kids in the Andy Griffith Show and Gentle Ben were real-life brothers. p.s. "Opie" is now a grandfather. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES A FAMILY AFFAIR NANNY AND THE PROFESSOR I DREAM OF JEANIE BEWITCHED THAT GIRL THE FLYING NUN BRADY BUNCH PARTRIDGE FAMILY THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW DANNY THOMAS MY FAVORITE MARTIAN THE FBI DRAGNET THE HIGHWAY PATROL THE FUGITIVE THE BOUNTY HUNTER HAWAII 5-0 LOST IN SPACE VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA WILD, WILD WEST THE VIRGINIAN THE BIG VALLEY ALIAS SMITH AND JONES DANIEL BOONE DAVY CROCKET THE LONE RANGER =============================================== As I recall, growing up in L.A. in the early 1970s, channels 11 and 13 had more of the family and girly type of stuff while 5 and 9 had the boyish stuff, crime dramas, Sci-Fi and westerns. ================================================ "Years from now we want to go into the pub and tell about the Terrible Conflagration up at the Place, do we not?" | ||||

I know; and Clint also appeared on the Griffith Show occasionally as peanut-butter sandwich eating Leon, a little fellow about town who always wore a cowboy suit. He would always offer a bite of the sandwich to passers-by, who would always respond, "no thanks, Leon." Funny running gag. "Live Forever!" | ||||

In Chicago, there was nothing better than UNCLE JOHNNY COONS at noon. Have lunch with Johnny when you run home from school, and as Johnny drinks a glass of milk with you, tells a joke and laughs, he just might have milk bubble out of his nose in his sudden chuckling (Probably by accident! Hmm!). My ultimate favorites were the 'STUART ERWIN SHOW'. Great character actor. And nothing better than any of the 'SHOW OF SHOWS' with Sid Caesar (who had a part in the Wonderful Ice Cream Suit). | ||||
