Reminder: Andy Griffith Show marathon today on TV Land

[Faygo Kid]

They are actually taking a break from Everybody Loves Raymond to spend some time with Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee, et al. From 11 a.m. EDT to 8. First up: Opie the Birdman.

Don't the trees seem nice and full?

1. Of course in the tradition of TV Land Marathons, they'll ignore the fact that...

...there are like 150 good episodes available from the B&W (& Barney) era and run the same 8 or so episodes they ran yesterday. Not that it's a bad selection, but c'mon-- most racing marathons don't run around the same city block over and over for 3 hours...

2. Sorry, Freaks and Geeks beats it out.

On Sundance.

Every time I watch F&G I realize how freaking great it was.

3. I'm a Boomer.

With all due respect, I grew up without a Dad. Really.

My role models were Andy Griffith and Al Kaline. I think I chose well.
