I love Andy Griffith

Actor Andy Griffith has a new role: pitching President Barack Obama's health care law to seniors in a cable television ad paid for by Medicare.

The TV star — whose role as sheriff of Mayberry made him an enduring symbol of small-town American values — tells seniors that "good things are coming" under the health care overhaul, including free preventive checkups and lower-cost prescriptions for Medicare recipients.

2. Heard he turned down the GOP's commercial offer
to push Aunt Bea down the stairs before stealing her retirement money.

3. There are many reasons to love Andy Griffith
If all he had ever done was 'No Time For Sergeants' and 'A Face In the Crowd' he'd be a top notch part of our culture, but he did so much more. And he's a Democrat.
His early comedy recording 'What It Was Was Footfall' is also a classic.

13. I just watched for the first time the other day.
Great movie! Suggested by a DUer.

Now I know what Kieth O. is saying when he calls Beck "Lonesome Roads"

8. Trust me, he wasn't chosen because he's Andy Griffith, he was chosen because he's...
Matlock.

Ask Grandpa Simpson.

16. Me too.
My favorite parts are when Barney is talking to one of his girlfriends on the phone and Andy quietly walks in and starts eavesdropping.

Then Andy starts mocking Barney and he flips out and musses up his own hair. I laugh every time.

20. Excellent! Nice job, Andy. Golly.
Time for the Republicans to nip their opposition. In the bud.

21. K&R!

We met several actors that appeared on the show back in 2002 & 2004. We never met Andy, but we love what he is doing.
