Very sad cheese.:(

Very folksy sad cheese for Andy Griffith.

My dad and I used to watch a lot of The Andy Griffith Show and The Rifleman, and he always said he wished he could be the kind of father that Andy Taylor and Lucas McCain were.

Widowered.

But seriously, I can still watch The Andy Griffith show for hours at a time. It's a sad day.

Another TV icon gone:(

His memory lives on in reruns of Arrested Development.

I can't recommend highly enough Andy Griffith's performance in "A Face In The Crowd," in which he plays a reactionary "everyman" media figure, kind of a prototype Bill O'Reilly. It's an amazing, obnoxious performance.

Back in the 70s, it felt like Ernest Borgnine was everywhere. The Poseidon Adventure and Willard were the two that made the biggest impression on my little brain.

Sadly, this is how we learn that masturbating can't save you forever.
