	The Andy Griffith Show
		The Andy Griffith Show was one of the most popular and memorable comedy series of the 1960s.
		Griffith's homespun characterizations were already well-known to audiences who'd seen his hayseed interpretations of Shakespeare on The Ed Sullivan Show and his starring roles in the films A Face in the Crowd (1957) and No Time for Sergeants (1958).
		He left the show in 1965 and was replaced by Jack Burns in the role of Deputy Warren Furguson.

	Griffith, Andy
		The Andy Griffith Show began as a "star vehicle" for Griffith, who had achieved his initial success with recordings of humorous monologues based on a "hillbilly" persona ("What It Was Was Football," "Romeo and Juliet"), which led to an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
		Griffith's creative vision took a very different approach to TV comedy, in which place, pace and character were equal and essential contributors to the overall effect.
		Griffith left the show in 1968, feeling that he had contributed all he could to the character of Andy Taylor.

	The Andy Griffith Show Summary
		The show operated on at least two levels: there were the corny, nitwit antics of the supporting players, who provided most of the humor, and there was also the straightforward presentation of the occasional story involving a criminal to be caught or a love interest to be established.
		Andy rarely wore his full uniform and almost never carried a weapon, as opposed to Barney, who was never seen on duty without his cap and tie and was so anxious to use his gun, he had to carry his sole bullet in his shirt pocket for safety.

	Andy Griffith: A Who2 Profile
		Andy Griffith capitalized on a toothy grin and southern charm to make TV history with two successful series: The Andy Griffith Show (1960-68) and Matlock (1986-95).
		Griffith got his start in the 1950s playing a country yokel, on radio and in recorded routines like "What It Was, Was Football." He parlayed that hayseed persona into a similar role in No Time for Sergeants, a hit as a TV movie (1955), a Broadway show (1955) and feature film (1958).
		Despite Griffith's extreme popularity, he was never nominated for an Emmy Award for either Matlock or The Andy Griffith Show (he was nominated in for his supporting role in the 1981 TV movie Murder in Texas).
