Ashcroft bans Andy Griffith

Unbelievable!

The Andy Griffith Show to be censored. What is this country coming to?

My favorite: Aint Bee's Pickles.

Yours?

Is this a joke?
Why on earth would this person consider Andy Griffith a threat?

My favorite: The first one where Barney says he got his job on his merits, and Andy says "Got got that right cousin Barn!"

If this is true, and I find it very hard to believe, you guys have a SERIOUS problem on your hands.

The funny thing--or deeply troubling thing, depending on how you look at it--is that even though this is a joke, people don't find the notion of Ashcroft doing something like this either unbelievable or patently absurd.

Perhaps it's because he's one of the few characters for whom all the urban legends are TRUE. (Crisco annointing, losing a senate race to a dead man, draping statues, making his staff sing lame songs he wrote, etc...)

Or this:

Citizen's A-RAY-yest! Citizen's A-RAY-yest!

It's funny to see an unattributable quote grow wings.

Barney talking to prisoners:
"Now men! This is a maxumum security prison. Here at the rock we have 2 rules!
Rule number 1...Obey all rules!
Rule number 2...Do not write on the walls as it is hard to remove!"

Please explain, I don't get the race card comment.

This thread's purpose was to have some jovial conversation about a very funny show.

Favorite episode:

When Barney gets taken on the '56 Ford "creampuff" he buys from the "sweet little old lady" (the actress, Ellen Corby, went on to play Grandma on The Waltons)

I wonder why that episode would be a CAR SALESMAN'S favorite? (snicker, snicker....)

HAHA...is that the one where the steering wheel comes off in his hands?

I saw not too long ago the one where Barney gets a motorcycle and soon is camouflaged waiting for speeders.
