It was Fifty years ago that the Andy Griffith Show hit the airwaves. One of the best shows of all time. Certainly one that doesn\u2019t age like so many other shows of yesteryear<\/span>. A favorite of my Mom\u2019s, I grew up with it. My boys love it and watch it on their own. In an age of IPods<\/span>, IPads<\/span>, Wii<\/span> and XBox<\/span>, it\u2019s nice to come into the living room and see them, on their own, kicking back and watching old reruns of Andy, Barney, Opie<\/span>, and the gang. Thanks for all the enjoyment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
