How About A Stamp For The Late Andy Griffith?

Don't you think this would be a good subject for an upcoming commemorative stamp?

*sigh*

Absolutely.

A bit of stamp-related humor from the Andy Griffith show:

Along with Barney, Aunt Bea, Goober, and Floyd the barber.

You forgot my hero...Otis Cambell ...Hal Smith died in 1994

Who is he?

Zee, he was an actor who played a much beloved character on a 1960s situation comedy on TV. Many of us here in Canada, as well as the US have fond memories of the show. I watched it when I was a little kid.
Interestingly the show, "The Andy Griffith Show" was followed by a sequel called "Mayberry RFD". The name of the town where Andy and his friends lived was Mayberry. And it took me until this past year, and SCF, to discover that RFD stands for 'Rural Free Delivery' and of course relates to their postal service. Nice tie in, eh?

It is sad to see the passing of these childhood icons and frightening to realize that they are being replaced by Lady Gaga and the Kardashians. It seems like the American society is going to he11 in a hand basket (and the hand basket is now made in China). So much for progress.

Oh, forgot to mention Ernest T. Bass, the town nut case.

Absolutely, Andy Griffith was a class act. Re-runs of the original show are on almost continuously. You never get tired of watching even if you have seen a particular episode a hundred times.
