For eight years The Andy Griffith Show ranked at or near the top in TV polls. The single, solitary reason for its popularity was Andy Griffith,
himself. Not only was he a marvelous and appealing character, he also had a heavy hand in the shaping of each and every show. In short, he knew
good material from weak; acquiring that skill during his years as a traveling entertainer in and around North Carolina. In those years he wrote all his
own stories and jokes and performed them in front of small audiences. He called himself Deacon Andy Griffith. Well, Deacon Andy went on to
perform in front of many millions of people sitting in front of the television sets every week.
