[MOPO] off the subject of BARNEY FIFE........ but it relates to the B & W movies

[Michael B]

if you have to list the top 10 comedy tv characters of all time, of course---- BARNEY FIFE !!!!!! 

 

i recall an interview with Andy Griffith............  he said the show "changed" in the last year for 2 reasons.  Barney left, and it went COLOR.

 

Yes, the mood changed with COLOR.  the show was sooooooooooooooo great, moody in B & W.  Mayberry didnt look nice in color.  Opie was grown, and Barney gone.  No longer that innocent B & W town.

 

(can you imagine the Munsters, Car 54, Addams Family, Dick Van Dyke in color??  YUCH!!!

 

Even Lucy changed, when we actually sa her red hair..............    Lucy in color wasnt the same)
