I believe I once read an interview in which Andy said he really missed Don
and just didn't have the enthusiasm for the show as he did earlier on. It's
a shame about their miscommunication and Don's commitments preventing his
continuation; I think things would have been very different since Andy
himself contributed a great deal to the writing of the shows. I think he
just sorta' lost his oomph, so to speak. But I agree with Dixon, we should
focus on the ones with warmth in them despite the losses. When you think
about it, even those we are not fond of are a lot better than almost
anything on TV today and still transport us to our hometown for a pleasant
visit and escape from these days!
