I don't intend to sound blasphemous about this, but it grieves me deeply that Andy Griffith would handle the case of the Wisconsin name-changer-sheriff-candidate the way he apparently has. C'mon, Andy, with all due respect, couldn't you just think back to how Andy Taylor might have dealt with such a trivial matter as this? Maybe Hollywood has taken its toll on you. Afterall, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (sic) and no one seems to have benefited or profited from the spoof as far as I can tell. And as for the CBS roadblock to a purely well-intentioned creation of a Barney Fife statue to further immortalize Don Knotts and the beloved American icon that he created, what a sad, but all-too-accurate reflection of the corporate greed-driven society that we live in today. Isn't this the very reason we would all prefer to really live in Mayberry? I'm glad to know that Mr. Hartman assisted Mr. Hellebrand in recouping his financial investment, but that's really not the point of this sad debacle.
