I may be in the minority here but I will take a chance on this. I feel the Cosby show does not not rate on the same level as Andy Griffith. This show portrayed elitism and not a little bit of arrogance.
Little House on the Prairie & the Waltons, I do not wish to offend anyone and I hope you will understand my premise, were a little to syrupy and not based in reality. I viewed them as a romantic notion of what we would like to have imagined life to be but was not. Andy Griffith was realistic, no arrogance, no elitism, no portrayal of any superiority, no syrupy deviating from reality. I think we have seen one of a kind in television history. I feel that there is nothing yet I have seen that can compare. I am personally a big Sienfeld fan but in no way do I compare this show on any level to the honesty of Andy Griffith. I also loved the Cosby show but felt it was not realistic. I am not a big Kenny Rogers fan in regard to his voice however I have great respect for his humility. On a Larry King interview he stated that he was not a star. There were very few stars in a life time. He equated Elvis to be star and further stated that there is not an Elvis in every life time He them mentioned Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. He stated also that other entertainers, if they were lucky could stay on top for 3 years and then try to keep their name alive. I feel Andy Griffith is in this not always in a life time star category. I appreciate everyone's opinions and I hope you accept mine in the same manner.
