If it was a fictional show with fictional characters, it could be different, but since the name carries Andy's name, no stamp!! Actually, it's only Andy's image that can't be used (until ten years after his death), his name is another matter. When the Postal Service did the "Celebrate the Century" series, the '90s was represented partly by the TV show "Seinfeld." Since Jerry was and still very much is with us, they didn't show him, but they showed his last name as the show's title against the backdrop of his apartment, as seen on his show. A stamp devoted to "The Andy Griffith Show" would still be doable, they just wouldn't be able to show Andy or Opie or (for another seven years) Barney. They would be able to show Aunt Bee, Floyd, or a generic shot of the town square and the courthouse. But personally, I'd prefer to see Andy on a stamp honoring his show and hopefully that won't happen anytime soon for obvious reasons. Dixon **************New year...new news.
