I was a little disappointed that anyone would answer "The Simpsons" because from what very little I have seen of this show (less than a full show), the standards (children disrespecting their parents, parents drinking to excess) are just not up to The Andy Griffith Show or Father Knows Best. Easy on us there, Orville! "The Simpsons" may not be your cup of tea (and that's okay, I fully understand if what you mentioned offends you), but television's longest running comedy series does have a lot of fans on this list (myself included). And Barney Fife himself popped up on the show a couple of times, in one instance even talking through the TV to Chief Wiggum. Ron Howard also popped up in two other episodes, both times voicing an animated version of himself. For the record, the Simpsons do live in Springfield, and the family dynamic does match, but any true Simpsons fan knows they live on Evergreen Terrace, not Maple Street. Dixon ************* Dixon. Thank you for chiming up with such candor and supporting information. Orville. Thank you for contributing your view as well. I understand now that you are not a huge fan of one of my favorite shows. I respect your viewpoint. Our Mayberry society here is a collection of many numerous opinions and some lively, legitimate debate is always enjoyable and inspires the day. There is a reason they make more flavors of ice cream than just vanilla. I restrain myself from ranting regarding my abject distaste arising from the injection of bible passages and heavy religious overtones that regularly appear in the Digest; I fairly doubt that any of those viewpoints were considered when TAGS was written and I do not adhere to those religious beliefs. I have loved TAGS for 50 years for None of those reasons, and I do prefer my TAGS without consideration of any religious connotations. Yet, as a contributing Mayberry citizen in general good standing, I must respect that for some inexplicable reason, some people actually... can you even believe it... prefer butter pecan ice cream over the chocolate ice cream that I adore. We both enjoy the ice cream, we just prefer a different flavor.. Double scoop cones on me!! Everyone in the truck.......
