I must confess I did not vote for any of the couples listed in Ken's ballot list...and was surprised that Andy and Peggy weren't listed...I think when all is considered Peggy would have been as good or better match for Andy than Helen...Let's take a look at that thing... 1. Both Andy and Helen showed a sense of jealousy toward one another Helen (Fun Girls, lady lawyer, Andy's cousin) Andy ( Bob, and The teacher she worked with,)..There was no jealousy shown between Andy and Peggy 2. Both Helen and Peggy had issues with Opie but they were both worked out... 3. Peggy loved to cook for Andy and Opie, Helen said her husband would have to eat TV dinners 4. Peggy went fishing with Andy and Opie, Helen never did 5. Peggy showed a "mother figure" toward Opie, Helen seemed to stay at a professional level 6. Peggy sat on the porch and shared time with Andy and Opie, Opie was never included in Helen's time with Andy 7. Peggy even went so far as to become a blood brother to Opie and tuck him into bed... I do believe Helen and Andy made a fine looking couple but based on the above I believe Peggy would have been much more suited for both Andy and Opie....
