The stuff that's not The Andy Griffith Show or Matlock

 

Here's a MeTV rarity: An Andy Griffith Quiz that isn't about The Andy Griffith Show. To take it a step further, it's not about Matlock, either!

Andy is everybody's favorite guy, but we want to see how well you remember the rest of the stuff he's in! Movies, TV shows, you name it. He's got a record or two, as well.

So let's take a look back at Andy Griffith's filmography and TV credits list. Good luck, and be sure to share your score in the comments section below!

Recently I watched him guesting on episodes of Carol Burnett & Flip Wilson shows, he wasn't funny.

#6 is incorrect - Andy Griffith only appeared in the very last episode of Centennial.

He was good in Hearts of The West from the mid-'70s with Jeff Bridges.

10 out of 10. But #10 almost threw me because I remembered it as something about Cade. Cades country or something like that. He drove a bronco or jeep.

"Cade's County" was a one season 1971 show starring Glenn Ford.

6/10, and guessed. He was in a tv movie where he hunted some guy for sport. He was also in the film 'Rustler's Rhapsody' where he played the bad guy.

10 for 10, but I will confess to a lot of educated (and lucky!) guesses. I probably only *really knew* 3 or 4 of them.
