How popular are your opinions about Sheriff Andy Taylor?

Who should Andy have married? And should he have told Aunt Bee the truth about her pickles?

 

Andy Taylor sure (or as he would say s-u-u-u-u-u-ure) is a likable fellow and fantastic father. The Andy Griffith Show proved that time and time again. 

But nobody is perfect. There are times you perhaps questioned the Sheriff's decision making. You might even think he married the wrong woman.

That made us wonder. We'd like to see your opinions on some of Andy's actions. Answer the questions below — and see how your take compares to other fans.

Joanna Moore had some of the most beautiful eyes of any actress of her time.

Helen was awful. I agree that most any of Andy's other girlfriends would've been a better match. I voted for Peggy.

I agree, Helen was a self absorbed bitch.

I definitely want to see Ernest T. Bass as a permanent deputy. "It's me! It's me! It's Deputy T."

GeoRubik was totally correct. Helen Crump was the absolute WORST of all Andy's girlfriends. She was a witch with a capital B

The show pretty much ended for me when Barney left. I've watched all the episodes and have the entire series on DVD, but rarely watch the color episodes anymore. The show lost more than the rapport between Griffith and Knotts. For me, at least, it didn't translate well to color. I've never liked the one color episode of "Perry Mason" either and am glad the show ended before making the transition. It worked out for "Gunsmoke" and a few others, but some shows just seemed to belong in the black-and-white era.

I voted for Helen, but think about the comedic possibilities if Briscoe Darling was Andy's father-in-law.

I remember "Ellie" when she was on "Father Knows Best" as a teenager.

Andy should have married her - smart AND pretty.

I thought Andy should have married Miss Peggy. I can still hear Floyd saying...”Mr and Mrs Andy Taylor”. Best show ever...love em all.

I liked Ellie better too! Helen was Opie's teacher. I only agreed with about 60% on the survey and I have seen almost all the black and white episodes. I would like to see more of the color episodes shown the other 11 months of the year.
