Where To Watch
Let's play matchmaker for Andy Taylor
We're rewriting Mayberry history.
When you devote a lot of time to one of your favorite television shows, the characters can start to feel like people we know ourselves! It's like Andy Taylor has become your friend and you only want what's best for him.
While we all know who Andy ends up with, that doesn't always mean that that's who you think he should have ended up with. We just included his some of his main squeezes in our poll below, but if you have an underdog that you think should've won the sheriff's heart, sound off in the comments!
Watch The Andy Griffith Show on MeTV!
Weeknights at 8 & 8:30, Sundays at 12 & 6 PM

Who do you think should have been Andy's soulmate?

70% similar. 😁😁😁😁😁
Wow!!! 20% similar. I picked Mary Simpson.
Peggy, maybe
Wow, Andy really got around. But the question all those Mayberry women should be asking is what REALLY happened to Andy's wife?

They didn't put Daphne on here. They didn't put (although they didn't date, she thought that Andy proposed to her) Ellen Brown.
I picked Peggy. My second choice would be Ellie, My 3rd is Helen.
HELLen Frump?
Really?
Really?
I choose Peggy ❤️😇
Wow, Mary Simpson only got 3%.
She was the sweetest I think.

Helen Crump and I don't even watch Andy Griffith
That's why you picked Helen. If you watched you wouldn't pick her.
Definitely Mary Simpson, but played by Julie Adams (not Sue Anne Langdon). Second would be Peggy McMillan.
Ellie and Helen were both a little too prickly. Not sure who Alice Harper was. Of the remaining ones, I think Charlene would have been most interesting. Another that would have been interesting would be Daphne (the "Fun Girl"). And you know who else would have been an interesting mate? Thelma Lou!
Mavis Neff. She just loved his laugh wrinkles.
Helen was just stuck up and annoying
I always thought there was something fake about Peggy. I mean, even as a young child she seemed fake to me so I was glad she didn't stay around.
Karen, definitely Karen.
She was stunning, yes--especially her eyes--but she was a strong, independent woman whose skeet shooting skills would've made for many happy outings with Andy.
Opie and Aunt Bee took an immediate liking to her, and she would've made a great addition to the Taylor household.
I wish she'd made more than one appearance.

Absolute worst episode of the entire series
Helen Crump, of course!
Ellie Walker was MY soul mate. I still think she is the most beautiful woman on TV.

I preferred Karen myself, but she was only on once. She was played by Gail Davis, who was my childhood heroine when she played Annie Oakley. For those who don't remember her, she was the spunky blonde, Thelma Lou's cousin from Arkansas, who beat Andy in skeet shooting (how appropriate!).
20% similar - I chose Mary Simpson thinking she was the nurse played by the beautiful Julie Adams and not the nurse played by Sue Ane Langdon, as someone said below. Am I right or wrong? Not a big fan of Sue Ane Langdon (that voice...ugh!!) so if SHE is the Mary Simpson in question I would change my vote to Peggy McMillan played by lovely Joanna Moore. A very close second. Her singing with Andy on the porch is one of my favorite scenes. And not that you asked but for third place I will echo what someone wrote below, Gloria played by the also lovely Jan Shutan.
Hey, if you haven't noticed, this has already been done and Helen Crump won! Ellie was a wash out from Day One and the rest weren't even in the running. Miss Crump was only supposed to appear in that one episode, but it rapidly became clear that they had that elusive elixir -- on-screen chemistry.
