Which TV dad said this — Howard or Andy?

Are these quotes from Opie's pa or Mr. C?

 

Young Ron Howard was not only fortunate to star in two classic sitcoms — he also had the benefit of growing up with two wonderful TV dads!

On The Andy Griffith Show, Sheriff Taylor was always ready to spout some folksy wisdom. On Happy Days, "Mr. C" had even more children to rear, which probably led to a little more snark in his fatherly advice.

So, think you can tell the difference between an Andy saying and a Howard line? Which classic television father said it?

Watch The Andy Griffith Show on MeTV!

  14. "I guess it's a time like this when you're asked to believe something that just don't seem possible. That's the moment that decides whether you got faith in somebody or not."

  16. "We're not trying to get into Better Homes and Gardens. We're trying to survive a nuclear attack."
