Members All My Shadows Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Do you have any idea how many Andy Griffith fans I've come across on the internet in the last ten years who refuse to believe that Gomer could be gay? Whatever the case, congratulations to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I can imagine! There's probably a run on the pepto bismol tonight across the nation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I never thought it would happen. I always thought he'd be one of those actors who would stay quiet to the end (which is their own choice, of course - as long as someone doesn't go around spewing anti-gay bile I don't care if they stay in the closet). Somewhere Rock Hudson is probably laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 The real shocker for me is that Jim Nabors is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 SHAZAM! Congrats to Jim! Marceline, he's been singing Back Home Again in Indiana at the Indy 500 for years; it's a time-honored tradition there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kevm4TfYJWQ He was too ill to make it from Hawaii last year, so they played a pre-recording of him instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aGOrgY48Tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 He's one of the only TAGS cast members still alive, along with Ron Howard (Opie), Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Elinor Donahue (Ellie), Maggie Peterson-Mancuso (Charlene Darling) and...there are maybe a few more, I swear. And yes, I do love TAGS. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's kind of like the shock many get when they discover that Andy was GASP...a Democrat! And he actually supported Obama! I'm definitely happy for Jim, though. He's already had many years owning his macadamia nut farm in Hawaii; this just adds to his happiness .

Members Scotty Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one on here. And Ken Berry (Sam) is still alive...although I never liked his character much. The show really changed with the color episodes. And Jack Burns (Warren) is still alive although I didn't care for his character either. It was just hard for anyone to replace Don Knotts.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not at all! I actually got a TAGS wall calendar this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 This is a bit random, but I wonder if Alberta Nelson (Flora) is still alive? She played Goober's girlfriend in the color episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
