Knots left after season 5. The show sucked after that. I don’t consider that show the same show. Don Knotts won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy series all 5 seasons. One of the great comedic actors of all time.
Andy said pretty much the same - saw it an article years ago. He said the first few years were gold/magic, and then after Don left it was just another show.
One of my all time favorite shows (again, the first years) - Andy and Don were amazing together but they also did a great job with all the side characters (Otis, Gomer, Floyd, etc.) of creating the little world of Mayberry.

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
Mary took to running with a travelin' man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
Could be holding you tonight
Could quit doing wrong or start doing right
You don't care about what I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink

I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words
Could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Between Hank Williams' pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain't nobody feelin' no pain
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

Only way to measure historical greats in sports is how they fared vs. the peers in their era.
Babe Ruth hit more home runs in 1920 than any other team in the American League.
Any. Other. Team.
No one today is even sniffing the farts of that kind of dominance.
Put that stat in your pipe and smoke it, whippersnappers.- 2

In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest
These arms of mine, they are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
If you’ve got the money, honey
I’ve got the time
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah
On a warm summer's eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep- 1

What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same and nothing that you did mattered?
That about sums it up for me. -
Jim Croce - limited in volume but had some great ones.

Jerry...Newman and I are engaged in an epic struggle for world domination. It's winner take all...people cannot be trusted.
Oh, it's "Risk." It's a game of world domination being played by two guys who can barely run their own lives. -
Have you not cruised around the vintage and used shops?
Estate sales too. -
Roger Staubach - my first real sports hero as a kid.

I always figured New Year’s Eve was created specifically to land a week after Christmas for folks to blow off steam/get loaded after spending the holidays with their families (see thread in this forum for Exhibit A).

I will smash your face into a car windshield then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

When these topics come up I think of the old Tex Schramm (original Dallas Cowboy GM back in the day for you whippersnappers, UT class of 1947) prediction decades ago that with TV driving everything, eventually the games would just be played in a giant TV studio.
Probably won’t get there in my lifetime, but with the fan experience and attendance continuing to decline (not to mention the cost escalating) and the at home viewing experience as good as it is, may not be far off.

Highly recommend the book “Andy & Don” if you’re a fan of the show - was written by Don’s brother in law, Daniel de Visé. Tells the story of both of their early lives/childhoods and their real life friendship. Not a smear job by any means but does uncover the real people behind their characters/public personas. Very entertaining and a quick read.
