Mayberry was one of the few prime time TV shows that displayed true
family values borne from a simpler yet much richer time in our recent

Andy Griffith is one of a handfull of TV personalities that was able to
do good, and leave a lasting positive footnote in TV history.


That was all ruined when he did a political ad for a candiate in 2008, trying
to capitalize on the "Andy of Mayberry" character.

It was fun to watch before the ad, now it is just politics.

Sad.
