While playing Sheriff Andy Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show Andy loved to have fun on the set with his fellow cast members what in the world would cause him to completely lose it while shooting an episode There had been a moment of anger while filming the second season of The Andy Griffith Show that had caused Andy to put his fist through a wall; but even then He was quick to regain his sense of composure he felt a great deal of regret about that particular outburst What we’re talking about here is different This was a moment that was shared with me by a trusted subscriber to my YouTube channel who had a parent working on the show’s set on the day that it happened if you’re looking for anywhere else on the internet to verify the story that follows I’ve looked myself and it isn’t out there you will understand why it is actually quite reasonable to believe that it is true let’s just get one thing out of the way Andy Griffith and Andy Taylor are two different people Even the best let a little bit of themselves slip into their performance simple life charm of his television counterpart and he made no secret regarding where his political allegiance lay Although The Andy Griffith Show shied away from controversial topics, the actual Andy Griffith could often be found engaged in a healthy and robust debate regarding many of the different issues of the time. Way back then, Andy was a big advocate of equality for all people, and an even bigger supporter of President John F. Kennedy Andy just happened to be on set when he got news that the man he’d admired so greatly had been assassinated It was the one time that cast members say they saw Andy become unhinged and pounding on the filing cabinet that served as a prop in his courthouse The crew knew that this was a moment that had to play out They let Andy be as he did his best to work through the swirl of emotions that had erupted from within According to this particular account, there was one cast member, however, who recognized the moment as something different. It was a moment to come to a friend’s aid, a moment to be there by his side while he tried to deal with what had just transpired. How could, in these modern times, something so horrible happen? Don Knotts didn’t have any answers but he rushed to Andy’s side and placed his arm around his upset friend The cast and crew decided that there would be no more work done that day each one departed and dealt with the grief of the moment in their own unique way Don stayed with Andy until it was clear that he was okay and then Andy Griffith’s outburst was completely understandable Each of us deal with traumatic situations in different ways; and his one especially dark day on the Mayberry set simply solidifies just what a special man this actor was which hasn't been shown on television for decades Star Trek and more fun TV of the 1950s and 1960s KENT – Transfer Rayvon Griffith has joined Kent State men's basketball Ohio native will join the Flashes for the upcoming 2025-2026 season Griffith comes to Kent State University from the University of Cincinnati where he spent the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons Griffith played in 20 games last season going 13-38 from the floor and 14-17 from the free throw line He scored a season high of eight points twice on the season for the Bearcats in both their season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov Prior to college Griffith originally attended Cincinnati's Taft High School before enrolling at Compass Prep in Chandler while also being ranked the nation's 11th best small forward by 247Sports He led Taft to a state championship during his junior season "I am really excited to bring someone with his versatility and talent into our program."

The Clean Air Act generally preempts individual states from setting their own vehicle emission standards. However, section 209 of the Clean Air Act allows the Environmental Protection Agency to waive state preemption for California. This carveout was intended to allow California to implement stricter air vehicle emission standards to address “compelling and extraordinary circumstances” involving local air pollution – not to remake the auto industry and limit consumer choice nationwide.  The Biden EPA granted these waivers that have allowed California to ban sales of new gas, diesel, and hybrid vehicles, as well as heavy-duty trucks, while also mandating 100% electric vehicle sales by 2035. With approval of these resolutions, Congress is exercising its important oversight responsibilities and reining in the regulatory overreach of the previous administration.  Office2125 Rayburn House Office Building The Austin School Board of Trustees last week began a termination process for Nicole Griffith who is on paid leave from her position as principal of Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders made during an April 24 school board meeting occurred about a month after Griffith abruptly resigned in late March Her resignation followed a district investigation report recommending her termination The March 24 report also recommended the termination of Stacie Holiday The board’s April 24 vote recommended terminating Griffith’s employment contract but the process requires a second vote to be finalized and she may request a due process hearing beforehand told the American-Statesman that Griffith intends to pursue the hearing educators notified of a decision to terminate their employment before the end of their contract with a school district can request a hearing with an independent examiner an examiner typically schedules the hearing within 60 days The report alleged Griffith failed to follow district procedures during an incident with a student and although the event "does not reflect serious malice," it did "reflect a serious and consequential failure of leadership The report alleged that Griffith mishandled the situation by failing to notify a parent about withdrawal procedures denying enrollment without lawful justification and denying access based on disability-related symptoms the district had placed Griffith on administrative leave with pay Griffith sent Superintendent Matias Segura a letter noting her resignation was effective June 30 Holiday sent a letter that her resignation was effective March 28 Holiday did not return the Statesman’s requests for comment Hanner said the investigative report was misleading and partially false adding that Griffith’s actions were a direct result of advice from her supervisors and district legal counsel “You should be able to rely on the lawyers for the district to give you accurate information district spokesman JJ Maldonado said the district stands behind the processes for the investigative report The report also recommended Holiday's termination for failing to follow district policy regarding a student with a disability and for excluding a child based on disability-related characteristics The report detailed multiple interviews with campus-level and administrative staff conducted through January The board made the decision regarding Griffith’s pending termination after a meeting where dozens of parents passionately voiced their support for her Griffith had been in her second year at Ann Richards which is a specialty all girls’ sixth through 12th grade campus with an emphasis on science The legislation would facilitate faster permitting and financial support for copper projects Department of Energy nominees Wells Griffith and Dario Gil during their confirmation hearing Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday approved two of President Donald Trump’s nominees to serve in top roles at the Department of Energy and advanced legislation that would open copper projects to more funding and streamlined permitting The panel voted 14-6 on Wells Griffith to serve as undersecretary for energy drawing support from ranking member Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.)

The charismatic and soulful Griffith died on April 2, 2025 at Montefiore Hospital in Bronx notably as the lead “Jesse” in Wynton Marsalis’s Pulitzer Prize– and Grammy Award–winning Blood On The Fields (1994) He co-led the Griffith-Stevens Group with pianist and composer Michael Jefry Stevens whose loving eulogy we are honored to share below Griffith also played a major role in saxophonist John Ellis’s ambitious extended works The Ice Siren and MOBRO appearing alongside fellow vocalist Gretchen Parlato among others Parlato’s warm remembrance leads off our JazzTimes tribute followed by Stevens and then Ellis himself One time we were performing as a quartet opening for Art Farmer Miles had come over to my apartment in Brooklyn and we rehearsed several songs in specific keys I really thought I was prepared for the gig We got onstage and he started singing some other standard tune so eventually I just came in playing the standard key Miles immediately jumped into my key and the show went on Often on tour in Europe he would have the audience singing back to him as he scatted repeating what he’d just sung.  Language was no barrier His music invited people into his unique musical world When Miles sang everyone could feel the joy passion and love that his music represented Our first concert together was a live performance of my original vocal music at Greenwich House in New York I eventually released that concert under the title Songbook Miles and I began touring Europe in the early 2000s as the Griffith/Stevens Group That quartet recorded our CD Only Love in Zurich sometime in 2007 This recording featured original music by Miles and myself Miles also wrote lyrics to my composition “I Found You.” The last conversation I had with Miles was about one month ago He called to tell me that his son loved my piano playing on a particular tune of mine Evidently his son had sampled literally five seconds of my playing and repeated it over and over while creating a hip-hop beat over this loop of my music I was lucky to be his friend and musical colleague As a performer he could be almost possessed multifaceted voice that could be both rough and silky; it could mysteriously sound like a very low high voice or a very high low voice The growl at the beginning of his notes grabbed everyone who heard it and instantly made them sit up straight He could surprise with unexpected dissonance and power and volume He had a phenomenal sense of pitch and phrasing Sometimes it felt as if he deliberately encased the seriousness and the directness of his voice in humor Maybe he felt he needed to protect us from its power; maybe encountering his voice without its protective coating would be like looking directly into the sun He was very childlike — he always called me “Ell-i-os,” singing it using words as much for their sound — for their music — as for their meaning He was perfect for my extended piece The Ice Siren He was equally able to communicate the heartache and the dark humor that the story called for And the contrasting blend of his voice with Gretchen Parlato’s created a wonderful alchemy In MOBRO he embodied the power of the storm crashing in and upending our protagonist’s well-laid plans His depiction of the storm was sometimes so powerful as to destroy the microphone he was using And yet he could just as easily modulate into pure and blended instrumental vocalese with Johnaye Kendrick during the “Mutiny/Rebellion” section called “Self-Knowledge,” is hard for me to listen to now as it talks about coming to the end of life’s journey with a sense of understanding and acceptance That’s something in regard to Miles Griffith that is hard for me to conjure I first heard of Bunky Green when I was a student at Berklee College of Music.

Homes and Crematory – Crystal Lake Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church even described Andy Griffith as “one of the few genuinely funny comedies in the medium” in a 1963 TV Guide Magazine article that reported he often visited the nearby set “What hits me is that the people are characters,” he added That’s certainly been key to The Andy Griffith Show‘s longevity and the other mildly eccentric and eminently lovable residents of the small Southern town of Mayberry have entertained generations for 65 years — even ones who weren’t yet born when the sitcom premiered on CBS on October 3 MeTV rolls out its annual “Month of Mayberry” celebration by airing special programming from what we like to call the Mayberry Television Universe Gol-ly! As Gomer might say, that’s a lot of homespun charm. Yet in a TV landscape with a maddening amount of shows and movies to choose from, The Andy Griffith Show remains the ultimate in comfort TV. Originally airing on CBS Mondays from 1960 to 1968 it produced 249 episodes in its eight-season run and was a Top 10 hit from the start Today, fast-talking comedy characters and mockumentary sitcoms move at a frenetic pace, which makes the leisurely gait of Andy Griffith — and its character-rich comedy — a balm to the weary soul. Series cocreator Sheldon Leonard pointed out to TV Guide Magazine in 1961 that “ideas for shows are plentiful but personalities are rare.” He was referring to Griffith but he could have been talking about anyone in the cast whose comic antics as the often inept deputy earned him five Emmy Awards and were a highlight of his scenes with Griffith were the only two cast members honored by the Television Academy The show lost all three times it was nominated and Griffith never received a single nomination for his performance Sheriff Andy, a widower whose loss could have made him bitter, was instead a strong but sensitive man who saw to the ministrations of precocious son Opie, and would court and eventually marry schoolteacher Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut) Andy’s weapons were simple: common sense So we continue to turn to Andy Griffith as a place that has the warmth and humor of home Just don’t ask us to taste Aunt Bee’s pickles Sign Up 25 years after the show took its final bow cast members reunited in 1993 for a TV special is infrequently seen today — but fans can tune in for a very special presentation of it on Sunday as part of the channel’s special “Month of Mayberry” celebration which will be airing special and rare episodes of The Andy Griffith Show brush up with this flashback to the show that brough Mayberry together once again introduces a number of classic clips from the show and provides his own memories — and then brings Howard and Jim Nabors in for a series of one-on-one interviews about their favorite episodes and memories of working on the show Among the memories discussed are how Howard’s real-life relationship with his father inspired Opie’s relationship with Andy and how Nabors’s first episode of Andy Griffith was actually his first acting job ever The special even includes home videos from the set The special didn’t just include interviews with the stars of the show — it also included some celebrities giving their take on the classic series including Randy Travis, Burt Reynolds, Reba McEntire, Lisa Hartman and more Kenny G and football players Howie Long and Steve Wright In addition to airing episodes each weeknight, MeTV will also air the 1986 TV movie Return to Mayberry which served as a romantic comedy that pays tribute to the original series was successful and could have potentially led to a new Mayberry series — but Griffith was committed to an additional season of Matlock at the time Do you remember watching it live on television in ’93 the channel will air 'The Andy Griffith Show Reunion: Back to Mayberry' for the first time in decades In 1960, Thomas was doing well with his hit show, originally called Make Room for Daddy. However, his production company was looking to expand on the show’s success, and after they found Andy Griffith they decided their next hit show was going to star the burgeoning comedian and actor already known for his comedic timing and Southern charm had made a name for himself on Broadway and in film but instead of launching a brand-new show cold they decided to test the waters by introducing Griffith’s character in an episode of The Danny Thomas Show called “Danny Meets Andy Griffith.” It aired on February 15 Do you remember watching the backdoor pilot and the eventual premiere of The Andy Griffith Show Bill was a 1964 graduate of Kent Roosevelt High School and went on to attend Kent State University He was drafted into the United States Army KY as a drill instructor and cook and spent a year in Germany as a military police officer Bill was employed as the director of food service and auxiliary operations at Kent State for 34 years he was employed part-time at the Akron City Club and Twin Lakes Country Club Bill attended United Methodist Church of Kent and was a member of Kiwanis United Way and the Kent and Streetsboro Chamber of Commerce He was a fan of the Cleveland sports teams loved playing golf and softball and enjoyed collecting baseball cards.  Bill leaves his loving wife Jane Griffith; children Jennifer Griffith (Christian Kawalek) of Hawaii Charles Giffith (Liz) of Twinsburg and Jason Griffith (Julia) of Maryland; granddaughters Richard Horsfield of Hartville and Tom Griffith of Kent; brothers-in-law Jerry Gambaccini (Ann) and Douglas Hiestand (Jean-Deceased); and numerous nieces and nephews The family would like to thank UH Cleveland CTICU UH Portage Emergency ICU and Palliative Care Hospice of the Western Reserve and Tamarack Ridge Skilled Nursing A memorial service will be held on Wednesday 2024 at 1:30PM at Bissler and Sons Funeral Home Inurnment will follow at Standing Rock Cemetery Visitation will be prior to the service from 12:00PM-1:30PM on Wednesday at the funeral home please visit the Tribute Wall at www.bisslerandsons.com Ohio passed away peacefully at her home on March 29 Carol was also known to her family and many childhood friends as “Ann” and remained a resident of Coshocton her entire life Carol graduated from Coshocton High School in 1955 The two of them were married on September 23 Carol worked right out of high school in the office at Edmont Manufacturing for several years before leaving to stay at home and raise her children she went back to work for the Coshocton City Schools as a cook where she was known to many as “mom” Carol continued working as a cook until retiring in 2005 from Lincoln Elementary Carol was an avid reader who had to keep a journal to record all of her books She loved playing the piano and playing hausey with her two card clubs she was apart of She enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren in their many sporting events over the years and could be found on Saturday's watching the Ohio State Buckeyes playing football and basketball she loved meeting the ladies she formally worked with for breakfast every Wednesday morning a Pink Lady at the Coshocton County Hospital and a fifty+ year member of the Grace United Methodist Church Kenneth (Jodi) Griffith of Byesville; William “Bill” (Karin) Griffith of Anchorage Alaska; Sara (Kelly) Hartsock of Warsaw; and Kathy (Mark) McCoy of Coshocton; Grandchildren and Kelsey Hartsock; step grandchildren Jordan (Arlee) Foster and Callie Fehrman; step great grandchildren Kailey Johnson and Kieran Ettinger; three sisters Calling hours will be held at the Miller Funeral Home 2025 from 10:00am – 11:00am with funeral services beginning at 11:00am with Caleb Fehrman Burial will follow at Coshocton County Memory Gardens Memorial contributions may be made to Ohio Hospice Life Care,1900 Akron Rd OH 44691; envelopes will be available at the funeral home We shared so many special times together from meeting weekly at Barb's house to multiple dinners both in restaurants and You were instrumental in getting me back to the USA and giving me a home while I waited to get into my apt I will miss you tremendously as you were my one and only big sister I will always remember your patience and understanding when as a youngster I was your designated "tag-along" little brother RIP my dear sister....until we meet again..

The state House voted Wednesday to add an official state TV show to North Carolina's long list of state symbols Lawmakers chose "The Andy Griffith Show" for the honor The 1960s show is set in the fictional North Carolina town of Mayberry which has resulted in decades of tourism to Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy says the show's legacy and life lessons are still relevant a half-century later "The Andy Griffith Show is more than just entertainment," Jackson said It reminded us to treat one another as we would want to be treated Supporters of the bill parked a replica of Sheriff Andy Taylor's car outside the Legislative Building ahead of the vote blasting the show's whistle-centric theme song on a loop But 14 House legislators voted against the bill noting that the show isn't well known among younger generations "The other reason is because there are so many other television shows that I've been made aware of that have been filmed in or have North Carolina as its focus and some of those can be considered as well." argued the other shows that Quick referenced don't make North Carolina places as prominent as in "Andy Griffith." because it finally put us on the map," Hall said

on purchases made from links In the decades since its premiere in October 1960 it'd be the understatement of the century to say that quite a lot has changed While Griffith's Sheriff Andy Taylor and his supporting cast of various friends and family in the fictional town of Mayberry North Carolina will always rank among the best sitcom characters ever the long years have left their mark on the stars and fans alike many of the actors have long since passed away but there still remain a number of living links to the show — including a few very familiar faces Here's all the major actors still alive from "The Andy Griffith Show." Howard appeared in the vast majority of episodes (well over 200 of them) and thoroughly put his widowed father's parenting skills to the test audiences were able to watch the fresh-faced Howard grow up right in front of their eyes throughout the eight seasons of the sitcom getting a taste of all the nuances and complexities inherent in the idea of growing up into one's teenage years alongside Opie Howard shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon he'll always be the freckled and surprisingly kind-hearted Opie and fun fact: His younger brother Clint also appeared in a few episodes of the show (without any lines) as a kid named Leon One of the recurring storylines in "The Andy Griffith Show" was that Andy Taylor was always on the lookout for a love interest One of the earliest such characters intended to become a series regular was Ellie Walker A local pharmacist who only appeared in a handful of episodes in the first season Ellie nonetheless made her presence felt on Mayberry Beyond her flirty friendship-turned-romance with Andy one significant storyline featured her running for town council Facing fierce resistance due to the historically male-dominated position the episode (titled "Ellie for Council") follows her tireless efforts to prove such antiquated notions wrong and marks one of the rare instances of an episode aired in the 1960s that directly tackled the idea of equality between the sexes with notable stops at "Star Trek: The Original Series," "The Odd Couple," "Get A Life," and even the soap opera "Days of our Lives." Currently retired and well-adjusted as Opie needed a whole gang of friends to run around with while his dad was out on the town keeping the peace was portrayed by actor Richard Keith (aka Keith Thibodeaux) for a total of 13 episodes between the third and sixth seasons His first real moment to shine came in the classic episode "Andy Discovers America," set predominantly in Opie's school classroom where thanks to a somewhat flippant comment made by Andy during breakfast about the subject of history he and Opie's entire class are taken to school (literally and figuratively) by their cranky old teacher Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut) Johnny and Opie and the rest of their group of friends would get up to all kinds of mischief together — though not without learning a few important life lessons along the way Howie Pruitt was played by Dennis Rush and was initially established as one of the more rambunctious kids in Opie's class Frequently seen joining Opie on adventures all around Mayberry and play-acting as one of Robin Hood's men in the woods in an episode that deals with surprisingly complicated themes (titled "Opie and His Merry Men") Howie stood out in the early going as one of the more prominent of the children in the series the character would appear in only eight total episodes spread out between seasons 3 "And I got to be in eight episodes over about a two-and-a-half-year period he first got his start in showbiz by being in the right place at just the right time While having lunch his film editor father at the age of 5 none other than James Cagney walked by them On the lookout for someone to play his character's son in a movie Cagney realized that Rush looked exactly like himself and cast him in 1957's "Man of a Thousand Faces."
