Politically Incorrect

[DAVID QUINN]

 It has been a while since we have had a good discussion about Andy, and 
today I got to thinking.We all know that TAGS was made back in the 60's, 
and things were a lot different in the 60's.But when I am watching Andy and 
they say something politically incorrect, my ears will perk up instantly. 
Several things were said on Andy that absolutely could not be said on 
television today.Like the time Charlene was going to divorce her husband, 
and Briscoe came to town to give her a lecture.Briscoe told Charlene "You 
have got a husband that hardly ever hits you". Let me tell you, that 
absolutely would not be allowed in 21st century television.

I know there are more examples, and it might be fun to see if anyone else can 
come up with an example of something that could not be said on television today.

Andy and Elvis

[Ben Sandifer]

July 25, 1955, stand-up comic Andy Griffith started a Florida tour at the
New City Auditorium in Fort Myers. This tour was 9 shows in 5 different
Florida cities.

The opening act for this tour was Elvis Presley. Shortly after this, Elvis
became so popular that he would never be anyone's "opening act" again.

Not related to this tour, in July 1994, the band Confederate Railroad
released their song "Elvis and Andy."
