There is a dirrerence in Andy's personality throughout the whole run of the show. In the first seaons , he was MUCH more countrfied in his ways and his accent. He would use incorrect grammar ( and so would Barney), but as the show went on you could see that disappearing. One example is in the esp where the guy comes to town to record a folk album. Andy can be heard to pronounce the word BANJO as BANJER......he would also use SICH for such, etc. Also during this time, Andy seemed more prone to pull pratical jokes and just sometimes act silly. I think of these years as the HAPPY GO LUCKY YEARS.
Then in the middle of the run, Andy seemed to be more educated in his speech. I enjoy these epsisodes most. I think they were really in their stride. Andy was still cheerful, but you can see the difference. Then in the post Barney years, Andy really seemed to change a lot. He doesn't have the humor of Barney to play off, but he even seems a little distant to Goober and the others. I am not being negative, but just stating what I see. I don't like these episodes as much...mainly because Barney was gone. It would have been great to have had ten years with Andy and Barney together. I know we should be thankful for what we have now, but I do wonder what all they could have done if Barney had just stayed in Mayberry. The best show ever on tv...period. _________________________________________________________________ Invite your Hotmail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwsp0070000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://spaces.live.com/spacesapi.aspx?wx_action=create&wx_url=/friends.aspx&mkt=en-us _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
