RIP Andy Griffith.
Oh, my - he was quite the man, passed away at 86.
I watched his initial show through reruns, but I was a huge Matlock fan!

I always felt " safe " watching his show, sounds silly. He was a Dad I admired, even though he was a tv dad.
I was really sad when I heard the news yesterday. When I was 3-4, my Dad would come home from work every day for lunch. He would eat and then the two of us would sit and watch an Andy Griffith rerun on TV. It was a really special time for just Dad and me, and I have many fond memories of my Dad doing this. As he worked really long hours, especially in his busy season, sometimes this was the only real "quality time" I'd get to spend with my Dad in a day. So sad, but such good memories.
I watched him in Matlock reruns.
Sad that he died, but he had some good years.
Ernest Borgnine has died.
AWWWW I loved him :(, I 've seen so many of his movies and just the other day saw him in RED with Bruce Willis
We had to study this movie in High School, ( Marty ) what a role for him, made his career!
R.I.P. Mr Borgnine

Borgnine-Dom Santini of Airwolf. I used to joke about the shows of the 1980s-computerized car (Knight Rider), helicopter (Airwolf) and motorcycle (StreetHawk). If only Riptide had a computerized boat...
I loved both these actors.
RIP Jon Lord
