Most liked and most despised guest character
I really liked seeing Barbara Eden as the manicurist, but I could not stomach Michael J. Pollard as cousin Virgil. What are your most liked and most despised guest characters?
share I liked Bill Bixby as the spoiled young man who learned a lesson from Andy about standing on his own two feet.
Always enjoyed Denver Pyle's appearances as Brisco Darling. Loved Howard Morris as Ernest T. Bass. Enjoyed James Best as the guitar player Jim.
I liked all of Allen Melvin's appearances.He played a variety of characters including Myrt's accomplice, the lady who sold Barney her "late husband Bernard's" car. That brings me to Ellen Corby as Myrt. She was so believable as a con artist, hard to believe she became Grandma Walton!
Cousin Virgil was not a favorite of mine but he was okay.
Actually The Andy Griffith Show had a great bunch of guest actors including William Schallert who was on TV everywhere in those days!
I can't think of any guests that annoyed me as much as Aunt Bea! Francis Bavier. She had a number of good episodes. But when her voice would go all high pitched and shrieky, like a dog whistle, it hurt my ears. lol . And some of the episodes that featured her were my least favorites. Aunt Bee always seemed to be upset or crying over something. The one with her old beau Roger set my teeth on edge. Well it was really Roger and his lame , cornball jokes. I don't blame Andy for disliking the guy and worrying that he'd be his new uncle!
Oh, that Roger Hanover may have been the worst after all. What a piece of work he was... and I have to agree about Aunt Bee... she drove me crazy at times.
