The Rifleman or Andy Griffith?? Login/Join

TAGS for me. But no real complaints about The Rifleman.

For TAGS, I am always conflicted when I see Andy do something that we might consider a lie, to effect a greater good.

As an example, in one show he and his girlfriend escape a cave-in. No one knows about the back door to the cave, but when Andy and Helen find it, they get out and head to town. Hearing the townspeople berate Barney for being overly directive, and realizing Barney would be destroyed if they were not rescued, they go back in the cave and pretend to be in mild distress. Barney is a hero, yet not a true hero.

Many episodes have similar untruths leading to greater good. I guess that's real life.

Only saw parts of the The Andy Griffith show in reruns; can't recall an episode. There was something about the characters that just didn't work for me; a bit too hokey/simplistic and Griffith rang false to me in his demeanor.

Thought the Rifleman was ok when I was younger, but now don't care for it; the characters don't work for me now, either; guess I have less 'willing suspension of disbelief' now than I had back then.

The joys of PlutoTV, The Rifleman, Andy Griffith, and a whole slew of other great shows are on 24/7!!!

I get Andy Griffith on Xfinity, TVLand.
I was going to mention my favorite episode, "Three Wishes for Opie", and guess what was on? Razz
Great episode. I really enjoy the program.

I think my next favorite is the haunted house episode.

Aside from AG, I enjoy Little House on the Prairie. For such a tame show, the dad Charles gets his share of punches in.

I was a wee lad when I watched the episode of The Rifleman where a big ass rattlesnake came along and snuggled with Lucas. I always make sure the tent is zipped shut 24/7! Eek
