Back in middle school, the driver of the bus I rode on whistled it over and over everyday for his whole route.

Kinda of a moon pie face but cute. Wonder if Barney ever shot his one bullet in Thelma Lou?

Best show ever. Thelma Lou was a great character but the best looker on the show was Ellie Walker

If you were female and on the show he made you earn it.
Hell he probably took Aunt Bea for a shag

Wrong. Nurse Peggy was a fine woman. Would have married IRL

Sad to hear.
Opey is about the only actor from that show still alive.

RIP Ms Betty. What a great cast she was part off.
I guess that leaves Ron Howard as the last survivor of the original cast of the show.

Fun fact…Betty Lynn wasn’t originally from Mounty Airy, but moved there because she liked the people and recognition.

Nurse Peggy
She - Joanna Moore - is Tatum O’Neal’s mother.
I believe she had serious substance abuse issues.
But she was definitely the most beautiful of Andy’s GFs.
