He seemed like a toal hick in season 1 with hsi drawl and his saying "slicker than a firepole"
"thats a humdinger right there"
anyone feel like they toned it down?
I agree, completely.
shareYes.
It seems he started to be more the straight man and let Barney and the rest of the town be the comedy.
I think they made the right decision.
It was a wise decision but I think they still could have had Andy be more Southern and just not a goofy hick. He sort of dropped the drawl and all that
shareI think they didn't know how people we're going to react to the show.
Griffith was already known for playing the hickish character so they went with that.
There were still a few times when his drawl came out but not often.
Seems continuity was not a main concern of this show.
Different stories, different names and things like that.
I reckon they done gone and done dat. And to be quite frank, I found such a juxtaposition to be oddly identifiable. Not sure why.
