3. Little Ronnie Howard was so cute

4. I know! He was just adorable - and such a talented little actor!

"The Music Man" was my favorite musical since I saw it as a kid - he played Shirley Jones' much younger brother. I once watched an old Glenn Ford movie just because Ronnie Howard was so cute in it. Hard to believe he's really about my age...

8. That Reminds Me of a Scene from Happy Days

Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were waiting in line to get tickets to see The Music Man at the theater. Mrs. Cunningham wanted to see it because the little boy reminded her so much of Ritchie when he was that age.

One of the best lines of any TV show ever made, but how many people got the joke?

5. I meant -- Clint Howard -- is a whiny conservative whining about liberal bias in Hollywood

The little brother

9. Barney's First Car, 1963

1:55 into the video is the set for the episode of "Barney's First Car". At 2:02 you can see Ellen Corby standing next to the blue car that she sells to Barney. It turns out she ripped him off big time while pretending to be a sweet little old lady.

10. Time travel at its best

[Upthevibe]

16. I remember in '08 when President Obama was running, Ron Howard and Andy Griffith made a video

of them walking the fishing pole walk and something about voting for Barack Obama was on the video... I can't believe where we are as a country now.......

[Tipperary]

17. That was fun to watch. I still watch that show. It makes me relax on bad days.

One can only imagine what Andy would have thought of the Dotard.

18. The Andy Griffith show is my escape.

I get to imagine living in a friendly little town with a kindhearted sheriff, low crime rate and old cars.
