How popular are your opinions about Sheriff Andy Taylor?

Who should Andy have married? And should he have told Aunt Bee the truth about her pickles?

 CBS Television Distribution

Andy Taylor sure (or as he would say s-u-u-u-u-u-ure) is a likable fellow and fantastic father. The Andy Griffith Show proved that time and time again. 

But nobody is perfect. There are times you perhaps questioned the Sheriff's decision making. You might even think he married the wrong woman.

That made us wonder. We'd like to see your opinions on some of Andy's actions. Answer the questions below — and see how your take compares to other fans.

I tasted Aunt Bees Pickles. Greatest Pickles ever. Andy And Barney taste buds failed them.

57%, the biggest discrepancies: Andy to Minneapolis 52%, Alice Harper-Griffith over Helen 43%, and the Darling deputies to bring some finer music to the courthouse on a daily basis 42%

Helen was awful. I agree that most any of Andy's other girlfriends would've been a better match. I voted for Peggy.

I definitely want to see Ernest T. Bass as a permanent deputy. "It's me! It's me! It's Deputy T."

GeoRubik was totally correct. Helen Crump was the absolute WORST of all Andy's girlfriends. She was a witch with a capital B

The show pretty much ended for me when Barney left. I've watched all the episodes and have the entire series on DVD, but rarely watch the color episodes anymore. The show lost more than the rapport between Griffith and Knotts. For me, at least, it didn't translate well to color. I've never liked the one color episode of "Perry Mason" either and am glad the show ended before making the transition. It worked out for "Gunsmoke" and a few others, but some shows just seemed to belong in the black-and-white era.
