Classic TV has been part of our lives for decades, and sometimes the characters feel like old friends. We turn to classic television to escape today’s realities, and in many cases, we’ve known these actors and actresses longer than some of the friends in our own lives.

Today, we’re giving you the chance to decide which classic TV best friend you’d want for each unique situation. Need someone to help you move? These characters can try. Need someone to give you advice? They’ve got you covered!

Take the quiz and choose your friends carefully!

About The Andy Griffith Show

Weeknights at 8pm & 8:30pm

One of television's most warmly remembered comedies, 'The Andy Griffith Show' follows a small town sheriff and his bumbling but well-meaning deputy. It may be quiet and relatively crime free in Mayberry, and its sheriff's demeanor may appear easygoing, but Andy Taylor is always on the case. The warm stories and subtle humor of this universally adored television classic continue to charm and captivate audiences more than 50 years after its original airing.
