It's Me! It's Me! It's Ernest T!
Howard Morris only did 5 Andy Griffith shows but each one is remembered by all of us who loved Aunt Bea's cooking, Opie's journalism, Barney's bullet and Andy's home spun wisdom.

Also - I think we may have forgotten Morris when we were naming our favorite character actors - Morris was in all kinds of programs.. He was a favorite of Rod Serling who made sure that Morris was cast in several Twilight Zone's.

Who could forget Ernest T. breaking all the windows in Mayberry? Or when he joined the army to impress Charlene - he had his mind set on marrying Briscoe Darling's daughter, Charlene, even though she was already married....



Howard Morris AKA Ernest T. Bass said:

If a duck stood still you could catch him by the bill.

I don't chew my cabbage twice. And you ain't heard the last of Ernest T. Bass!

I'm a little mean, but I make up for it by bein' real healthy.

If I'd seen you coming, I'd have known what to do. I'd have rais'd both arms and woved at you!

She called me a "creasture"—I ain't no "creasture"!!!


He sang this:

Awright, listen... (He accompanies himself by slapping a large can.)
Old Aunt Mariah, jump in the fi-ah,
Fire too hot, jump in the pot,
Pot too black, jump in the crack,
Crack too high, jump in the sky,
Sky too blue, jump in canoe,
Canoe too shallow, jump in the tallow,
Tallow too soft, jump in the loft,
Loft too rotten, jump in the cotton,
Cotton so white she stay there all night.

2. Since you brought up the subject ...
why the FUCK does TVLand seem to show The Andy Griffin Show non-stop every day?

I swear, every time I hit that station, it's on!
