It's okay to just discard a video yourself if you know for sure it's a dupe.

Dead Chuck reminds me a bit of Andy Griffith in that clip.

The prototype for Hank Kimball "Green Acres", and Reverend Jim Ignatowski "Taxi." My folks come from a farm about 15 miles from Mt. Pilot, (Pilot Mountain) It's a real place and Andy Griffith did, indeed, grow up near there.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'Sweeney Todd Andy Griffith Mayberry Tim Burton Stephen Sondheim parody' to 'Sweeney Todd, Andy Griffith, Mayberry, Tim Burton, Stephen Sondheim, parody' - edited by kronosposeidon

It got me on Isaac the bartender on The Love Boat, Larry on Three's Company, Hawkeye's shrink Dr. Freidman on M.A.S.H... but I GOT HIM on Ernest T. Bass from The Andy Griffith Show!

The robber looked like Otis the town drunk of Mayberry (Andy Griffith Show)

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

This show was created by Harvey Bullock, who was a principal writer for others shows such as Love American Style, The Love Boat, Andy Griffith Show, and Hogan's Heroes, to name just a few.

diggin through the dusties.
just the facts from youtube: "Nancy Sinatra, Frankie Avalon, & Lola Falana perform a medley of current TV theme songs on the Hullabaloo television show on December 6, 1965.

The following songs are included: Hullabaloo, Bonanza, Bewitched, The Andy Griffith Show, "Moon River", Beverly Hillbillies, "Everybody Loves Somebody", Flipper, Branded, The Flintstones, Action, & Candid Camera"

n.b. they get the Andy Griffith theme wrong, in that it's actually a song called "Down by the fishing hole" (but don't forget your fishing pole)....

well, another fine post. I've always found andy griffith a little creepy, like a weird step dad I'd never want to get close to.

1974 U.S. television movie originally aired on ABC. It starred William Shatner and Andy Griffith. Also includes Robert Reed, Marjoe Gortner, Angie Dickinson.

The story centers on Sam Farragut (Andy Griffith), a sociopathic business executive in Southern California who forces a team of advertising agency employees (Shatner, Reed, Gortner) to embark on a dangerous motorcycle trip to Baja California in order to compete for his business. Shatner stars as Warren Summerfield, a suicidal middle-aged ad executive who has been fired from the agency. Reed co-stars as the strait-laced Paul McIlvian who is disattentive to his wife (Dickinson). Gortner is the young brash art designer feels suddenly trapped after his girlfriend (Janet Margolin) announces she is pregnant. More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pray_for_the_Wildcats

what's with those Star Trek shirts?

Those ABC movies-of-the-week produced many such time capsules of the '70's, which were strange at the time, and have become more bizarre as time passes. Anyone remember "Duel"? - Spielberg's first movie.

**UPDATE**
Bill Shatner has written a retrospective on this movie, at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/4383/shatner.html (credible origin?)
