Even though when I grew up these TV stars and shows were only in reruns, I still remember watching them. I do remember the age of black and white television and the days before cable.
I remember when there was one TV in the house and it was in the living room. I absolutely loved watching those old shows like Andy Griffith and Gomer Pyle. In fact, my son likes watching them today on ME TV. So, it was really cool to get some insight on some of the legendary actors who made those shows come to life. My favorite interview was the one with Jim Nabors. I learned a lot about his time with Andy Griffith and it actually cleared up a few misconceptions I had about how long he was on that show before Gomer Pyle.
