Joe Flanagan Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Wasn't Matlock set in the 1980s? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Posted October 7, 2011 not sure..did not follow that show...just happened to be on the TV while I was at the computer a minute, heard themsay old Plymouth and looked around..noticed a few minutes later a dark four door Plymouth..did not see it in time to really identify..this episode was a 30 year flashback edition I guess..

Frank Elder Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 The car was payment for matlock and his father solving the case, black man accused of murder by whites in georgia that turned him from a prosecuting attorney to a defense attorney at the very start of his career.....his dad restored the car and matlock kept it after his fathers death. It was the only payment the family could afford....Shoot, why can I remember this stuff and still forget what I did yesterday!!!!:eek: Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Posted October 7, 2011 maybe what you do does not matter...I at least think this is what most folks think of me...lol Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I could never see Andy Griffith as a private eye. It just didn't work for me. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 There must have been a couple of these flash back episodes because I saw one a couple of weeks ago where a lady and a guy teamed up to kill her husband. He drove this caddy about a 1955 and the brakes were messed with, Matlocks father was his mechanic and mantained that the car was always flawless. She (the wife )drove a 1955 T-bird in the episode. The young matlock and his father solved the case while he was on summer break. This was a great episode. I saw that movie with him as the radio then TV guy. He was so wild in the movie I could not believe it was the same guy. At the end of the movie he kept screaming "Don't leave me" Don't leave me. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 You mean the one where Andy Griffith plays a preacher or a politician or something? That was really edgy. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Posted October 8, 2011 I could not see him other than the sheriff of Mayberry and taking into account the company he kept..hard to ever take the man seriously..about on the same level as seeing Archie Bunker as police chief of Sparta.. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 You mean the one where Andy Griffith plays a preacher or a politician or something? That was really edgy. yeah, preaching and yelling. it scared me;) Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Yeah, that's the one. It was one of the first things he was in. He was really demented. So different from Mayberry and all that you couldn't believe it was the same guy. I was surprised he didn't have a career in film. Quote

greg g Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Andy was also in No time for Sergents, and in a Dramatic role in A Face In the CRowd with Walter Mathou (sic) that film was also the screen debut of actress Lee Remick. Didja know that he appeared as a small town souther Sherriff on Making room for Daddy (the Danny Thomas Show) on an episode where Danny's character gets a speeding ticket while traveling through the southern US?
