since i've been sick, i've been watching a lot of t.v. i've sorta gotten hooked on matlock.
i never really watched matlock the first time around and maybe that's a good thing because maybe i wouldn't have liked it the first time around and if i hadn't liked it the first time around, i probably wouldn't have checked it out the second time around and if i hadn't checked it out the second time around, i probably woulda had to watch the price is right which, if i hadn't been sick before, i sure as shootin' woulda gotten sick watchin' the price is right.
matlock stars andy griffith, which you probably already know and while i already knew it, too, i didn't fully know it. it hadn't sunk in. when i think of andy griffith i think of andy taylor, period. i mean, who doesn't?
ben matlock and andy taylor are a lot alike. they're both southerners and they're both just folks. ben's richer than andy, but not by a whole lot and besides, ben and andy don't care about money anyway.
ben matlock and andy taylor both play the guitar. neither of them are married anymore. they each have one kid. difference is, opie grew up to be a big-time famous hollywood film director and lee ann grew up to be, well, i have no clue what lee ann grew up to be.
lee ann also wore shoulder pads and sprayed her hair into oblivion. i don't think opie ever wore shoulder pads - except maybe on the pee wee football field - and i know for a fact he never used hair spray on his hair.
he used brylcreem on it once, though. stole it from his dad. had to sweep the kitchen floor for a whole week for that.
