Griffith scaled back his TV appearances after Matlock went off the air. And Andy really took to that, and it's one of the things that differentiates it from what we're accustomed to seeing on sitcoms.' And the kid respects the father instead of being just a wise guy all the time. 'And they really are kids that you kind of think, 'God, somebody ought to just discipline that kid.' But the Andy-Opie relationship was more of a real relationship, where when the kid gets out of line, the father does something about it. 'You know, they always have the kids in situation comedies be brats,' Howard said. In a 1995 interview on Fresh Air, Howard said Griffith brought a rare down-home honesty to their on-screen relationship. Ron Howard played Opie on The Andy Griffith Show. But he later settled into the comfortable persona of a wise, Southern patriarch, a role that served him well both in his Mayberry days and on his second TV hit, the law drama Matlock. Initially, he played a variety of roles, including a maniacal wannabe politician in his debut movie, A Face in the Crowd. That football monologue - released in 1953 - made Griffith famous, and helped propel him to Broadway and then Hollywood. Would you like to record 'What it Was Was Football'?' And I said, 'Yeah.' '

'That summer, I did my first long monologue, and a man named Orville Campbell came up to me and said, 'I have a record company. And I went home and wrote a few jokes,' Griffith said. 'Instead of being hurt, I just started to wonder what I could do with the rest of my life. But Griffith said the auditions failed to yield him a single offer. In college he majored in music, and as a young man, he set off for New York to audition for roles in operettas and jobs in choirs. Griffith's success as a comic actor came even though his first dream in life was to be a serious singer. 'What was really the backbone of the show - we never talked about it - but the backbone of the show and the thrust of the show was love,' he said, 'the deep regard that these people had for one another.'
