    Wow. What a fucking legend.

    Back in the days of three channels on television sets the size of couches and as heavy as cars this guy was on TV like every other hour.

    R.I.P.

    I'm embarrassed that I had to look up what the headline to this post was referencing.

    Who would rank above him amongst TV acting icons? Lucille Ball jumps to mind but then the list gets short real quick...RIP.

     I can't tell you what this man's career has meant to my life.  My dad and I don't have a lot in common.  Don't get me wrong; we get along fine, but we just don't have a lot to talk about.  The main two things we have are the Carolina Panthers and The Andy Griffith Show, and the Panthers didn't come along until 1995 or so.  I can't tell you how many times we would be having a conversation and one of us would drop a causal reference to the show, just to see if the other would get it.  I rarely feel anything when a celebrity dies, but, I won't lie:  This is kinda depressing.

    I liked the "Married with Children" episode where Al caught the serial killer in Dumpwater, Florida but the police wouldn't arrest him because his clainm to fame was he was the man that met Andy Griffith.

    I'm a big fan of his work though. RIP.

    That pantheon is all pretty close: Andy, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, perhaps Mary Tyler Moore. That's all comedy, though--certainly there are a few equivalent on the drama side.

    No, no the TV show.   I had forgotten about that episode.

    Guys: watch A FACE IN THE CROWD. Griffith is the villain. And not just kind-of a bad guy. He's a fucking sociopath. It's amazing.

    If you're looking for a comparable drama character...I dunno maybe someone from "Gunsmoke", which was on TV for 20 years.

    I think the OP was thinking about actors as opposed to characters, really.

    Elite TV royalty, people who everyone knows and remembers even now, is Lucille Ball, Johnny Carson and Jackie Gleason.

    There are others that people won't automatically think of...Milton Berle, Sid Ceasar, that should get the recognition as Ball, Carson and Gleason. 

    Then there are people that everyone loved, but are below the above listed...MTM, DVD, maybe Seinfeld and Ted Danson.  I'd put Griffith in there.
