Classic TV Haters Vandalize Andy Griffith Statue

I don't understand why anyone would want to vandalize any statue, but a statue of Andy Taylor and his son Opie? That's just madness!

But that's what happened to the statue that TV Land put in Mt. Airy, NC, with green and red paint.


TV Land also has statues of Mary Richards in Minneapolis, Bob Hartley in Chicago, Ralph Kramden in New York, Elvis in Hawaii, The Fonz in Milwaukee, and Samantha Stevens in Salem.


I give TV Land a lot of grief for their programming decisions, but I'm impressed they're actually flying someone to NC to repair the statue.

Boo hiss to whoever spray-painted the statue. :mad: But it's great that TV Land is sending someone out to fix it.

How did I miss this? :eek:

Terrible!

I don't understand why anyone would do this either! :(
As Andy said on a show, That man (whoever did it) won't die regular – he's just going to just 'nasty away'.
