Andy seems to get a lot of comfort confiding in father figure Floyd even though Floyd just agrees, goes off topic, or parrots what Andy says. Rarely giving any true insight. Sure sets up some classic Floyd scenes. Where else would we here about the dingo dog? Love all those chats Floyd has with all the townspeople, and clients.

That is probably why Andy likes Floyd!

Yeah. Andy Taylor/Andy Griffith both clearly enjoyed talking to Floyd/Howard. They are great scenes. Brought us a lot of fun for a lot of years.
