I forgot my fav. episode!

Hands down, episode 45- Richie Fights Back

I love every episode with him (pre-1980), but anything before 78 I LOVE!!!

I am agreeing with MilknPepsi, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEA HIM ON HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!! Happy Days is a great show, I liek him better as Richie

Well, I was an Andy Giffith Show/Opie Taylor fan LONG before I became a Happy Days fan. (Even though Happy Days in now my #1 fave show) I thought little Opie was adorable, but Richie C. was gorgeous and funny. I can totally see little Opie growing up to become Richie. I mean, they had the same good manners, politeness, charm. Opie definitely would have grown up to be Richie. So, they're a tie to me. In a way, I can see how they are just a continuation of the same person. I have a feeling that this is just because Ronny Howard is probably mostly like that in real life.

Also, someone made a comment about Ron Howard being compared to Spielberg. Believe me, Ron Howard has already left his mark on the world. The man is a genius, pure and simple. How many people can pull off being in two hit shows as a main character, and then storm through Hollywood as a great, award winning director/producer. Think of all those movies he has made. Ron Howard is the best!!!

Yeah, I do have to give Ron credit for being in two hit shows. Most child actors fail miserably trying to recapture the fame, but Ron is just one of the few that made it past that barrier.

Ron Howard was GREAT in Happy Days, and the fact that he left upset so many balances that the show never reached the peak it had reached when he was on the show. What was Fonzie without Richie? And vice versa

But everytime I hear Opie Taylor say "Paw" or my favorite "I don't want ya to go, Aunt Bee. I want ya to stay." or "MEAT!!!" I just start to cry and laugh at the same time. He is so...I'm going to go a bit girly here, cute and adorable, and you just want to pick him up and tickle him so much because then he'll laugh that cute little laugh and he'll smile with such little teeth and he's so cute!!!!

....sorry, got a bit gushy

K-Man · 04-28-2003, 01:56 PM

Oh, it's got to be Opie in "The Spoiled Kid", where Opie tries to throw a tantrum. No matter what he does, it doesn't phase Andy. I think that was the most hilarious scene I've ever seen on TAGS... even beating out Barney's many great lines!

I_Love_Fonzie · 04-28-2003, 05:10 PM

I like Ron Howard better as Richie Cunningham, but I also like him as Opie Taylor.

Just Popped In · 08-04-2003, 01:41 AM

Although I like both shows just the same, I much prefer hiim as Opie Taylor than as Richie Cunningham. He was such as darling little boy.

Don't get me wrong, he was cute as Richie (cute enough that I would like to have dated him if it was based on looks alone), but Richie's personality didn't shine like Opie's did (in fact, I think that Richie was kind of square and annoying at times)

ricardo/mertz · 08-17-2003, 01:07 AM

Although I love Richie C, Ihave to pick Opie. He was so adorable!

ConservativeBalla · 08-20-2003, 06:16 PM

Opie Taylor!

Mr. Television · 08-20-2003, 06:29 PM

Although I like The Andy Griffith Show slightly better than Happy Days, I liked Ron Howard better as Richie Cunningham.
