Ron Howard reprises his role as opie Taylor - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I woke up this morning and saw this on Politico: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/cc65ed650d

Apparently, Howard teamed up with Andy Griffith and Henry Winkler to reprise the Opie Taylor and Richie Cunningham characters to endorse Obama. I'm not too big on the politics, but it's awesome to see Richie and the Fonz together again.

(Ha, I already posted this in Happy Days, but I figured both groups would be interested!)

I saw the little Promo.

I love that! I watched it on the Happy Days site, but it's just as funny the second time around! Both Ron Howard and Henry Winkler have excellent tastes in candidates! Oh and Andy Griffith too! I loved seeing Ron and Henry together and wow... what transformations!

I was surprised (happily so) because I thought Ron Howard and Andy Griffith were Republicans. Cute video

I was surprised (unhappily so) because I am a Republican and I don't like it when actors take sides in politics. I mean, half of their audience is not going to agree with their political beliefs. I still love the show, but I know a few people who won't even watch Andy anymore because he endorses Obama.

I don't think their political choices would ever stop me from watching TAGS. That's a personal thing just as my choice is personal.

It won't stop me either, but it turns some people off to see an actor endorse someone or something they don't believe in and then a great show like The Andy Griffith show loses a fan.
