Jud Fletcher (played by Burt Mustin) on The Andy Griffith Show

Grandpa Walton (played by Will Geer) on The Waltons, I wasn't too crazy about Grandma Walton though. She always seemed kind of grumpy.

Don Rickles!

Once he was on the Tonight Show and Rickles was making fun of Johnny and he took offense and told Don that "his face could stop a three day rain......write that down...A THREE DAY RAIN!" Much funnier to see the video.

Thelma's definitely oon my list. She likes to come off as a curmudgeon, but when it comes down to brass tacks, she's nothing but an old softie.

But I can't say she's my #1 favorite-that title goes to Sophia-she really is a cool old broad.

I was watching Carol Burnett Show during a Mama's Family segment, with Mama and Eunice getting into it, when Mama tells her "You got splinters in the windmills of your mind."

That was classic.
