Ronny Howard: Happy Days or The Andy Griffith Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which character of Ron Howard do you like the best: Richie Cunningham on "Happy Days" or Opie Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show"?
Also, what is your favorite "Ron Howard" (Richie/Opie)episode for each show?

I prefer Ronny Howard as Opie Taylor. Maybe it's just me, but when Ronny hit the teenage years he just didn't seem as funny as he did when he was younger. He sure is a wonderful director now though.

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

Dale Midkiff is my man!

Opie Taylor on Andy Griffith Show

I liked him on Happy Days as Richie Cunningham and as Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show also.

Well, I think Ron Howard is very talented both in acting and as a director! I thought he did very well in both roles!

lukes42 · 01-03-2002, 11:10 PM

Well, I guess I know him better as Opie Taylor, so that's what I say, Opie Taylor!

JPJ · 04-07-2002, 03:47 AM

Easy! As Opie but I get the feeling he'll become more recognizable as a helluva director pretty soon!

Maybe not as identifiable as Lucas or Spielberg but close!

I never imagined him as a little boy of the south lol, I liked him on Happy Days much better. He was a cute teenager and I like how he was the prep on the show, but he was a cute little boy on the show too. When he got older ugh let's not even go there!

Buddy · 04-17-2002, 04:45 PM

..this isn't easy. i guess he was funny at both, but Opie Taylor has got the edge..but i think ronny howard's whole career is incredible

Tiger32 · 04-18-2002, 11:34 PM

I liked him best as Opie, however his role on the Andy Griffith show was small by comparison to his role on Happy Days.

But he was pretty good in both roles.

DetectiveGriffin · 04-19-2002, 12:47 AM

I personally like him better as Richie. I like him even better in B-movies though

ficlopri · 05-04-2002, 11:57 PM

Both characters were just as good!

Big TAGS Fan · 05-25-2002, 12:22 AM

I like Ron much better as Opie. He didn't seem to be the same as we knew him on TAGS. I guess it was just him being older and all.
