New Floyd link

To me the supporting characters in the Andy Griffith Show were far more better than the main characer. In the early episodes Andy Griffith played his chracter in a way that was fun, but when Barney left the show his chracter changed and became dull and boring to me. He needed Barney to compliment in his chracter. Andy had fun with other characters and went well with them, but that seemed to change in the later episodes.

But Floyd stayed the same. I liked Floyd. In the episode 'Quiet Sam' when Barny tells Floyd to get a posse together, it's storming. Floyd is sitting at home in his chair. He tells Barny his wife has a stick he can use. Seeing Floyd was like seeing an good ol' friend. Floyd made the show what it was meant to be. I'll always like 'Quiet Sam' and see Floyd sitting at home in his chair in the storm.
