My husband and I both think that Andy should have ended up with Peggy. She was so pretty and vibrant, with so much spark and personality. Besides, she could sing and harmonize with Andy, and was a great cook, to boot! She could definitely make more t
Does anyone remember this show? It’s now on Amazon Prime video with 75 episodes. It looks like a Merv Griffin or Dinah Shore type a variety talk show. He does a pretty good job as the host. The most fascinating thing for me was seeing the episodes wi

This is a great episode, it's the one with three female convicts. But but but I'm still wondering about when Charles O'Malley (William Bouchey) returns on the bus from "DE-troit." Andy offers him a ride back to his place, and he accepts. If it weren
