The greatest tv show in the history of tv! Clint Howard, Little Leon, He's played in a lot of movies and is hilarious! God Bless him and his talent lol
It's a wholesome show. My husband loves it. We watch it together. I think Andy Griffith was really good looking, Don Knotts was nutty and neurotic! Ron Howard was an adorable little boy.
I was born in 1966. I remember watching reruns of Rin Tin Tin. In the 70s, there was Run Joe, Run. About a guy looking for his runaway dog. The dog bit the guy, felt guilty and ran away. lol I don't think I was too into Gentle Ben. But I did like Grizzly Adams.
So glad I found this. I grew up watching Andy and Barney and still watch it every night. Just the other day I said to myself while watching I bet that's nothing but condos and BS now, I'll definitely sleep better tonight.
Classic, timeless, 60s Americana Television. Not enough adjectives exist to describe the magic and smiles this show brought (and is still bringing) to millions of viewers. Thank you Andy Griffith and the entire cast for so many great memories!
I met Clint when my family and I lived in the small town of Piru, California which is a popular Hollywood backlot for filming for movies and television located about 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Clint Howard and Judge Reinhold were at the Piru Mansion filming a movie named PING and we were watching on the sidelines. They were between scenes and on a break and Clint and Judge were on a hold golf cart coming up the driveway and they stopped and asked us make sure to stay off the driveway because they were expecting a delivery truck and didn't want to see anyone get run over. We assured them that we would and they thanked us and returned to the movie set. A few minutes later the director called dinner break and Clint and Judge both approached us again and invited us to have dinner with them and the crew. We thanked them and politely passed on their offer because we had just eaten before we got there. They were both very friendly, talkative and approachable and my two kids that were with me still talk about meeting them too. If either of you see this we would like to say thank you again for your hospitality that day.
Would just like to say, with all we read about the problems that child actors have later in life, I'd like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Howard for doing such a great job with their kids and keeping them genuine and their heads on straight.
Hey Clint, I know you were very young but this is simply the best tv show, it never gets old!! You are a part of a historical tv show that's been a part of our lives, with the moral decay on tv today when I see the series I just can't pass it up, I gotta watch!
I was filling in for a still photographer on a union show for a day a few years back and Clint was playing a judge. He was very kind to everyone on the set and he was very cooperative with me allowing me to get the photos I needed to get. It make a day go better when an actor is nice to work with.
@@Mike_Greentea What are you talking about I have been shooting camera work in the Entertainment business for 41 years. The movie was Grand-Daddy Day Care shot in Woodland Hills, CA.
I still love this show & all of the characters. It’s a strong testament to the actors and actresses who were able to bring those characters to life, the characters we all fell in love with. To that special cast and crew, thank you so much!❤️
It was nice to hear that Andy was supportive of Don when his contract ended and he went off to make movies. And that Andy directed the first one no less. They were friends to the end.
Clint and Ron are real people, I've always been a fan of both of them. My mom worked at the nursing home called sunny shores in St Petersburg Fla in the early eighties. Cocoon was filmed there and MGM needed extras .Mom got a small extra job out of it. I have pictures with Ron with my mom and step-dad. He was still young back then.
Hell yes. Came here to say the same. He has done a great job in every movie he has played in. Really good character actor. Liked his part in Apollo 13 a lot.
Phenomenal as Balok in Star Trek : The Corbomite Maneuver. Even if his voice was over-dubbed by another actor, his actions and expressions were right-on.
Nice to see Clint! I've vacationed in both Southern & Northern California. It is indeed a beautiful state. The Redwoods are some of my favorite memories.
He really is a very humble and super nice guy. Ron even as well a great guy, he’s just so busy directing and producing stuff. His parents raised these boys so well
Am I the only one who remembers "Gentle Ben"? For a time there, after Opie, and before "Eat my dust", dont remember much from big bro Ron, but lil bro Clint was workin his butt off.
I worked on a film that used Meyer's Lake for a couple of scenes. We found the exact spot from the intro of The Andy Griffith Show! It was fun finding it!
What a hoot it would be to be driving along in traffic and look over and spot Clint Howard in the car next to you. A cool fellow, appreciate the work you done sir.
Think of Gentle Ben nearly daily, I'm 67,remembering the bear with life's lessons. 😀. What we learn while remembering. Unity once again thanks to Gentle Ben the Howard family. Clint I never knew that Ron was your brother. Smokey bear taught me alot, many bears have. Wish you all well. Many more years, happier trails for all.
Leon offered Barney his pb and j when Barn was incognito in the episode "The Shoplifters". Leon spotted old Barn.. great episode..well 99% of them were.
@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 the one where two families were feuding and Andy wouldn't marry the girl and guy...think it was like episode two or 3...
I live about an hour from 'Mayberry' which is Mt. Airy NC. I always laughed when they shot outside and you saw that Cali landscape. Nothing like the Mayberry area.
My all time favorite tv show. It reminds me of how my home town, Chickamauga, Georgia was. Everyone knew everyone. Fan of all of the Howards , including Mrs. Howard, from Apollo 13. She reminded me of my grandmother. Fan of Clint's, I even like Cotton Candy.
Also Mr. Howard was in Apollo 13 as well. He played the priest when everyone was watching the spacecraft return on TV. So the entire family had a part in it. Clint was one of the engineers at Mission Control.
I don’t know Clint’s journey, but I’m just about his age, and I want to say - I can’t walk as smoothly as I want to, but I walk. I appreciate Clint being out there, no other way to say it, on the path of life. Thanks for just being real in real time, Clint. You and Ron have been there just my whole life.
I'm glad to see that he is embracing the AGS . For a lot of years he never talked about it and we rarely saw interviews of him. It was cute when he sounded excited about some one shooting there.. You can tell he still loves acting. Great video!!
Unimaginable that an actor that has lived and worked in LA all his life has never been to Franklin Canyon. I only worked sporadically on low-budget movies for a few years, and went there several times. It's hard to believe it is in the middle of a major metropolis.
Black day for Mayberry, the only episode with Rance, Ronny and Clint Howard. The characters didn't interact although Opie is in the courthouse the same time as Rance. Neat little factoid.
Clint, back in about 1975 I walked up to the Hollywood sign , then continued over to Franklin lake , I recognized the cedar trees near the shore line and suddenly was aware that I was standing right where Opie & Andy used to walk. But that was in younger daze 🥴
Always loved Leon. Didn't know that Clint was your name or, that you are Ron Howard 's brother until a few days ago. Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite too.
Clint is a fine Actor. Their father was a solid Actor. I'm younger than both Ron and Clint but a huge fan. Gentle Ben was a fab show when I was a kid. I loved Clints Peanut Butter Sandwich scenes on Andy Griffith. I've seen every episode at least 5 times...my all time favorite tv show of any kind. Too bad our Country has lost that kind, simple innocence of Mayberry. If that town exists today, tell me and I'm moving there ! Congrats to Clint on great acting career!
The real town of Mayberry is in mount airy North Carolina! , and it’s in the north west corner of the state off of I 77, I 74 I have been there it’s a real nice place to live!
Grew up watching the "Andy Griffith Show" and still to this day, 9 times out of 10 if you were to stop by my house that show will be playing on my tv. I am fortunate to have several cable channels in my area that carry the show every week, I can pretty much almost have the show on 24 hours a day...LOL I loved Clint in my favorite 1986 movie "The Wraith".
Such a cool guy. Andy. Star Trek. Gentle Ben with my hometown hero Dennis Weaver. Just watched him in his brothers first film Night Shift. What a hilarious movie!
I know Clint has been in tons of roles. One that has stuck with me is of him in a 1971 Night Gallery episode called "The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes."
Clint is also a Star Trek OS alumni... He played the diminutive commander of a giant alien space craft in "The Corbomite Maneuver" S1 E10. He was six years old. Amazingly, he and William Shatner (who was 35 at the time of that episode) are both still with us.
Thank you for showing this. I’d love to visit there. What’s sad is the old 40 acre lots just a memory. To bad it wasn’t saved as a tour park. So many shows & movies where shot there. I recall an episode of the original Star Trek was shot in Mayberry. You can see it clear as a bell. Again thank you both for this. Lastly everyone of our age has alittle bit of Mayberry in us. Dennis Fleming Barre, Massachusetts
I met Clint at an astronaut autograph show. It was either in New Jersey or San Antonio around 2004-6 We chatted briefly in the elevator I believe. I guess he was into wiffle ball at the time so I brought it up. He was terrific in Apollo 13.
@@Techridr Seems obvious enough. Peaceful small town father and son strolling down a quiet path to spend time sitting on the bank of a lake fishing vs gory, violent, bloody scenes of war and destruction...
As a person who grew up next to Mt. Airy (and now lives in Mount Pilot), I can certain appreciate all the references Andy made to his hometown on the show. Thanks
Loved him in Apollo 13. He made the perfect NASA engineer. He reminded so much of my father back in the 60's (also an engineer) with the white shirt, tie complete with pocket protector.
I met you about 15 or so years ago when you were in South Florida, actually I waited on you in a diner and we had a nice conversation. This baby boomer who loved "Gentle Ben" was very excited. When I told people I'd met you, and they asked what you were like. I said the truth..."much cuter in person!" LOL. Hope that doesn't gross you out.
Watching this today...reminds me of growing up in the mountains of NJ with my Dad. Fond memories. Sadly...contractor bought up land and filled in our fishing hole...needed it for just one more mansion..very sad.
The location is so peaceful and serene, in the middle of a very urban area. Was there a few years ago. Hope they keep the park as undeveloped for years to come.
Thank you, Clint, for the good feelings I always got from the characters you played. You look like a super nice man and the kind who would be a great friend. When you played Leon, you sure added to the show!! Even to this day, I stick my hand out with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to people when I'm holding it, just like you did on Andy Griffith!
Is he Ron Howard’s Brother? Gentle Ben Show? Never mind I just saw the show where you both was on and answered all my questions. Unbelievable the stories you and Ron told. Thank you
I always enjoyed Clint's performances. Nice to see him being himself. He's a good guy.
I think the Andy Griffith Show is the only show to be on tv every year since it was released. 62-63 years non-stop is absolutely amazing
Quality programing.😊
The greatest tv show in the history of tv! Clint Howard, Little Leon, He's played in a lot of movies and is hilarious! God Bless him and his talent lol
Breaking bad
I don't think Leon had any lines in the show. He just offered Barney his sandwich. So cute.
The Andy Griffith show is the best show ever made. I'm 48 years old and I've watched it most my life and will always watch it
It's a wholesome show. My husband loves it. We watch it together. I think Andy Griffith was really good looking, Don Knotts was nutty and neurotic! Ron Howard was an adorable little boy.
I still record and watch all the time 👏🏻
Yes I am 64 and live that show most my life.
@@durango8882 me too im 61
My sentiments exactly. Best show ever!!!
Hands down still the best show on T.V.!
I am old enough to remember Gentle Ben as one of my favorite shows. Absolutely fantastic.
Then you're old enough to remember Flipper!
I'm 66 and all of those shows were wonderful. As was my youth.
I too remember Gentle Ben. Never watched Flipper though
P. S. I'm 65 years old!!
I was born in 1966. I remember watching reruns of Rin Tin Tin. In the 70s, there was Run Joe, Run. About a guy looking for his runaway dog. The dog bit the guy, felt guilty and ran away. lol I don't think I was too into Gentle Ben. But I did like Grizzly Adams.
Gentle Ben was one of my favorites.
I still watch it every night
My favorite show, hands down. Leon was always so generous with his PB&J. Be well!
So glad I found this.
I grew up watching Andy and Barney and still watch it every night.
Just the other day I said to myself while watching
I bet that's nothing but condos and BS now,
I'll definitely sleep better tonight.
Classic, timeless, 60s Americana Television. Not enough adjectives exist to describe the magic and smiles this show brought (and is still bringing) to millions of viewers. Thank you Andy Griffith and the entire cast for so many great memories!
One of my favorites is when Leon ,walks up to Barney dressed up in outdoor clothing as a mannequin ,and offers him a bite of his sandwich,😂❤️👍
no Leon, scram Leon
He always had a PB&J
How cool was that. Clint is such a nice man. I've always enjoyed his work.
His best stuff is in creepy movies.

Do I watch the Andy Griffith Show? Yes, religiously. Everything about the show was spot on. 👍👍
I loved the Andy Griffith show 60 years old and still watching it they don't make shows like that anymore.
Clint had to be the cutest little kid in the history of the world, plus he's been good in everything I've ever seen him in.

I was one of the grips on "Evasive Action" with Clint...GREAT guy.
Get a grip. 😆lol
I loved Clint as Leon in Andy Griffith Show and also in Gentle Ben! He was just adorable!
How about "The Bailey's of Balboa?" Does anyone remember Clint in that show?
He sure was a cute kid , loved that he always wanted to share his peanut butter and jelly sandwich but my favorite was cowboy hat and 6-shooters.
I’m 75 & still watch the show.

Great tv series. That lake has been used in so many tv productions. I remember it was used in one episode of Star Trek. Love those pine trees

Cute when Leon would offer Barney a bite of his PB&J sandwich.
Great video! Thank you! It's always fascinating to see the back story
Little Leon with his PBJ sandwich ❤
That lake and surrounding it looks quite different now. Back then the water looked cleaner & the trees looked greener, much healthier and larger.
Enjoyed the memory!

Unbelievable the stories you and Ron told.
Thank you
yup.
This is one of my favorite parks here in LA. Everytime I'm there, I start automatically whistling the theme song. :)
From the looks of it, you were there while they were building the set for American Horror Story 1984. And the day after my bday too. Very cool. 👍🏻
Thanks guys for this video - loved it!
Our pleasure!
Clint Howard is awesome. I love this.
Leon was just the cutest!!
