Who is it? What family?
You can’t say he didn’t look after his “family.”
I hesitated to pick him since it’s a movie, but it seems like it’s on TV all the time, so I think that counts.
Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry, North Carolina represented the almost ideal small town Southern father for boys of my generation. My wife used to watch Andy Griffith Show reruns when our son was little. I was always "too busy" to watch them and thought the show was kind of corny for people of more modern times. Since the election of Biden my wife and I have pretty much quit watching Fox News and during the time slots of the early evening hours we watch guess what? Andy Griffith Show reruns. This time around I can still remember watching some of these shows from my childhood. It is almost shocking how politically incorrect this innocent show is by today's standards. I have a new found appreciation for some of the moral truths this show teaches plus it darn funny to boot. The show was not the same when Don Knotts who played Deputy Barney Fife left the show to pursue other theatrical interests in the movies. The show in black and white represents a nostalgic medium that was lost when the show went to the "living color" format.
Question. Where was Andy's wife? What is the backstory as to why he had a son and lived with Aunt Bee?Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry, North Carolina represented the almost ideal small town Southern father for boys of my generation.

She died but as far as I know the cause of her death was never revealed.

It got rather "dusty" in a Raleigh area Biscuitville restaurant when the TV announced that Andy Griffith had passed away.
