 Andy Sawyer was the model family man, always agreeable and understanding, spending lots of quality time with his children.His character bore more of the folksy attitude Griffith had previously portrayed in early episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" and the 1958 teleplay and film "No Time for Sergeants".Lee Meriwether was cast as Andy's wife, reprising a pairing of the two from the 1969 film "Angel in My Pocket".
