In 1955, on the stage of Broadway’s Alvin Theater, Andy Griffith and Don Knotts first bonded as they co-starred in the stage production of “No Times for Sergeants,” cementing a friendship that continued when they were both asked to reprise their stage roles in the 1958 Mervyn LeRoy film. Years later, when Knotts happened to learn about a TV project starring Griffith as a small town sheriff, he called up his old friend and asked “Don’t you think Sheriff Andy Taylor ought to have a deputy?” Griffith loved the idea, and television history was made.

One of the most influential movie critics of all time, Roger Ebert was never one to prioritize niceties when it came to writing poor performance reviews. His opinion held the weight of an audience member in every punctuation mark, swaying them to see or not to see a film, including curating a list of the movies he considered to be the greatest of all time. When it came to assessing the worst movies he had the displeasure of watching, Ebert held no punches when awarding 0-star reviews to some of the worst comedies of all time. Comedy is subjective, but his opinions on those features at the bottom of the barrel (and the ones he deemed below that) are scathing and unforgiving.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
