[B]George 'Goober' Lindsey of 'Andy Griffith Show' and 'Hee Haw' fame dead at 83[/B]

Updated 11:15 a.m. PT: NASHVILLE, Tenn. — George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw," has died. He was 83.

A press release from Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made.

Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry RFD," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character – a service station attendant – on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993. (more)

When contacted for comment, Gomer wept inconsolably.

I disagree.

Gomer was a hard character to replace and I think he did a good job.

It was the hat that bothered me.

You cant buy a hat like that in a small town like Mayberry.

It must have been hand hewn. Its goal; to attract small childrens.

The first time he walked out to the gas pump wearing that hat with that stupid **** eating grin on his face should have been the moment the shunning began.

Instead, we got 30 years of that ****.

Hee Haw wreaked havoc with my hormones.

As for Goober, never cared too much for the country bumpkin schtick.
