Wanna know how Ernest T. Bass came to be? by Howard Morris

He will be missed. Reruns of The Andy Griffith Show that feature Howard Morris are my favorites.

I'll chuck a rock fer him!

What's so amazing is that he was only in 5 episodes, yet is one of the most enduring and endearing characters in TV history!

I'm old enough to remember the episodes before they became syndicated re-runs! "Ernest T." was one of my all-time favorites, and I, too, can't believe he only appeared in 5 episodes!

RIP, sir; you will be fondly remembered by all who appreciate good entertainment.

"R.I.P., Ernest T.!"

I'll let a nice big purrty rock rip as well..

Loved all those episodes too! That guy could not be upstaged by any of the characters on the AG show.

'Ernest T' will live on in spirit and in re-runs for future generations no doubt!
