Actor George Lindsey, best known for his portrayal of Goober Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show, passed away on Sunday (May 6th) at the age of 83. Lindsey guest-starred in Season Six’s “Temporary Duty” target=”_blank”>Temporary Duty” as Captain Roy Dupree, a doctor from the 8063rd MASH who participates in a temporary swap, much to the frustration of the 4077th, particularly Charles. Lindsey joined The Andy Griffith Show near the end of its fourth season (1963-1964) as the cousin of Gymer Pyle, played by Jim Nabors. Nabors left The Andy Griffith Show at the conclusion of that season to star in his own series Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.. When The Andy Griffith Show ended in 1968, it was replaced by a sequel series called Mayberry R.F.D., which ran from 1968 to 1971. Lindsey and much of the supporting cast of The Andy Griffith Show would continue on Mayberry R.F.D. (but not star Andy Griffith). From 1971 to 1992, Lindsey appeared on the syndicated variety series Hee Haw, again playing Goober.
Obituaries can be found at The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

The UK’s Radio Times website has a poll running asking visitors “What’s the best TV ending of all time?” (both season and series finales) and one of the 20 poll options is the series finale of M*A*S*H, “Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen” (originally broadcast February 28th, 1983). A direct link to the poll can be found here. Currently, M*A*S*H has 3% of the vote, which by my count has it tied for 7th. The current winner is the second season finale of the BBC’s Sherlock, with 41% of the vote.
