And, of course, the statue is just a neat thing," Clark said
"The Andy Griffith Show," Griffith read, "a simpler time, a sweeter place, a lesson, a laugh, a father and a son I kind of wish I looked like that now," Griffith said
Griffith, whose 40-year acting career has been largely defined by Sheriff Andy Taylor, helped pull down a blue cloak covering the 800-pound statue It shows Taylor walking to a fishing hole with his son, Opie "
Spectators at the park Tuesday kept the characters alive by wearing T-shirts with pictures of Taylor, Opie, and oddball mechanic Gomer, who inspired his own spinoff show "If this show keeps going like it is it'll probably last another 50 years
"That beats anything It placed Ralph Kramden from "The Honeymooners" in New York in 2000 and Mary Richards from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" in Minneapolis last May
"This particular day I think it's Andy Griffith himself who got us up here
The unveiling drew people from as far away as Nebraska and Illinois, said Jim Clark, a freelance writer and founder of the show's fan club, who traveled from Nashville, Tenn Some in Mount Airy â€â€? considered a model for Mayberry â€â€? have grumbled that it is a better spot for the statue It's just exciting to get a chance to get a glimpse of him "
And to see Andy here with it, that's a pretty good combination
Griffith said the Raleigh park was a great place for the statue, but added "I hope they'll do something for Mount Airy in the future
"The Andy Griffith Show" has been a television rerun staple for 40 years, never leaving the air since its original run in from 1960 to 1968 "

Oct 28, 10:39 AM EST
Andy and Opie are on a permanent fishing trip â€â€? immortalized in a bronze statue unveiled Tuesday by Andy Griffith, whose characterization of a genial Southern sheriff has become a staple of television history
The song is instantly recognizable to television fans, and the show's setting â€â€? the fictional Mayberry â€â€? has become a synonym for any Southern country town
It's the third statue the network has installed in honor of TV characters a good show for your kids to watch," said fan Ricky Carnes, who wore a sheriff's uniform similar to one worn by Taylor's deputy, Barney Fife
The statue depicts the scene shown in the title credits, to the tune of the jaunty, whistled theme song , for the 30-minute ceremony
"That's going to be a real monument literally to Mayberry and what it stands for "
Griffith, who is from Mount Airy, now lives on the North Carolina coast in Manteo
In a deal Raleigh and the network signed in March, TV Land â€â€? which runs the show in reruns â€â€? agreed to build and maintain the statue at no cost to the city
"It's just a wholesome show, lots of genuine values in the show
