19. ANDY GRIFFITH
The Andy Griffith Show's Sheriff Andy is so low-key, it's easy to underestimate the skill required of Griffith to make quiet rectitude and folksy wiseness so warmly funny. Nowhere is this more evident than in the classic ''Opie, the Birdman,'' in which son Opie (Ron Howard) accidentally kills a bird, and Andy guides the boy with gentle judiciousness.
