Jack Nicholson on ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ twice
Maybe this is just values dissonance at work, but no amount of suspension of disbelief in the world can get me past the idea of a ranking law enforcement officer simply handing an abandoned baby over to a strange couple just on their say-sonot even in 60s small-town America, and least of all when the claim theyve laid on the child is a explicit admission of horrifying negligence.
His second appearance was a meatier part in 1967, around the time he began making serious turns toward the weird, writing the script for Roger Cormans bizarre attempt at counterculture pandering The Trip and appearing in the drugsploitation oddity Psych-Out. But in Andy Griffiths season 8s episode 7, Aunt Bee is called to serve as a juror and finds herself recast as Henry Fonda from 12 Angry Men. Nicholson plays the defendant. I suspect theres loads of potential in this episode for a mashup with A Few Good Men.
