Andy Griffith is a staple of classic television, he belongs in a select category of actors who have played two (or more) popular roles on different successful shows. It was his later role as gruff defense attorney Ben Matlock that seemed to strike a chord with elderly viewers everywhere. Jay Leno may have started the joke that Matlock is the television hero for senior citizens and the Simpsons definitely helped to fan the flames of his immortal geriatric status. So it has become part of pop culture lore that old people love Matlock.
It's with that in mind that we present this cartoon, Arthur Barker is your average seventy-something living with his wife, Stella, at the Woodlawn Senior Apartments. The highlight of his day is his late afternoon episode of Matlock on TV Land. However sinister forces are at work to replace Matlock with programing aimed at a younger audience. Our hero rises to the occasion with a well placed call to customer service, an encounter with his neighbor, Jerry and a scary introduction to the world of DVD.
