Thank You,

You would think they were driving a semi or something like that. What ever happened to Drivers Ed? Did they tell them to do this? I think not.; Reply to this comment


by brushymt October 26, 2011 11:38 AM EDT: Andy, You're The Best! I promise, that if I ever I see you in the restaruant I won't bother you. As long as you don't bother me!! Hope you like my humor.; Reply to this comment

by gordyscott October 7, 2011 12:41 PM EDT: I always wonder why people retire. They work thru college to get where they want to be and are happy with what they are doing. Then after they do what they do for so many years, they retire. I guess they get too old and too slow to do it anymore. But if it is something they love then why not do it until the last day you live? I never understood why people retire and I guess I don't care.; Reply to this comment

CBS, Please make classic Rooney segments available for streaming. Pretty please.; Reply to this comment


by jtrusl45 October 4, 2011 1:44 PM EDT: Thanks Andy. We've enjoyed you all these years. I couldn't help but to develope a small lump in my throat, along with a smile as I watched your final episode.; Reply to this comment


by Beatleboy1964 October 3, 2011 8:31 PM EDT: Isn't the internet great? I set my DVR to record 60 Minutes last night for the soul purpose of catching the Andy Rooney story. Little did I know that the football game would go long. The show started 20 to 25 minutes late and the Andy Rooney story began at 8:00. My DVR shut off at 8:01. I was so disappointed, but now I can watch the story right here! Thank you CBS.; Reply to this comment
