A case for Barney Fife?
* * Jim Shea, morning host at NextMedia Group's northwest suburban oldies WWYW-FM (103.9), is leading a crusade to force the TV Land cable network to restore the full closing credits sequence to its reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show."
Shea's petition drive against "defacing a classic American piece of art and depriving the creators of this TV chicagomedia.orgpiece their due recognition" can be found at www.y1039.com.
Griffith, 81, called in to Shea's show to express his enthusiastic support of the effort.
