Trust Fund Challenge #11: Mayberry B.F.D.

This is a fun installment of TFC (well, they're ALL fun, but this is really fun), featuring Pray For the Wildcats, a long lost TV movie from 1974 with an amazing cast: Andy Griffith in balls-out psycho mode, William Shatner playing an uber-wuss, Robert Reed as a befro'd corporate weasel, Marjoe Gortner as a hippie toolbag and Angie Dickinson playing a superhot lady (natch). There's a whole lotta motorcycle riding through the desert, a fair amount of Griffith being all evil and shit, and some over-the-top hamminess from The Shat. It's where the hippie dream went to die, man.
