In the late 1980s, Andy Griffith returned to TV (and brought a lot of famous friends with him) when he starred as the title character in Matlock. Griffith’s Ben Matlock was a folksy country lawyer with a preference for gray suits and a taste for hot dogs. But don’t let his down-South charms fool you — he was also a formidable litigator, scoring acquittal after acquittal for his clients during the show’s nine-season run between 1986 and 1995.

Though Matlock got his final verdict over 30 years ago, the show still airs every weekday at 10am on MeTV. Check out fun facts about the show below — including details on several cast members’ dual roles!
