What show did the series's lead appear on before Matlock?
Answer The Andy Griffith Show
Being that the lead is Andy Griffith, he starred in the show with the titular title. Following his role as Andy Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show, the actor didn't hit his stride again for a while. That is, until he appeared as a sarcastic lawyer in Fatal Vision, which prompted NBC to create a show specifically for him.
