"those two solving crime…"
You dumb cockadoodie head!
She was his go-fer and driver.
He was the one who solved the crime.
Plus he is dead in the movie and IRL so we are not getting a TV show.

their corny sit-com like patter was all so it would be that much more shocking when… what happens to Andy of Mayberry at the end

Too bad it wasn't in the book. Its one of my favorite elements in the movie

Definitely a relationship goal..lol They had a great relaxed relationship,
so sad to see what happened to him at the end. That was tragic.

i agree they sucked

You mean the couple who repeatedly withhold vital pieces of information from the state investigators, and the sheriff who upon discovering Annie's true identity and probability of being involved in Paul's disappearance foolishly goes to her house alone and sneaks upstairs with no legal authority? I'd say they got just what they deserved. (Assuming that, following her husband's funeral, the wife was taken straight to prison for impeding a state investigation.)
Had they divulged their found information to the proper investigators in a timely fashion, Paul wouldn't have been hobbled, Annie would be in prison or a mental ward, and the sheriff and his wife would be happily bantering into their golden years.
But yeah, they were cute.

How can you not love Frances Sternhagen and Richard Farnsworth? Both terrific actors, perfect for their roles, they had great rapport. Loved them!

I loved their rapport!
It's That Spice!

Yes. They were fantastic and so entertaining to watch. I loved them together.
I was genuinely stunned when
he got shot through the chest by Annie. I was actually really upset and couldn't help but think about his wife and what she would inevitability have to go through when his death is reported.
I had to keep reminding myself that they were not real.
Last seen films:
Prisoners: 10/10
Mud: 10/10
The Majestic: 8/10

They reminded me of Marge and Norm Gunderson from Fargo.

Yeah they were simply wonderful!
Need some help? - No I'm enjoying myself!

"I HATED what happened to the Sheriff, I agree with the above poster in that I too wish that they'd written that part differently."
I love the irony of this comment. It's like Annie herself was posting on imdb.

I loved those two! They had such hilarious rapport.
I HATED what happened to the Sheriff, I agree with the above poster in that I too wish that they'd written that part differently.
Like maybe Annie clocks him with a bat or something, and he is unconscious and/or in the hospital for the rest of the film.
He wakes to learn the news that Paul Sheldon is alive.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
