This is one of the best television shows of the entire decade of the 1960's. Values...one on one talks with Father and Son. Andy Griffith played an important role in ensuring the wholesomeness of the show and that it taught lessons and not was simply comedic
In The Andy Griffith Show, Opie Taylor’s mother is a character whose fate is subtly addressed. Although the show’s writers didn’t give her much direct attention, they revealed that she died in the backdoor pilot episode and hinted that she likely passed away during childbirth. The only episode within the series that directly addressed this question was “Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee,” which aired during Season 2. During a heart-to-heart chat between Andy Taylor and Opie, Andy mentioned that he and Opie’s mom were very much in love when they were together. However, Opie’s mother’s absence is explained in the backdoor pilot episode titled “Danny Meets Andy Griffith.” In this episode, Andy admits that his wife passed away when Opie was just a baby. The exact circumstances of her death are never explicitly stated, but fans speculate that she either died during childbirth or shortly after. Opie was too young to form memories of her, as the brief mentions of her make it clear that he doesn’t remember life with her12. So, Opie’s mother remains a poignant part of the show’s backstory, even though she is rarely mentioned during the series itself. If you’re curious, you can watch the backdoor pilot episode to learn more about the fate of Mrs. Taylor here. 🌼 ua-cam.com/video/fkFDKu54ZfU/v-deo.html

Wish these kind of shows were still on today.Instead of the garbage Hollywood puts on tv today.
Love has no limits.

Why did he call her 'mom' instead of 'ma', since he calls Andy "pa"?
To Americanize it. The south isn't truly American because the south reseeded from the union during the civil war.
So cool and so very poignant all at once. Ron Howard proved his acting chops from very early on in his standout Career!😭🎤🤱😇🎭📺🎥B.W.
Just WhaT Are You Trying To Say Here 🙄
What happens to his mom?
It was never stated on the show, but we do know she died when Opie was an infant. The logical conclusion is she died from childbirth complications.
@@deeredad -Thanks! I love this show! I still watching on cable!
