Opie accidentally hitting the mama bird with his sling shot. Then, he helps the baby chicks grow. That, and the one with the farm girl that Ellie transforms into a woman. Those 2 are among my favorites.
I think Andy's show was one of television's best tv show's in history. There will never be another one like it. It has always been my favorite of all time.
All the American shows were like that. We got them here in New Zealand and enjoyed them. So what happened? It doesn't appear that many Americans learned anything from them where us Kiwis did
@@craigkennett6226 Depends! Those not obsessively on social media actually live normal, healthy, & productive lives! I adore spending time with my 3 teenage grandchildren! Generally polite, considerate, helpful, & quick to help or stand up for the down trodden &/or bullied! They definitely aren't I perfect, but they run a real close 2nd! Lol But we taught morals & integrity, & so do their parents! ❤
Looking back at being a kid of 70-80? It was the best time! A lot of "G rates" great shows! Names at least 30 plus shows, that were on after school, and Saturday cartoon morning show! Now, I find myself watching them more now.
I always liked the episode, "Mr. McBeeVee", Opie meets a lineman in the woods who has to climb trees to maintain lines, calls his equipment, "hands", they jingle, blows smoke to entertain Opie. People think Opie is making his new friend up. Andy gets so frustrated he even considers spanking Opie because he insists Mr. McBeeVee is real and refuses to admit he is "make believe". Andy upset, goes for a walk in the woods and runs into the real McBeeVee. He is overjoyed that Opie was telling the truth. Very heartwarming, a great ending!
This is probably my overall favorite too. Andy comes to believe in something that seems impossible to him just because he has confidence in someone else. That is a valuable life lesson; at least when not blind demagoguery. Barney: “So you believe in Mr. McBeeVee? Andy: “No . . . no. But I do believe in Opie.
My favorite episode was when Opie was in competition with another boy to work at a grocery store. When Opie found out the other boy needed the job to help his family, Opie started acting out on the job and Andy got mad at Opie about it. Then Opie explained the real reason he had been acting that way. Then Andy was proud of him. I watched this show faithfully. They don’t make shows like this anymore. Not even on Disney.
It's ironic you added not even on Disney. Everything put out by Disney in recent history has been designed to teach our children to be exactly the opposite of traditional wholesome and moral humans.
Dianey has gone over the "DARK SIDE" embracing the worst of WOKEism, while trying to interfere with Florida politics to impose their warped will on we the people of the state; forced their employees to also embrace WOKE ideology; made and remade movies filled with warped WOKE, LGBQ+-?!&%$# and transgender ideology. Well, they picked the wrong state for that crap, our governor kicked their asses. Even before they went WOKE, LGBQ+-?!&%$#, transgender crazy, the shows they featured on the Disney channel were abhorrent, nothing I would EVER allow a child to watch.
@@marionmillard8551 / Writers have an unwritten benefit (called a "writer's license" I believe) to deviate somewhat from strict fact - for the purpose of making a particular point! Much of the general public understood the issue
Disney is no longer and hasn't been family orientated in a long time. Sad to say, I never go to there park and haven't for 10 yrs or more because of it.
I don't have any particular episode, but just enjoyed the program growing up in the 60's. I remember walking from our cottage in the summer to the lake down a nice, country path and whistling the theme song every day. Good memories, and I can still smell the blueberries and damp leaves in the woods -- all part of the Andy Griffith Show experience!
I live in North Carolina and the show seemed pretty much like normal life here. I'm about Ron Howard's age. Now an episode of Andy Griffith is comforting to me and puts me right to sleep.
I see how watchers like me can't deny the story could shift to an iconic actor Ron Howard..His roles always centered around....Happier Days! No pun intended.
This is one of the best television shows to grace the screen. I love its simplistic storytelling of life in a small town. It's a gem that will show on TV for years to come.
One of my favorite episode is when Aunt Bee first came to live with Andy and Opie. Opie didnt like her at first then when Aunt Bee was going to leave Opie came to the car and told her she couldnt leave cause she didnt know how to do anything. Then Opie and Aunt Bee hug and she get teary eyed. My eyes get teary everytime i see that episode.
my favorite episode is when Opie spent his money buying a girlfriend a coat because her parents didn't have much money but Andy thought he wanted to buy her a toy and was mad that Opie had only donated a few penny's to another charity. Andy ends up "eating crow" as he put it at the end of the episode..
Favorite episode: “Andy on Trial” - Barney steps out of character, tells the Commissioner to pound sand (he wouldn’t step down from the stand), and delivers a wonderful monologue about Andy in his role as sheriff, ending with “you do a whole lot better if you go not so much by the book, but by the heart” … I’ve never forgotten that last line.
There's no way for me to say which one of the shows was my favorite. I still watch The Andy Griffith Show religiously. It was a great place as a child to learn my moral code. It is my deepest heartfelt desire that the show will continue to inspire Generations into Infinity.
I have always loved this show and still watch re-runs of it. It was wholesome and funny without being lewd. I was a little kid when it was on and still love it.
How many straangs you used to Sheriff? This straangin' instrument has only 5. Kind of keep that thumb a hangin' in the breeze. A 1 and a 2 and away we go... Dooley was good old man who lived below the mill..
Greatest show of my childhood. I learned so much about life, honesty, kindness, empathy, sympathy, and all of the important things kids need to learn from this show. Both of my parents were working. My favorite episodes were 1) when Aunt Bea first came and Opie didn’t seem to like her and she decides to go back home 2) the show where Opie accidentally shoots a mother bird with his slingshot, and the babies are left motherless. To this day I remember the last line of that show, “But don’t the trees look full,” spoken by Andy. And in the show where Aunt Bea decides to go back home because things aren’t working out with Opie, I will always remember Opie crying “but Paw, she doesn’t know how to do anything. She NEEDS me.” Oh, how I cried at both those last lines. Such tremendous writing and acting. And of course, it goes without saying that Barney was too funny for words. When I wasn’t in tears, I was in stitches due to Barney.
@@atomicwedgie8176 Agree. I've never liked her even though I loved what she was supposed to be. Never a good fit for what I perceived how the character was supposed to be.
The Andy Griffith show was one of the best shows ever. It taught good morals something that is lacking in TV shows now. As a Senior Citizen I no longer watch TV because it doesn't teach the right things to children or adults anymore. We need to return to those days when certain things were tabu on screen.
One of my favorite episodes of the AG Show was when Gomer made a Citizens Arrest of Barney just after Barney had given his lecture about breaking the law. Gomer kept yelling Citizens Arrest. Citizens Arrest at Barney as he made his illegal u-turn. It was hilarious.
I have 3 favorites... "Man In A Hurry" "The Sermon For Today" and "Barny's First Car" LOVE those three episodes! 😍 the show takes me back to the simple times and when life was sooo good! I grew up in the 60's, so I often travel back there in my mind, and through great TV shows like The Andy Griffith Show. (Nostalgic)
I loved the Andy Griffith Show. I loved all the characters in the show. I just wanted to let you know that the town that Andy is buried in is Manteo, pronounced Man-tee-o. As a fellow North Carolinean, I wanted to let you know.
My favorite has to be the pickle episode. Barney called Aunt Bee's pickles "kerosene cucumbers" and they went to extremes to keep it from her. Helen Crump was my favorite girlfriend for Andy.
My favorite episode is the one about the businessman (Robert Emhardt) who is stranded in Mayberry on a Sunday afternoon. He learned that people needed to relax and not always be in a hurry. Of Andy's girlfriends, I liked Peggy the best. She was pretty and had a sweet, Southern accent.
I liked Peggy (Joanna Moore) too. She and Mary (Sue Ane Langdon) were much better looking than Helen (Aneta Corsaut). Joanna Moore is Tatum O'Neal's mother.
I actually have two favorites. One is where Opie and friend are playing baseball and it goes into the haunted house. Andy sends Barney and he of course is scared to go himself. The other one is The Christmas episode where Ben wants Andy to arrest someone and the ehole family winds up in jail. Ben keeps getting in trouble so he can be arrested too. He wants to join in for the Christmas party. The best show ever. I watch this every day, even though I have watched them dozens of times.
I loved Ernest T Bass. That guy could make me laugh my head off. He would throw rocks and was just so funny especially when he was looking for a girlfriend. I know he's passed away and is looking down from heaven watching himself on youtube and hopefully not throwing rocks.
Ah, Ernest T. Bass! Did you ever notice that he was the only married man in Mayberry? Everyone in Mayberry was single, except for him, and his wife! And he spent most of his time drunk and in jail!
@@markcollins2666 Wrong character. Ernest T. was very single. He would throw rocks at the windows of ladies he was trying to “woo”. He had a gold tooth in front, and a loud, nasal voice, all of which he fancied made him quite the catch!
I HATED that one! I've ALWAYS LOVED ALL ANIMALS, and starting when I was a very little girl, was always finding/saving baby birds and other animals that had fallen out of their nests. My parents would help me, of course, but I was very committed to saving them. It really upset me when that bird was killed on the show, even though I knew it didn't really happen. I was only about five or six years old. 😭
In my opinion, Anita Corsault was one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the small screen. Her eyes are so expressive and the secrets hidden in their depths so profound that a person could get lost in them. Her face is perfectly shaped and she does not need makeup to enhance her graceful beauty. I'm a 65 year old, heterosexual woman and my gate definitely swings just one way, but I can and do appreciate pure beauty when I see it. Anita Corsault was possibly one of the most beautiful women in the world. It's no wonder that Andy Griffith fell in love with her!
When the video mentioned that Andy and Helen almost kissed on several occasions I thought of the episode where Barney is showing Goober how to handle women and so they are looking in the window at Andy and Helen watching tv. Then Andy is gonna kiss her and Goober yells out, "He's doing it. He's doing it". Andy hears him and comes to the window. Very funny.
I Grew up just down the road from Mayberry, NC(aka Mount Airy). Our little community was just like Mayberry when I was growing up in the 1960's into the 70's. We watched the show every time it was on as a Family back then and I(we) still watch it as it is on all the time here in NC still on the Local Channels. We go to Mount Airy regularly and still eat at the Snappy Lunch(Love that Pork Chop Sandwich!!!) and I still get my haircut in town as well. Drive by Andy's House all the time just to take a look. We still miss those days of old...
Ive been watching the reruns for the first time this past year. Its wholesome and funny, especially Don Knotts. My favorite episode was when Barney was sent to the town Department store to watch for theives, likely an inside job during open hours and Barney Fife Don Knotts hides in the store...its very funny. Great show, i look forward to watching taped episodes every night at bedtime.
My favorite episode is Mr. Mcbevee😂 Love how Andy says wryly, Mr. Mc-be-vee😅 and the mysterious man, responds and walks down telephone pole!! Confirming Opie wasn't lying about his friend in woods!! Also,the episode when Barney couldn't keep top secret of truck full of gold coming through town, when Barney walk by kids in town, they screamed, "When the truck of gold coming, Barney!!" He halts in his tracks, and the look on Barney's face is priceless!😂😂 Must admit I don't watch episodes after Don Knott's left to pursue Movie career. BTW, I hated Ms Crump😏.
I completely agree! The Mr. McBeevee episode is a classic, and the telephone pole scene always cracks me up. And yes, Barney's struggle with keeping secrets is hilarious! As for Ms. Crump, she definitely added some drama to the show.
I couldn't pick just one favorite episode. Some of my favorites involved catching moonshiners. One had the grouchy old Jubal Foster who blamed Opie and his friends for his barn burning down when it was really him who accidentally started the fire. It was hilarious when Barney got drunk after he drank what he thought was water. There was also the episode when Otis Campbell (one of my absolute favorite characters) and another bum were using an abandoned house, that everyone thought was haunted, to hide their still. Finally, there was the one where the flower shop ladies were running a still, but only selling liquor for special occasions like National Potato Day.
The Dillards or Ernest Bass visiting town were all great episodes but a really well-written show was the one where Buddy Ebsen played a hobo who was influencing Opie's behavior. A very complex situation for Andy to handle in this lighthearted series.....
My Pa was very much like Andy Griffith with his temperament and the way he avoided physical punishment unless it was something beyond bad... He came out of combat in WWII a changed man, I think loving his wife & 3 son's was his salvation. Yep, Andy always reminds me of Pa.
Andl then proceeds to con Andy into riding the sidecar. The scene where Barney takes off leaving Andy sitting in the UNATTACHED sidecar while the locals laughed their asses off is an alltime classic.
@@michaelwolf6424 Exactly. It is that scene that makes it onto my list of all-time favorite episodes. A similar copy-cat thing happened on "Hogan's Heroes" When Schultz rode off and the side car that Colonel Klink was sitting in remained behind and fell over.
@@wayneyadams I think you and I have slightly warped senses of humor. I watch. . "HO. ..gannnn" far more than I care to admit. Fun facts: Werner Klemperer (aka Col Klink) was a world class violinist. At his insistence, all the German officers were Jewish. .as was he. Bob Crane was a very drummer himself. The opening drumline is his. Unfortunately, as you may know, his addiction to pornography and shady characters ended his life. Yet, every time I see one of the prisoners entering the outside tunnel under that doghouse while a German shepherd sits inside, it cracks me up. The old shows were the best. This new woke shyt is a sad tomato.
@@michaelwolf6424 The Jewish actors agreed to do the show only if the Germans were shown to be buffoons, which was accomplished in every episode. Klink parading about like a preening Peacock touting his perfect no escape record as the prisoners entered and exited the camp at will going on sabotage missions, spying, and in one episode Hogan flying to Britain for a meeting and returning with Klink completely unaware. Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) was born in Cologne, Germany, to a musical family but he said that he had little musical aptitude. His father was renowned conductor Otto Klemperer and his mother was soprano Johanna Geisler. He broadened his acting career by performing as an operatic baritone and a singer in Broadway musicals. After "Hogan's Heroes" he earned a Tony Award nomination for his performance in Cabaret in its 1987 Broadway revival. Klemperer died of cancer at his home in Manhattan on December 6, 2000, at the age of 80. John Banner (Sergeant Schultz) originally studied law at the University of Vienna before he decided he wanted to be an actor. He left his birth country, Austria-Hungary, when Hitler annexed it. Once here he learned English and served in the Army as a supply Sergent and also appeared on recruiting posters. Banner died on January 28, 1973 on his 63rd birthday following a burst abdominal aortic aneurysm hemorrhage while visiting friends in Vienna. Howard Caine (Major Hochstetter) was born Howard Cohen in Nashville. He had to suppress his southern accent when he became an actor; he went on to become a master of 32 foreign and American dialects. He served in the United States Navy during World War II, from 1944 to 1946, fighting the Japanese in the Pacific Theatre. He was an award-winning banjo player, winning 29 trophies. He was also a popular folk singer. He was originally a Broadway actor before moving to movies and television. Quite a different person than his major Hochstetter character. Caine died of a heart attack on December 28, 1993, five days short of his 68th birthday. Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) was born Leo Aschkenasy into a Jewish family in Vienna, he fled Austria to the United States in 1940, after having been beaten and abused by the Nazi SA and SS. His parents were murdered in the Treblinka death camp. He then served in World War II as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Forces. His acting career was unremarkable, appearing in minor roles in the movies and on TV. He died from natural causes in Vienna on June 3, 2005, at the age of 97 of natural causes.
My favorite episode is when Andy first met Miss Crump. It seems that Opie didn't like school because of history, So, he began sharing history through storytelling. I don't know what season or episode, but it was great because I am a historic storyteller. My next favorite is when Obie bough a girl a coat because her family didn't have much money, Great TV show.
I always enjoyed the Andy Griffith show. It brings back good memories of my childhood. Offen watching I'd be encouraged and uplifted by all the episodes.
My favorite episode was with Barbara Eden. Not just because of her beauty but it compiled some of my favorite morals sometimes illustrated in other episodes. Admitting when you're wrong. Being circumspect enough to see where you're wrong before the harm is done or Barbara Eden can't survive in your world just because she's different. A freak of beauty. Not a buck tooth inbred bigot. The heroes, and even the entire town learning they can be wrong is a foundation of western civilization. But when I was younger it was my favorite episode because of Barbara Eden.
I remember my mother in law was VERY serious and rarely laughed, but when she watched Barney, she would laugh so hard she'd have tears in her eyes. I don't recall her ever laughing at anyone else on TV. She is gone now, along with all of them. Time flies sometimes.
I really liked Peggy and Andy. There was so many episodes that I enjoyed, one being "A Date For Gomer", where Gomer was set up on a blind date with Mary Grace, Thelma Lou's cousin..
Mary Grace Canfield was a wonderful actress! She was great as a teacher on a comedy pilot called Archie that I saw here on UA-cam. Could be both funny and touching, as she was playing Gomer’s date. I believe she was also in Pollyanna and Green Acres.
My favourite was the one where Opey befriended Mr MacBeavey. The relief on Andy Griffith’s face when he realized that Opey wasn’t lying, but just simply described him through the eyes of a child. The vocabulary Opey used sounded to an adult that he was imaginary, but he was indeed real. Opey learned the lessons a caring father teaches his son that he shouldn’t tell lies, and that he was proud of his son.
but Andy said he was going to give Opie a beating for lying. He threatened Opie with capital punishment 3 or 4 times which is surprising. "Keeper of the Flame" for one. Apparently he did beat him in this episode. That is the impression we were given for playing with fire.
The Very Best Show Ever! It was clean, there was always a good message and plot on every show, the actors never used profanity and the show was just so pure! The most entertaining and enjoyable Shows to have ever been on TV!
My favorite episode was when Barney purchased a magic box and he conjured up Count Zarnecky (I still remember the counts name... Lol). Opie received his 3 wishes also
I also really enjoyed watching "the Fun Girls." My favorite Andy Griffith episodes are the 3 shows which featured "the Fun Girls" (gravel-voiced Daphne and giggly Skippy.) The 3 episodes they starred in were titled - "Barney Mends a Broken Heart" which was aired in Season 3 and was Episode 6 in that season. "Fun Girls" which was aired in Season 4 and was Episode 27 in that season. And "The Arrest of the Fun Girls" which was aired in Season 5 and was Episode 28 in that season.
I still watch Andy Griffith everyday. I loved them all. I enjoy how Opie and Andy, showed so much care for one another. I just smile after every episode. I watched as a young girl and still today. ❤
This show has got to be the greatest show ever made. The best, cleanest humor, teaching respect for people, especially your elders, and just teaching all good morales in life. I’ll never quit watching it, or get tired of watching it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My all time favorite dialogue between Andy and Opie…… Andy: I was reading here just the other day there are 400 needy boys in this county alone, or 1 1/2 boys per square mile Opine: there is? Andy: there sure is Opine: I never seen one pa Andy: seen what? Opie: a half boy Andy: well, it’s not really a half boy, it’s a ratio. Opie: Horacio who? Andy: not Horacio, a ratio. It’s mathematics, arithmetic. Look now Opie, just forget that part of it. Forget that part about the half boy Opie: pretty hard to forget a thing like that, pa. Andy: well, try Opie (shaking his head) Poor Horacio!
When i was younger, i couldent stand the show. 40 years later, I started watching it and been watching it every night for over 20 years. Great show with those two guys.
I love this show. It has always been one of the greatest in my experience. I never got into the gossip, not my style. The one episode that stands out is the goat that ate the dynamite. !!KABLOOIE!!
I think speaking truth about family secrets is correct and right. If Andy had affairs then why keep that secret? I am sure there was conflict in the home. I expect they grew up with everyone saying " oh you are so lucky you have him as a dad." Well maybe he was not a good dad. Maybe they grew up in a vert dysfunctional home and are damaged by that. Maybe telling the truth helps them. He was apparently unfaithful to his wife. Not a man of character at all, he just played one on tv. I think that truth is the kids to tell.
@@LeahcimKennel How do you know its true and why say it after he is dead? You just want to know other peoples business. I wonder what you have done in your life that everyone needs to know.
Just the other day, I was sorting through all the old paperwork of my now deceased parents. My father passed in 2000, my mother in 2015, and this was work I had put off. Amongst the rolls of drafting paper, I came across a roll drawn of the RKO lot in Culver City. My dad always said the cast and crew of the Andy Griffith Show was his favorite to work with. Upon his retirement, he had become the Techical Superintendent of the Universal Studios Back Lot. As one of 8 men who ran that studio, he was in charge of all indoor and outdoor set construction. He started out at Universal, then went to Desilu which was later bought out by Paramount next door. He worked for Paramount for 5 years, when they finally severed him, as there were two people for nearly every position. When Universal found out, they snapped him right back up. He was nothing short of a creative and technical genius….and yet very humble, as he was also an Elder in our church who would easily step into the pulpit when the Pastor was away. By his very nature, he commanded the love and respect of all who worked with him. The last major project I remember him working on was doing the Cost Accounting for the Universal CityWalk before it was built. Then he retired at 62, due to a knee injury suffered on the Back Lot. But then he came out of retirement and went to work for Aaron Spelling until he was 65. But in all those years in “The Biz,” his fondest memories were when he worked with the Andy Griffith Show. I remember Griffith lived next door to Universal City, in Toluca Lake, CA, for many years. As for his personal life, if my father knew anything about, he was not the type to spread it. Gossip is not a Christian thing and my father walked his talk.
I think Aleta and Andy had much chemistry on screen! Favorite episode…….wow that is a tough one! The episode where Ellie wants to give some cosmetics to Frankie! But her dad says no! Until Andy convinces him it would make him win a son in law!
Sheriff Andy definitely needed some one. Just because his wife died, doesn't mean he died too. It definitely added to the show, especially since Barney, his deputy and best friend, was also dating at the same time.
That reminds me of a little joke I heard. Did you notice that everyone in Mayberry was always happy. Did you also notice that everyone was single? Everyone that is except Otis, and he was drunk most of the time 😁
Yes, that is a great one. The best episodes for me are the ones where Andy teaches Opie about life. The one where Opie accidentally kills a bird is the best.
I felt Helen and Andy were really good together and that was before I knew what was going on. I also feel Matlock ended because she was dying of cancer and wanted to "spend time with family and friends". Sometimes I wonder how Cindy felt knowing Andy would leave her in a heartbeat for his "true" heart and soul. Andy might have been a womanizer, but Aneta was THE one, I truly believe. Oh, and my favorite episode was Man In A Hurry.
My favorite episode was when Barney dressed as a bride to fool Ernest T Bass. The show was not the same when Don Knotts left. However I do love his movies . My favorite is the "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." I always watch it during Halloween or when I feel down.❤😊
❤ My favorite episode was when Andy had to take Otis to his home because the jail was full. Aunt Bee went to feed Otis and he told her to come back he was a prisoner and expected to be treated like one. Aunt Bee decided to be his Warden and worked Otis like crazy it was so funny 😂. Another one I love is when Barney thinks there an invisible count granting wishes. Truthfully i feel if the Police now a days would act like Andy Taylor, maybe things would be a lot different. I watch this series and enjoy it every single time. 🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾
Brilliant Channel 👍, We didn't get many episodes of that program here in England, or at least I don't remember many , I remember Andy in things but never put a name to the face , I always find it upsetting seeing the actors get old , however it comes to us all Hollywood or not 😊
Favorite Andy Griffith Show Episode? 🤔
Convicts at Large! A very close second would be The Big House, where Gomer keeps letting the shotgun fly off the roof of the jail.
Any episode with the Darlings.
Any Episode with Barney in it. Never watched it after he left.
Aunt Beas kerosene pickles!!
Opie accidentally hitting the mama bird with his sling shot. Then, he helps the baby chicks grow. That, and the one with the farm girl that Ellie transforms into a woman. Those 2 are among my favorites.
I think Andy's show was one of television's best tv show's in history. There will never be another one like it. It has always been my favorite of all time.
Agree..right up there with the Danny Thomas Show!
Don Knotts was fantastic. After he left I only watched it once in a while. Just not the same without Barney.
Ur right
I still watch it almost everyday. One of the best shows there ever was.
I also like that it matched Lucy and Seinfeld that it went out on top ❤
He had a good show along with Barney, Opie and others Teaching good morals, honesty, respect and humility.
All the American shows were like that. We got them here in New Zealand and enjoyed them. So what happened? It doesn't appear that many Americans learned anything from them where us Kiwis did

When I feel overwhelmed by our world, I watch Andy Griffith
Me Too!!! LOL!
@@montinegiles9364me three😊😊😊
Ditto! ❤
Same here
So do I ! I've seen every episode ever made several times, and still can't get enough!
One of the great shows to watch after coming home from school as a kid! Clean, wholesome and usually with a moral.
How these weirdo’s wrote the title to this video i was thinking the worst about Andy that he was a sausage puffer
Looking back at being a kid of 70-80? It was the best time! A lot of "G rates" great shows! Names at least 30 plus shows, that were on after school, and Saturday cartoon morning show! Now, I find myself watching them more now.
Omg get real .
Those were the days better then what it is now!! This world is going to hell in a hand basket!!
@@Melissa-wl7hp amen to that
The cast on this show was awesome. Watching this show was some of the best years of my childhood. RIP Andy Griffith❤

Amen 🙏 ❤
You betcha!

*The GirL died at 62!!! I Hate this Life!!!*
*but, I HoLd Out for JeHoVah God!!!*
I'm sorry to hear that .
I always liked the episode, "Mr. McBeeVee", Opie meets a lineman in the woods who has to climb trees to maintain lines, calls his equipment, "hands", they jingle, blows smoke to entertain Opie. People think Opie is making his new friend up. Andy gets so frustrated he even considers spanking Opie because he insists Mr. McBeeVee is real and refuses to admit he is "make believe". Andy upset, goes for a walk in the woods and runs into the real McBeeVee. He is overjoyed that Opie was telling the truth. Very heartwarming, a great ending!
I absolutely loved that episode too! The interaction between Opie and Mr. McBeeVee was heartwarming, and the ending was truly special.
How many times Andy came close to spanking Opie. Back when spanking wasn't abuse.
This is probably my overall favorite too. Andy comes to believe in something that seems impossible to him just because he has confidence in someone else. That is a valuable life lesson; at least when not blind demagoguery.
Barney: “So you believe in Mr. McBeeVee?
Andy: “No . . . no. But I do believe in Opie.
TOTALLY AGREE! Andy's trusting Opie gave me hope for the families of America. ..and I was a kid hoping my Pop would trust me like that.
Great episode.
My favorite was when the 3 women convicts held Barney and Floyd captive in the cabin. Floyd was especially hilarious.
That’s mine too.
Loved Howard McNear as Floyd. He was so wonderful and funny
Loved that they kept him on the show even after his stroke so that he could still be paid.
That was a great one. I gave you a thumbs up.
Floyd certainly couldn't be held responsible for those burned hamburgers!
One of the women convicts called Barney "Al" because he looked like somebody she knew named Al. When Floyd called him "Al" it was hilarious.
My favorite episode was when Opie was in competition with another boy to work at a grocery store. When Opie found out the other boy needed the job to help his family, Opie started acting out on the job and Andy got mad at Opie about it. Then Opie explained the real reason he had been acting that way. Then Andy was proud of him. I watched this show faithfully.
They don’t make shows like this anymore. Not even on Disney.
It's ironic you added not even on Disney. Everything put out by Disney in recent history has been designed to teach our children to be exactly the opposite of traditional wholesome and moral humans.
Dianey has gone over the "DARK SIDE" embracing the worst of WOKEism, while trying to interfere with Florida politics to impose their warped will on we the people of the state; forced their employees to also embrace WOKE ideology; made and remade movies filled with warped WOKE, LGBQ+-?!&%$# and transgender ideology. Well, they picked the wrong state for that crap, our governor kicked their asses. Even before they went WOKE, LGBQ+-?!&%$#, transgender crazy, the shows they featured on the Disney channel were abhorrent, nothing I would EVER allow a child to watch.
@@nathandehaan183 that is a ridiculous statement.
@@marionmillard8551 / Writers have an unwritten benefit (called a "writer's license" I believe) to deviate somewhat from strict fact - for the purpose of making a particular point! Much of the general public understood the issue
Disney is no longer and hasn't been family orientated in a long time. Sad to say, I never go to there park and haven't for 10 yrs or more because of it.
I don't have any particular episode, but just enjoyed the program growing up in the 60's. I remember walking from our cottage in the summer to the lake down a nice, country path and whistling the theme song every day. Good memories, and I can still smell the blueberries and damp leaves in the woods -- all part of the Andy Griffith Show experience!
Would love to live in Mayberry.🤗
I live in North Carolina and the show seemed pretty much like normal life here. I'm about Ron Howard's age. Now an episode of Andy Griffith is comforting to me and puts me right to sleep.
I see how watchers like me can't deny the story could shift to an iconic actor Ron Howard..His roles always centered around....Happier Days! No pun intended.
My favorite was when Denver Pyle and the boys came down from the mountains. and the little sister sang so well!
Charlene Darling! ❤
The band was a real band and popular one "The Dillards"
The one where Otis uses Barney's address while "talking in his sleep" to give up the Still's location was classic! Otis was a spectacular character!
Imagine today's law enforcement allowing a well liked alcoholic to sleep it off. Nope! lol
I agree! Otis was too cute! Especially on that episode!!
Otis was great. The two greatest portrayers of drunks were Hal Smith and Foster Brooks and neither man drank.
@@glenbard657 my dad absolutely loved Foster Brooks! He always laughed so hard at his shtick!
I loved Otis and Foster Brooks
This is one of the best television shows to grace the screen. I love its simplistic storytelling of life in a small town. It's a gem that will show on TV for years to come.
Don Knotts was a classic! I have to say he is the best! Such an amazing actor!❤
Show was never the same when Barney left. For me anyway.
The show was never the same when Don Knotts left. I loved every episode but Barney made it so funny.
I loved the money the ghost and Mr chicken
My favorite when Andy and Helen go back to the town picnic ,reenter a cave so Barney can lead the rescue...made me tear up just a little.thank you.
There were so many favorite episodes. I still love em today, as if it is the first time.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
One of my favorite episode is when Aunt Bee first came to live with Andy and Opie. Opie didnt like her at first then when Aunt Bee was going to leave Opie came to the car and told her she couldnt leave cause she didnt know how to do anything. Then Opie and Aunt Bee hug and she get teary eyed. My eyes get teary everytime i see that episode.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
my favorite episode is when Opie spent his money buying a girlfriend a coat because her parents didn't have much money but Andy thought he wanted to buy her a toy and was mad that Opie had only donated a few penny's to another charity. Andy ends up "eating crow" as he put it at the end of the episode..
Made me tear up. Miss those days.
I remember that one.
Oh wow I remember that episode.
Do you know what it was Titled as by any chance, Anyone ?!?!?! I'd Love to Watch that one again. 😁❤❤❤
A half a boy, LoL
I have to agree.
Favorite episode: “Andy on Trial” - Barney steps out of character, tells the Commissioner to pound sand (he wouldn’t step down from the stand), and delivers a wonderful monologue about Andy in his role as sheriff, ending with “you do a whole lot better if you go not so much by the book, but by the heart” … I’ve never forgotten that last line.
I loved watching all the Andy Griffith’s shows
I'm glad you enjoyed watching all the episodes of The Andy Griffith Show! It's a timeless classic.
Yes, and Matlock was my favorite show!
I liked them all. Family show, family values, and always a laugh or two. All of the family shows during the 60's were the best.
Yeah, a world of make believe for it truly was not like that in the real world.
There's no way for me to say which one of the shows was my favorite. I still watch The Andy Griffith Show religiously. It was a great place as a child to learn my moral code. It is my deepest heartfelt desire that the show will continue to inspire Generations into Infinity.
I have always loved this show and still watch re-runs of it. It was wholesome and funny without being lewd. I was a little kid when it was on and still love it.
There were so many Good episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. We learned a lot as children Respect and Morals.
Absolutely! The Andy Griffith Show was a great source of wholesome entertainment and life lessons. It truly shaped our values.
My favorite was when Andy joined the "Darlins" to play good old southern Bluegrass!
Yes, that episode was a true gem! Andy's musical talent and the Darlins' performance were a delightful combination.
How many straangs you used to Sheriff? This straangin' instrument has only 5. Kind of keep that thumb a hangin' in the breeze. A 1 and a 2 and away we go... Dooley was good old man who lived below the mill..
My Airy NC
Indeed!!
@@gloriahodge255 yes
Growing up in the 70s we had all the best most wholesome shows you could watch . nothing now can compare to then. to many to name.
Greatest show of my childhood. I learned so much about life, honesty, kindness, empathy, sympathy, and all of the important things kids need to learn from this show. Both of my parents were working. My favorite episodes were 1) when Aunt Bea first came and Opie didn’t seem to like her and she decides to go back home 2) the show where Opie accidentally shoots a mother bird with his slingshot, and the babies are left motherless. To this day I remember the last line of that show, “But don’t the trees look full,” spoken by Andy. And in the show where Aunt Bea decides to go back home because things aren’t working out with Opie, I will always remember Opie crying “but Paw, she doesn’t know how to do anything. She NEEDS me.” Oh, how I cried at both those last lines. Such tremendous writing and acting. And of course, it goes without saying that Barney was too funny for words. When I wasn’t in tears, I was in stitches due to Barney.
My favourite show growing up brings back so many good memories.
This show should be a requirement in all schools. Every episode had a lesson to be learned.
A true classic with such pure wisdom.
I never would have guessed Aunt Bee hated kids. I loved her as a child. She was an excellent actress.
It's Bea as in Beatrice.
Always found her irritating.
@@bkaley8974 no, it’s actually spelled Bee. If you look at the credits, that’s how it’s spelled. It’s weird but true.
You would never guess that dear old Grandpa Walton was gay either. But that's true too. It's called acting.
@@atomicwedgie8176 Agree. I've never liked her even though I loved what she was supposed to be. Never a good fit for what I perceived how the character was supposed to be.
All of them were my favorite and I could still watch them every episode a million times!!❤
*The GirL died at 62!!! I Hate this Life!!!*
*but, I HoLd Out for JeHoVah God!!!*
The Andy Griffith show was one of the best shows ever. It taught good morals something that is lacking in TV shows now. As a Senior Citizen I no longer watch TV because it doesn't teach the right things to children or adults anymore. We need to return to those days when certain things were tabu on screen.
Taboo
One of my favorite episodes of the AG Show was when Gomer made a Citizens Arrest of Barney just after Barney had given his lecture about breaking the law. Gomer kept yelling Citizens Arrest. Citizens Arrest at Barney as he made his illegal u-turn. It was hilarious.
In real life, Jim Neighbors was the polar opposite of Gomer Pyle. No openly gay marines then.
I think there was only one season when they had both Barney and Gomer.
That was hilarious!! Thanks for bringing that one up!!
Citizen’s arrest, citizen’s arrest!!
Love it 🥰 Brought a smile on my face ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Andy Griffith Show is the only show that is a 'Andy fix' for my family to reset a rough day! My favorite show!
I have 3 favorites... "Man In A Hurry" "The Sermon For Today" and "Barny's First Car" LOVE those three episodes! 😍 the show takes me back to the simple times and when life was sooo good! I grew up in the 60's, so I often travel back there in my mind, and through great TV shows like The Andy Griffith Show. (Nostalgic)
I loved the Andy Griffith Show. I loved all the characters in the show. I just wanted to let you know that the town that Andy is buried in is Manteo, pronounced Man-tee-o. As a fellow North Carolinean, I wanted to let you know.
Used to live in Reidsville NC
Beautiful country.....
Aunt Bea coming was my very favorite.
"She can't fish or nothing"
Opie was the cutest little boy in the world 😅
Which to some, may hold true to this day. If a woman can't fish or climb trees then what? lol
Ron Howard is a classic example of someone who was a really cute kid and a really homely adult.
@@glenbard657 Or Pernell Roberts. He was gorgeous in Bonanza and went the other way as he aged.
@@ReviewsChannel-e4r Likewise Robbie Robertson of The Band...ew.
@@glenbard657 I can identify.
My favorite has to be the pickle episode. Barney called Aunt Bee's pickles "kerosene cucumbers" and they went to extremes to keep it from her. Helen Crump was my favorite girlfriend for Andy.
I watched this show constantly when growing up. My favorite? That’s easy! All of them....Ha.....I actually ❤ them all. 😊
My favorite episode is the one about the businessman (Robert Emhardt) who is stranded in Mayberry on a Sunday afternoon. He learned that people needed to relax and not always be in a hurry. Of Andy's girlfriends, I liked Peggy the best. She was pretty and had a sweet, Southern accent.
steveinge7058 And she was only in four episodes.
I like the business man episode too.
I liked Peggy too! Better than Helen. Helen had a temper!
I liked Peggy (Joanna Moore) too. She and Mary (Sue Ane Langdon) were much better looking than Helen (Aneta Corsaut). Joanna Moore is Tatum O'Neal's mother.
I actually have two favorites. One is where Opie and friend are playing baseball and it goes into the haunted house. Andy sends Barney and he of course is scared to go himself. The other one is The Christmas episode where Ben wants Andy to arrest someone and the ehole family winds up in jail. Ben keeps getting in trouble so he can be arrested too. He wants to join in for the Christmas party. The best show ever. I watch this every day, even though I have watched them dozens of times.
I loved Ernest T Bass. That guy could make me laugh my head off. He would throw rocks and was just so funny especially when he was looking for a girlfriend. I know he's passed away and is looking down from heaven watching himself on youtube and hopefully not throwing rocks.
My Rowena! Lol
Howard Morris was Ernest T. Bass. He was also one of the writers for the show. A very talented and funny man.
That's funny because I hated Ernest T. Bass and I really didn't care for the Darlings either. My favorite supporting character was Otis Campbell.
My favorite are the episodes with Ernest T. Bass! That guy could make a statue laugh!
He was hilarious! I believe the actor who played him was one of the writers for the show.
I couldn't agree more! Ernest T. Bass always brought a lot of laughter and entertainment to the episodes.
Ah, Ernest T. Bass! Did you ever notice that he was the only married man in Mayberry? Everyone in Mayberry was single, except for him, and his wife! And he spent most of his time drunk and in jail!
@@markcollins2666 Wrong character. Ernest T. was very single. He would throw rocks at the windows of ladies he was trying to “woo”. He had a gold tooth in front, and a loud, nasal voice, all of which he fancied made him quite the catch!
@@markcollins2666 that was Otis
I liked when opie shot the bird with the slingshot then raised the babies
I HATED that one! I've ALWAYS LOVED ALL ANIMALS, and starting when I was a very little girl, was always finding/saving baby birds and other animals that had fallen out of their nests. My parents would help me, of course, but I was very committed to saving them. It really upset me when that bird was killed on the show, even though I knew it didn't really happen. I was only about five or six years old. 😭
@@goosewhisperer6275 Hey. It’s make believe. And it wasAndy's favorite episode.
In my opinion, Anita Corsault was one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the small screen. Her eyes are so expressive and the secrets hidden in their depths so profound that a person could get lost in them. Her face is perfectly shaped and she does not need makeup to enhance her graceful beauty.
I'm a 65 year old, heterosexual woman and my gate definitely swings just one way, but I can and do appreciate pure beauty when I see it. Anita Corsault was possibly one of the most beautiful women in the world. It's no wonder that Andy Griffith fell in love with her!
Wonder why he didn't get divorced. Um sure his wife wanted out after their affair came out
Agreed
@@lindav1189 That's easy to guess. Likely it was his net worth and royalties rolling in.
When the video mentioned that Andy and Helen almost kissed on several occasions I thought of the episode where Barney is showing Goober how to handle women and so they are looking in the window at Andy and Helen watching tv. Then Andy is gonna kiss her and Goober yells out, "He's doing it. He's doing it". Andy hears him and comes to the window. Very funny.
I don't see it at all. As someone once told me, "Everyone's dog is somebody's sweetheart."
This is absolutely the best show. Wish we had times like this now life would be so much better. ❤❤
*The GirL died at 62!!! I Hate this Life!!!*
*but, I HoLd Out for JeHoVah God!!!*
Thelma Lou was great too!
I Grew up just down the road from Mayberry, NC(aka Mount Airy). Our little community was just like Mayberry when I was growing up in the 1960's into the 70's. We watched the show every time it was on as a Family back then and I(we) still watch it as it is on all the time here in NC still on the Local Channels.
We go to Mount Airy regularly and still eat at the Snappy Lunch(Love that Pork Chop Sandwich!!!) and I still get my haircut in town as well. Drive by Andy's House all the time just to take a look.
We still miss those days of old...
Ive been watching the reruns for the first time this past year. Its wholesome and funny, especially Don Knotts. My favorite episode was when Barney was sent to the town Department store to watch for theives, likely an inside job during open hours and Barney Fife Don Knotts hides in the store...its very funny. Great show, i look forward to watching taped episodes every night at bedtime.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
🥰 Yet ANOTHER of my favorites! Barney was disguised as a mannequin! 😂😂😂🥰
That episode was funny! As Barney is posing like a mannequin, Opie’s little brother walks up with his sandwich, as always, and holds it up to Barney.😂
Don Knotts made that show. I never liked it when it aired back in the day, but watching the re-runs, I really laugh at some of the antics.
It's interesting to hear your perspective on Andy's girlfriends. Miss Donahue did have chemistry with him, and Helen was a surprising revelation.
This Is still comfort TV to me.
My favorite episode is Mr. Mcbevee😂 Love how Andy says wryly,
Mr. Mc-be-vee😅 and the mysterious man, responds and walks down telephone pole!! Confirming Opie wasn't lying about his friend in woods!! Also,the episode when Barney couldn't keep top secret of truck full of gold coming through town, when Barney walk by kids in town, they screamed, "When the truck of gold coming, Barney!!" He halts in his tracks, and the look on Barney's face is priceless!😂😂 Must admit I don't watch episodes after Don Knott's left to pursue
Movie career.
BTW, I hated Ms Crump😏.
I completely agree! The Mr. McBeevee episode is a classic, and the telephone pole scene always cracks me up. And yes, Barney's struggle with keeping secrets is hilarious! As for Ms. Crump, she definitely added some drama to the show.
Warren replacement as Barney left sucked!
Yeah, I liked ‘Ellie’s’ disposition much better than ‘Helen’s.’
Barney joins the choir has to be in my personal top ten.
I couldn't pick just one favorite episode. Some of my favorites involved catching moonshiners. One had the grouchy old Jubal Foster who blamed Opie and his friends for his barn burning down when it was really him who accidentally started the fire. It was hilarious when Barney got drunk after he drank what he thought was water. There was also the episode when Otis Campbell (one of my absolute favorite characters) and another bum were using an abandoned house, that everyone thought was haunted, to hide their still. Finally, there was the one where the flower shop ladies were running a still, but only selling liquor for special occasions like National Potato Day.
Mine is the one where the stranger comes to town acting like he lives there because he wants to live there.
The Dillards or Ernest Bass visiting town were all great episodes but a really well-written show was the one where Buddy Ebsen played a hobo who was influencing Opie's behavior. A very complex situation for Andy to handle in this lighthearted series.....
That's Ernest T. Bass. lol
@@ReviewsChannel-e4r The episode aired in 1961 "Opie's Hobo Friend" starring Buddy Ebsen as David Browne.....
Andy Griffith always reminded of my grandpa. I swear the resemblance is uncanny. I also loved watching the show .
My Pa was very much like Andy Griffith with his temperament and the way he avoided physical punishment unless it was something beyond bad... He came out of combat in WWII a changed man, I think loving his wife & 3 son's was his salvation. Yep, Andy always reminds me of Pa.
Among my favorite episodes (how can you choose just one episode?) is the one where Barney gets the motorcycle.
That episode with Barney and the motorcycle is definitely a classic! It's hard to pick just one favorite episode. So many memorable moments!
Andl then proceeds to con Andy into riding the sidecar. The scene where Barney takes off leaving Andy sitting in the UNATTACHED sidecar while the locals laughed their asses off is an alltime classic.
@@michaelwolf6424 Exactly. It is that scene that makes it onto my list of all-time favorite episodes.
A similar copy-cat thing happened on "Hogan's Heroes" When Schultz rode off and the side car that Colonel Klink was sitting in remained behind and fell over.
@@wayneyadams I think you and I have slightly warped senses of humor. I watch. . "HO. ..gannnn" far more than I care to admit. Fun facts: Werner Klemperer (aka Col Klink) was a world class violinist. At his insistence, all the German officers were Jewish. .as was he. Bob Crane was a very drummer himself. The opening drumline is his. Unfortunately, as you may know, his addiction to pornography and shady characters ended his life.
Yet, every time I see one of the prisoners entering the outside tunnel under that doghouse while a German shepherd sits inside, it cracks me up. The old shows were the best. This new woke shyt is a sad tomato.
@@michaelwolf6424 The Jewish actors agreed to do the show only if the Germans were shown to be buffoons, which was accomplished in every episode. Klink parading about like a preening Peacock touting his perfect no escape record as the prisoners entered and exited the camp at will going on sabotage missions, spying, and in one episode Hogan flying to Britain for a meeting and returning with Klink completely unaware.
Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) was born in Cologne, Germany, to a musical family but he said that he had little musical aptitude. His father was renowned conductor Otto Klemperer and his mother was soprano Johanna Geisler. He broadened his acting career by performing as an operatic baritone and a singer in Broadway musicals. After "Hogan's Heroes" he earned a Tony Award nomination for his performance in Cabaret in its 1987 Broadway revival. Klemperer died of cancer at his home in Manhattan on December 6, 2000, at the age of 80.
John Banner (Sergeant Schultz) originally studied law at the University of Vienna before he decided he wanted to be an actor. He left his birth country, Austria-Hungary, when Hitler annexed it. Once here he learned English and served in the Army as a supply Sergent and also appeared on recruiting posters. Banner died on January 28, 1973 on his 63rd birthday following a burst abdominal aortic aneurysm hemorrhage while visiting friends in Vienna.
Howard Caine (Major Hochstetter) was born Howard Cohen in Nashville. He had to suppress his southern accent when he became an actor; he went on to become a master of 32 foreign and American dialects. He served in the United States Navy during World War II, from 1944 to 1946, fighting the Japanese in the Pacific Theatre. He was an award-winning banjo player, winning 29 trophies. He was also a popular folk singer. He was originally a Broadway actor before moving to movies and television. Quite a different person than his major Hochstetter character. Caine died of a heart attack on December 28, 1993, five days short of his 68th birthday.
Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) was born Leo Aschkenasy into a Jewish family in Vienna, he fled Austria to the United States in 1940, after having been beaten and abused by the Nazi SA and SS. His parents were murdered in the Treblinka death camp. He then served in World War II as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Forces. His acting career was unremarkable, appearing in minor roles in the movies and on TV. He died from natural causes in Vienna on June 3, 2005, at the age of 97 of natural causes.
My favorite episode is when Andy first met Miss Crump. It seems that Opie didn't like school because of history, So, he began sharing history through storytelling. I don't know what season or episode, but it was great because I am a historic storyteller. My next favorite is when Obie bough a girl a coat because her family didn't have much money, Great TV show.
Andy mett helen in season 3. they hid their relationship till season 4.
Oh yes Paul Revere!
The Christmas Story was my absolute fave. Ben Weaver showed a different side of himself. Perfection!
I always enjoyed the Andy Griffith show. It brings back good memories of my childhood. Offen watching I'd be encouraged and uplifted by all the episodes.
I couldn't say I had one favorite episode because I enjoyed them all. And still do with the reruns.
My favorite episode was with Barbara Eden. Not just because of her beauty but it compiled some of my favorite morals sometimes illustrated in other episodes. Admitting when you're wrong. Being circumspect enough to see where you're wrong before the harm is done or Barbara Eden can't survive in your world just because she's different. A freak of beauty. Not a buck tooth inbred bigot. The heroes, and even the entire town learning they can be wrong is a foundation of western civilization. But when I was younger it was my favorite episode because of Barbara Eden.
😊
Was it really necessary to stereotype rural people as bucktooth inbreds? Biased bigot.
😅
Andy told her, "Nature's been good to you. In fact I don't think I have seen nature spend so much time on a person". lol
She could STOP traffic that's for sure and for many many years...
I remember my mother in law was VERY serious and rarely laughed, but when she watched Barney, she would laugh so hard she'd have tears in her eyes. I don't recall her ever laughing at anyone else on TV. She is gone now, along with all of them. Time flies sometimes.
Loved the Peggy the nurse episodes too. They were really well written! Joanna Moore was so beautiful!
I really liked Peggy and Andy. There was so many episodes that I enjoyed, one being "A Date For Gomer", where Gomer was set up on a blind date with Mary Grace, Thelma Lou's cousin..
Peggy was much more interesting than Helen. Too bad they didn't keep her around.
Great episode!
Mary Grace Canfield was a wonderful actress! She was great as a teacher on a comedy pilot called Archie that I saw here on UA-cam. Could be both funny and touching, as she was playing Gomer’s date. I believe she was also in Pollyanna and Green Acres.
@@Daisnap I think she was a painter on Green Acres.
@@TooLooze Yes, I looked it up - she played a carpenter named Ralph!
Lots of excellent episodes in this classic series.
My favourite was the one where Opey befriended Mr MacBeavey. The relief on Andy Griffith’s face when he realized that Opey wasn’t lying, but just simply described him through the eyes of a child. The vocabulary Opey used sounded to an adult that he was imaginary, but he was indeed real. Opey learned the lessons a caring father teaches his son that he shouldn’t tell lies, and that he was proud of his son.
but Andy said he was going to give Opie a beating for lying. He threatened Opie with capital punishment 3 or 4 times which is surprising. "Keeper of the Flame" for one. Apparently he did beat him in this episode. That is the impression we were given for playing with fire.
Favorite episode is the Citizens Arrest . Funniest
The Very Best Show Ever! It was clean, there was always a good message and plot on every show, the actors never used profanity and the show was just so pure! The most entertaining and enjoyable Shows to have ever been on TV!
My favorite episode was when Barney purchased a magic box and he conjured up Count Zarnecky (I still remember the counts name... Lol). Opie received his 3 wishes also
My favorite episode from Andy Griffith Show is "The Fun Girls."
I also really enjoyed watching "the Fun Girls." My favorite Andy Griffith episodes are the 3 shows which featured "the Fun Girls" (gravel-voiced Daphne and giggly Skippy.) The 3 episodes they starred in were titled - "Barney Mends a Broken Heart" which was aired in Season 3 and was Episode 6 in that season. "Fun Girls" which was aired in Season 4 and was Episode 27 in that season. And "The Arrest of the Fun Girls" which was aired in Season 5 and was Episode 28 in that season.
@@loisdotcom 🥰 Oooooh, I LOVED those episodes, too! Thanks for the titles! 🥰
🥰 A definite favorite of mine, too! 🥰
I still watch Andy Griffith everyday. I loved them all. I enjoy how Opie and Andy, showed so much care for one another. I just smile after every episode. I watched as a young girl and still today. ❤
I love the Andy Griffith show. It was the best and is still the best.
This show has got to be the greatest show ever made. The best, cleanest humor, teaching respect for people, especially your elders, and just teaching all good morales in life. I’ll never quit watching it, or get tired of watching it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did I miss something? “Andy’s children confirm the rumours….” What were the rumours confirmed?
I'm not sure what rumors were being referred to. Can you provide more context or information about what was being discussed?
I think they’re referring to the rumors of the affair he was having with the actress who played Helen Crump
Click bait...
@@eloiseockert9233 We've known about that affair for a long time.
@@mikamamma What a relief!
My all time favorite dialogue between Andy and Opie……
Andy: I was reading here just the other day there are 400 needy boys in this county alone, or 1 1/2 boys per square mile
Opine: there is?
Andy: there sure is
Opine: I never seen one pa
Andy: seen what?
Opie: a half boy
Andy: well, it’s not really a half boy, it’s a ratio.
Opie: Horacio who?
Andy: not Horacio, a ratio. It’s mathematics, arithmetic. Look now Opie, just forget that part of it. Forget that part about the half boy
Opie: pretty hard to forget a thing like that, pa.
Andy: well, try
Opie (shaking his head) Poor Horacio!
😂
I loved the episodes with the Darlins Clan. The music was incredible and Andy would join in and play his guitar with them!
This show was a classic for sure. I will always remember the Andy Griffith show.❤❤❤
Now that I am older I am soaking the episodes up like a sponge. Barney and Andy, a great matchup. I enjoy all the actors including Floyd the barber.
When i was younger, i couldent stand the show. 40 years later, I started watching it and been watching it every night for over 20 years. Great show with those two guys.
I love this show. It has always been one of the greatest in my experience.
I never got into the gossip, not my style. The one episode that stands out is the goat that ate the dynamite.
!!KABLOOIE!!
The goat eating the dynamite was fantastic. Barney played the harmonica to get the goat to follow him. It just cracks me up to this day!
@@josephmay8837 It was a good one.
Nothing like attacking the guy after he is dead. Kids must have run out of money.
Usually do
They must have been desperate. No class.
I think speaking truth about family secrets is correct and right. If Andy had affairs then why keep that secret? I am sure there was conflict in the home. I expect they grew up with everyone saying " oh you are so lucky you have him as a dad." Well maybe he was not a good dad. Maybe they grew up in a vert dysfunctional home and are damaged by that. Maybe telling the truth helps them. He was apparently unfaithful to his wife. Not a man of character at all, he just played one on tv. I think that truth is the kids to tell.
@@LeahcimKennel How do you know its true and why say it after he is dead? You just want to know other peoples business. I wonder what you have done in your life that everyone needs to know.
@@LeahcimKennel As smitten as he was for Anita, infidelity is very damaging to all.
Just the other day, I was sorting through all the old paperwork of my now deceased parents. My father passed in 2000, my mother in 2015, and this was work I had put off. Amongst the rolls of drafting paper, I came across a roll drawn of the RKO lot in Culver City.
My dad always said the cast and crew of the Andy Griffith Show was his favorite to work with. Upon his retirement, he had become the Techical Superintendent of the Universal Studios Back Lot. As one of 8 men who ran that studio, he was in charge of all indoor and outdoor set construction. He started out at Universal, then went to Desilu which was later bought out by Paramount next door. He worked for Paramount for 5 years, when they finally severed him, as there were two people for nearly every position. When Universal found out, they snapped him right back up. He was nothing short of a creative and technical genius….and yet very humble, as he was also an Elder in our church who would easily step into the pulpit when the Pastor was away. By his very nature, he commanded the love and respect of all who worked with him. The last major project I remember him working on was doing the Cost Accounting for the Universal CityWalk before it was built. Then he retired at 62, due to a knee injury suffered on the Back Lot. But then he came out of retirement and went to work for Aaron Spelling until he was 65.
But in all those years in “The Biz,” his fondest memories were when he worked with the Andy Griffith Show. I remember Griffith lived next door to Universal City, in Toluca Lake, CA, for many years. As for his personal life, if my father knew anything about, he was not the type to spread it. Gossip is not a Christian thing and my father walked his talk.
Your father sounds like a stand up guy.
I began to truly appreciate Andy Griffith's acting skills in the series you didn't mention -- Salvage -- my favorite of the series he did.
That show was so cleverly written and was a true classic. My favorite episode was the one about Aunt Bea’s pickles.
I think Aleta and Andy had much chemistry on screen! Favorite episode…….wow that is a tough one! The episode where Ellie wants to give some cosmetics to Frankie! But her dad says no! Until Andy convinces him it would make him win a son in law!
Sheriff Andy definitely needed some one. Just because his wife died, doesn't mean he died too. It definitely added to the show, especially since Barney, his deputy and best friend, was also dating at the same time.
That reminds me of a little joke I heard.
Did you notice that everyone in Mayberry was always happy. Did you also notice that everyone was single?
Everyone that is except Otis, and he was drunk most of the time 😁
Opie And The Bully was the best dad moment for Andy best advice a parent can give their kids. The bottom line don't let fear run your life.
Yes, that is a great one. The best episodes for me are the ones where Andy teaches Opie about life. The one where Opie accidentally kills a bird is the best.
Had dinner with Andy in 1981 while filming a movie in the Pocanoes Pa … A very very nice man ❤
I felt Helen and Andy were really good together and that was before I knew what was going on. I also feel Matlock ended because she was dying of cancer and wanted to "spend time with family and friends". Sometimes I wonder how Cindy felt knowing Andy would leave her in a heartbeat for his "true" heart and soul. Andy might have been a womanizer, but Aneta was THE one, I truly believe. Oh, and my favorite episode was Man In A Hurry.
My favorite episode was when Barney dressed as a bride to fool Ernest T Bass. The show was not the same when Don Knotts left. However I do love his movies . My favorite is the "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." I always watch it during Halloween or when I feel down.❤😊
Amazing show throughout my life of 52 years, great Tribute to the Show as Well ! THANK YOU !!
👌👌👌💚💛💚💛💚💛💚
We're glad you've enjoyed the show for so long! It's always wonderful to hear from loyal fans like you. Thank you!
You are amazing filling the voids with your research! Im subscribing!
❤ My favorite episode was when Andy had to take Otis to his home because the jail was full. Aunt Bee went to feed Otis and he told her to come back he was a prisoner and expected to be treated like one. Aunt Bee decided to be his Warden and worked Otis like crazy it was so funny 😂. Another one I love is when Barney thinks there an invisible count granting wishes. Truthfully i feel if the Police now a days would act like Andy Taylor, maybe things would be a lot different. I watch this series and enjoy it every single time. 🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾
I watch this show Everyday after work and Every Saturday morning. It’s my go to for peace and calm💝
Brilliant Channel 👍, We didn't get many episodes of that program here in England, or at least I don't remember many , I remember Andy in things but never put a name to the face , I always find it upsetting seeing the actors get old , however it comes to us all Hollywood or not 😊
What was the closet British equivalent of the show? How would the show be received?
It was a wonderful time to grow up and watch Andy Griffith Show. Wholesome, funny show. I miss those times
"Peggy" was awesome. What a beautiful lady.
I love the cameo Andy Griffith did for Brad Paisley, in the song, Waitin' on a Woman.
