    One of the greatest if not the greatest show of all time. So tired of living in a big metropolis. I have always fantasized about living in a small town like Mayberry. Problem is the town is fictional and I have yet to find one like it. If anyone knows of a real town like Mayberry in the US comment below. I’m sure there is one out there somewhere. I’m still open to the move. 👍

    This show has been an all time favorite of mine. At the age of 53 we watch at least 3 episodes everyday and warms our hearts to know what true American values were, share in the love for the AGS. For the younger parents, get them watching shows like this, keep the memories going and perhaps someone in Hollywood will figure out what America is all about and produce a modern version of good wholesome family values!

I guess if I had one it would be Mr, McBeavey (?) episode. I have my 3 yr old granddaughter that watches the show with me. Now a choice between sponge-bob and Andy Griffith she always says Andy. I think she has a crush on Opie. Great show... Until recently, I did not know that Bill Bixby (Hulk), Bob Denver (Gillian), Barbara Eden (Jeanie), Sterling Holloway (voice of Pooh), Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse, DoHazzard), Buddy Ebsen (Uncle Jed Clampett) and a lot of others played parts on the show. I recently saw and didn’t realize that Elinor “Ellie Walker” Donahue played the lady who helped Julia Roberts get her clothes in Pretty Woman...

    Thank you so much for posting this. What a treat it is to have a look back behind the scenes and see the people who created the characters they portrayed. Even without sound, you can still see them as real people. I've been all over Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir, and it's nothing like it was back then. Access is restricted mostly to the paved roads they've made through there, and I'm not even sure you can get to the spot where they filmed the opening scenes for the show. Such a shame, because it's the one beautiful nook of the San Fernando Valley that's tucked away from all the filth and excessive development, and they don't let you have a picnic by the reservoir anymore. A lot has changed in that region of L.A since then. The United States was still largely rural at that time, and The Andy Griffith Show reflected an America that MOST people related to.Thanks again for this. :-)

    This was the America that I remember so well from my childhood in the late 1950's through the 1960's. I lived in a small town in Illinois, and it was very much like Mayberry With a population of under two-thousand people it was very intimate. we fished at the "Crick" & "Fishinhole", we loved our 4th of July parades, everyone knew and helped his neighbor and we never locked our doors! I lived across the street from the mayors son, we were best pals too lol.. now he is mayor of that little town. The fondest most heartwarming memories of my life happened in that little town, thank you Pecatonica, you mean the world to me!

      I did too J.D., we are so lucky to have lived the times we have. It's great the Andy Griffith show preserved those times for people to see and enjoy. Sadly some people want to tear all that apart and say "no that didn't really happen, you just imagined it" but we know better.

      Irvine, Kentucky. about 2000 people and a diner. When there was a program at the elementary school, the gym was packed to the gills, even with people that had no kids going there. On Sundays everything was closed. It was a great time for small town America.

    Priceless memories here. Thanks for posting. I'm the same age as Ron Howard, and I was Opie when I was his age, lived in the same kind of world he did. My dad and I always watched The Andy Griffith show together back then, those were great times.

      I'm the same age as you and Opie as well. I had kids very late in life and am a single parent. My 17 year old son and I have been watching Mayberry since he was about 6 and the show bonded us. I know watching the dynamics between Andy and Opie greatly influenced how I treat and respected and love my son. The Mr. McBeevy episode rips me up every time I see it when Andy decides to just believe Opie and not punish him. What a wonderful time it was back then.

    Two things noticed: First, these people work in front of cameras all day yet, when a person points a small hand held camera at them, they all act like everybody I ever see in old home movies!! Second, Ron Howard was ALWAYS a pro!! He's a little boy here yet you can just see the "working professional" all over him. Amazing.
