- The Andy Griffith Show (Mayberry) was filmed in the 1960's on a 40 acre set and so were quite a few other films and TV shows dating back as far as the 1930's including "Gone with the Wind".
Cut together here are just a couple other popular TV shows that used the set. - Розваги
There is several great shots of the entire 40 acres backlot available online, its ashame the whole lot was plowed under. If they kept just the mayberry section of the backlot, it would be considered a sacred shrine!!
+Jamie Whitefield, a great shrine for sure.
What is stopping anybody from recreating that? That can be done. I would like to do that if I could find the money.
Sad to see all of it gone.
It will never be gone from our memories.
Nice to look back on a happier, simpler time.
Herman Glimsher AMEN to that!
+Herman Glimsher ..even though there never was a happier simpler time--except in our rear view mirrors
actually there was. and i still live in it. i refuse to live in the modern times. i drive old cars from way back in the day .i still listen to old rock songs and bands. and i still dress like i did back in the late 60 early 70s./ i prefer hose times to what we have now.the only thing i will use from these times is the computer ,for youtube.hate todays tv. yeah ,there were more simple times and i like it here,
Elgin Fans I miss those times.
Herman Glimsher Yes Amen to that! In some instances ignorance is bliss! The age of information isnt always what it's cracked to be!
I worked on television for several years. You would be surprised how many times they use the same sets over and over for different shows. It's just matter of redecorating and changing angles. For example, on one show I worked on a set and it was supposed to be a meat packing plant. And on another show the same set became a prison just by moving some walls and adding bars.
Lee Jay .. it's amazing what different angles will do with a camera. ..
👍 you did a really nice job on this!
The alley to the left of Floyd and Emmit's place was the same alley Superman would run into as Clark Kent, and run out of as Superman....
Boy what a great show that was still watch it, they need to bring back the Andy Griffith show and teach some morals to this generation big time
B McSue My sentiments exactly.👌🏽 I watch this show everyday on TV Land and Netflix. It never gets old and it honestly makes me wish I could've lived during such a time when everyone respected one another. They still had their problems, of course, but it just seems like it was a simpler (and happier) way of life.
B McSue imagine a Andy Griffin for this generation?
Fun to see! Thanks for posting. ...that courthouse has been in practically everything!
Im 12 years old and I enjoy it. Easily the greatest show ever
You can't go wrong watching The Andy Griffith show, George! You'll grow up to be a fine man!
As kids of the 70s we snuck' in there many times really quiet. .. they also filming Hogans Hero's and Gomer Pile at that time..
Yes I did enjoy; but saddened a bit to see its all past by now.
Thanks for this VERY entertaining video! As a fan of all the shows involved, this was a real treat for me!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. that why i made it.
Thank you for your kind comment.
Those 40 acres brings back a lot of memories !
That's cool. I used to watch Star Trek when I was a kid and Ive seen that episode. Just started watching Andy Griffith show in my 30's. Now that Ive seen this....I just realized....wow. Thanks for this video.
that's great! I'm glad you enjoyed it and are carrying on the tradition.
Wally's filling station was across the street from the quanset huts used on Gomer Pyle USMC!
+Jamie Whitefield : nice bit of information that I didn't know, thanks for posting it...
This is the most interesting video I've watched today. Probably the most interesting I've watched all week. Being a huge fan of Andy Griffith and Star Trek, I thought it was really cool to see.
Enjoyed this very much. Three of my favorite shows as a kid. Wholesome stuff.
As a Star Trek and Andy Griffith fan I found your video very interesting. Thanks very much for sharing.
Wow, thanks for sharing!! I have seen that Star Trek episode where they walk in front of Floyd's barber shop and never even noticed it!
Wow that was so cool. Thanks.

All DesiLu stuff. That's how they could use the same sets, same props, and so on. Dragnet, Adam 12, and Emergency have their Mark VII ties - they use the same actors again and again, for different roles. Quinn Martin Productions like "The Streets Of San Francisco" used the same Guest Stars over and over again, but for different roles. I'm a part-time actor, and during my gigs I learned that if the Directors, Casting Directors, A.D.'s, and other film personnel like you, they'll ask you to come back. It all ties back to making money and saving money (and time.)
Myer's Lake also shows up in many episodes of Combat! ...which was located several miles away at Franklin Canyon.
I still watch it over and over. Since my childhood days I always wanted to live there. The best ever.
Good catch on noting the different times this set was utilized. Reminds me of an old (SCTV?) show. As I recall, Ron Howard was a guest and Eugene Levy was Floyd the Barber. Ron, as an adult had come back to Mayberry for a visit. While sitting in Floyd's shop, Ron and Eugene reminisced about the Mayberry of old. During their conversation and visible from inside the shop all kinds of crime and mayhem was rampant outdoors. The whole situation was hilarious.
wow ive watched all those shows when i was a kid but i never realized this
Some of the move"Gone with the Wind was filmed at the 40 acres backlot. The Tara mansion was still standing on the lot until it was removed to make room for the Hogan's Heros set
Also filmed on Desilu's 40-acres backlot:The Adventures of Superman,The Green Hornet,Batman,Mission:Impossible.
That is so cool! Wow talk about a Twilight zone episode! Thank you for taking time to share!
I could almost see 'Squad 51' rolling to a stop on this same street / set in an episode of Emergency!
Wow that is fantastic, I had no idea! Thanks!~
The sets from King Kong (1933) were also at Forty Acres...they burned them down while filming Gone With The Wind !!
Excellent! I enjoyed and thank you.
That was crazy...thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!!
Really cool too bad it's all gone !
Wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this vid.... Great stuff and thanks for sharing
Thank you for this!
Thanks for posting. Very interesting
LOL i knew those back lots sets looked familiar , also the lake at Franklin Canyon Park was used on the Star Trek episode with the Native Americans , and in the opening lake for the Andy Griffith show.
This was a very strangely interesting video. Great job!!
Yes, 40 acres. I was there. By the way, it was used as Metropolis in the first season of Superman.
Thanks for the enjoyable video.
That's pretty clever. Interesting stuff.
The entire studio is beautiful.
The front looks like an old southern mansion and so much TV and movie history was made there.
I visit often.
I have a couple of videos of the place.
Hey George, id love to see what videos ya have. Do u have any posted to UA-cam? This video was GREAT!!! I wonder what Star Trek episode thats from.
Dee Ray
Dee Ray, I think one of those Star Trek eps was called "City on the Edge of Forever"
Elgin Fans great. Thankyou. I'll look that episode up on netflix later today.
Dee Ray hey Dee, you might also enjoy Star Trek episodes called "A Piece of the Action" and "The Return of the Archons" as they also have scenes shot in Mayberry :)
Elgin Fans sweet Elgin! Thanks. I watched that other episode today. Im a big fan of Andy Griffith, but I was wondering if they were about to condemn the whole set of Mayberry and thats why it looked so dirty and dilapidated or it was made to appear that way for S.T. I'll definitely go check those other episodes out though. Thankyou.
Yes, I did enjoy this! Thanks!
love it!!
Gomer Pyle: U.S.M.C. and HOGANS HEROES were also filmed there..
+star trek
They were filmed in the same Forty Acre back lot, but just down the dusty road a tad.
In the Untouchable scene, the taxi pulls up next to Col. Klink's staff car. LMHO!
Awesome
Nice job.
This is cool.
Using the same set for different television shows was a clever money saving devise that no one would notice, or even care about.
I knew about Star Trek, but the Untouchables was news to me.
When the Untouchables was originally on, I always missed the first half of the show, because of my Boy Scout meetings!
very good
That's cool I wondered why the Andy Griffith show and Star Trek were in a commercial about the two on the metv channel, I think it was. pretty neat to know
Wow, what a great job on this. I really enjoyed seeing the old back lot. Do you know if they saved anything before demolishing it.
They also filmed the TV show The Real McCoys at the Back 40 and some of the scenes for Tarzan movies...
yes! i believe that the McCoy's were filmed in the same section that later became the set for the Gomer Pyle quonset huts
They're all connected !!
very cool !
I beat some people have photos of those sets. It would be fun to get those together. I grew up around there.
The monsters are due on maple street.
Very cool
Thanks that's cool
cool
ha - this is great
Forgot to show The Twilight Zone episode. I'd name it, but can't remember.
Rod Doney; I could almost see 'Squad 51' rolling to a stop on this same street / set, in an episode of Emergency!
Watch old episodes of "The Adventures Of Superman".
B Mcsue..yes, some morals,I know people will say that every generation says "kids today" & what have you, but no..this is real, there is a problem today, television, pop culture, internet, video games, rock n roll is mainly dead as well as sports like boxing, wrestling, and others, that might have had not an excellent reputation, but with today's standards, I miss having them around in the mainstream, and music has even far worse examples today & we wouldn't have thought that possible, but to me the worst, is our local news people are all so young & immature & inexperienced, & national news is so biased & corrupt, leaning to liberal & democrats, & the two sides only agenda is vs each other, & to use the airwaves to control popular opinion, rather than to inform & comfort the population...its all such a disgrace..they do little & nothing for the public..& the country at one time belonged to white people & black people, & we didn't always get along the best, but we managed, & it was our country, now its any & all races & religions, & any & all sexual orientations, gay marriage & we all must adjust our daily lives to accommodate persons who are supposedly one gender now & by this after noon they're something else..how can you keep up to accommodate that? Target stores call police on you if youcomplain that a man dressed as a woman insists on using the restroom with your child, not call the police on the person using the restroom with your child, but on you for saying something about it...gay marriage, transgender, all you gotta do is, believe you're a woman when in fact you're a man,& for those who do the surgery, they are advised the surgery does not in reality change their gender, it is strictly for"entertainment" &/or explorative type purposes etc., is strictly a cosmetic procedure, & cannot in fact alter your gender or genetic make up in anyway(basically,its only for perverse role playetc),I'm sickened to wake up in this world, I'm glad I live tucked away in small communities,its an abomination to god, & people are going to be judged one way or another..
