Things You Never Knew About the Andy Griffith Show

Any cool facts we missed? Comment below!

Love the show, watching the reruns every day. A simpler time, with values, not like the world of today.

No childhood is complete without this show. Golden.

I love the show and grew up feeling like a citizen of Mayberry, it was like watching family. In recent years I have learned a lot of things about Andy Griffith the person that I try to not destroy my image of the show. I still watch it every night on METV.

The Andy Griffith show is, and will always be my favorite TV show. I have seen every episode, numerous times, and never get tired of watching them. There will never be another show like it. I loved every episode, but my 2 favorites are Opie the bird man, and the man in a hurry.

The "Andy Griffith Show, comes on for 3 hours, starting late afternoon, every day. I always watch this show while I cook dinner. My favorite episode was from the earlier episodes that were in black and white. Don Knotts left after 5 years of doing this show, and it wasn't the same thereafter. Also, when this show was in color, I didn't watch it as much. Watching the reruns of this show brings me back to a simpler time of innocence in my childhood. XO

I grew up in a fatherless family and this show gave me added values

I love this show!!! We once drove thru Mount Airy, North Carolina on our way home from Cherokee... They had the cop car at a local gas station....

I really enjoyed this video as I am a big fan of The Andy Griffith Show since I was a child and still watch it on occasion as it is Evergreen. Ever lasting tv classic.

Possibly the greatest sitcom ever! The grand daddy for sure.

Andy Griffith is my favorite TV show of all time. Timeless classic. Love your channel. Came across it by mistake. So glad I did. Thank you for your hard work and your trips back down memory lane.

Having watched it all my life it is as if I grew up in Mayberry and I often revisit it over the years......

i am still watching this show I love it

Really Loved The Andy Griffith Show

I am streaming the Andy Griffith Show as I watch this video. I am now on Season 6. I grew up watching this show ❤️

I absolutely love that show with Don Knott's. After he left oh well l didn't care for it nearly as much.

I never had the opportunity to watch TAGS when it was being broadcast in prime time. My family didn't have a television until 1966 and when my father finally bought a used black and white set, the older family members took over the set. I got into TAGS when I was visiting my uncle in the 70s. I still watch it to this day. Many of the episodes are still hilarious no matter how many times you watch them. The pickle episode. The choir episode, the one where Opie falls in love with Miss Crump. Funny stuff

One of my favorite shows was; S2 E6 "Opie's Hobo Friend" Nov 13, 1961 When a Hobo told Andy Taylor he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he wanted to live. Andy had these words of Mayberry wisdom. "No, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young’n decide for himself. He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it's hard to convince them that other things might be better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'Wait' and 'Trust me' and try to keep temptation away." Hobo Dave Browne was played by Buddy Ebsen. Just one year later Buddy Ebsen will begin his career-defining role as Jed Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies".

Grew up with the show and still love it. I've eaten Miracle Whip and peanut butter sandwiches all my life and still do at 68 years old.

This was great information! Small town life is wonderful. Oh how you’d want to live there! Each character were so natural! Barney probably made the show. But I absolutely loved Ernst T Bass he was just Genius! Gomer Guber the fun girls! Best show ever made thanks for the memories ❤️
