I'm 47 years old and I watch Andy Griffith every chance I get. Although the show was made before my time, I enjoy it as if it were fresh and new on tv. The thumbs down is most likely from the 90s generation on up . The generation that doesn't appreciate anything
Best Barney I have heard except for the real Don Knotts!!!!!So many great memories of Andy Griffith show!!Makes me feel like warm inside and the world is a great place when I watch it!!Best show on television then and now when shown!Clean down home fun!!!!!!
Andy, and Barney, and Aunt Bee, and Opie, and Gomer and all of the other great lovable characters are now part of American folklore. They will last for generations to come.
I love that Bluegrass Band...really sweet playing ....there isnt anything to compare to some people who really truly love music down to their souls because it comes through their music their instrument tells a story.
This is as close to Mayberry as you are ever going to get. That show sure left a mark. I still watch it even though I have seen every single episode 10 times over. It's just fun.
Man I love this show. I Gram got me watching this when I was a little boy. I am 44 years old now and not only does this show make me feel happy but it brings back and floods my mind and heart with memories of my Gram and I watching this together when I was just 5 years old maybe younger. I wanted to be Andy when I was a kid.
We found a tom cat in rough shape in an alley laying right next to an empty bottle of whiskey, we rescued the weathered old tom took him to vet and doctored him up right as rain and named him OTIS!!!
Leave it to beaver Andy Griffith. Mackels navy,gomer Pyle Gilligan's island and other great comedies were pure humorous shows and the parents showing understanding principles and values not the trashy worthless shows the y have today...the fabulous 50s and 60s people don't know what they missed.
When my husband and I would travel back and forth from. NC to visit our families in WV we always stopped in Mt. Airy at the Wagon Wheel restaurant for supper or breakfast. Great food and really nice people.
SAY what you want, but I've lived here in NC for 18 years now and never have I thought about moving...NC has grown up a bit since the Andy days, but the basics are still here, ingrown in all...No matter where you come from you'll learn "Southern" sooner than you think.
I am 60 years old and I was a baby when this show started I will be 61 in a couple of weeks and I absolutely love the show for so many reasons can you please share with me how I met engaged in memory of the Mayberry spirit in my opinion this the best family show ever in my bituary I wanted mention that she loved the Andy Griffith Show
This is so awesome and the show was actually filmed at Desilu Studios, with the exteriors at forty acres in culver city California woodsy locales were filmed at Franklin Canyon
can't believe the critics about this. we stayed here knowing it wasn't "really Mayberry" but in a true sense it was. has the spirit of mayberry. took the tour in an old police car, saw where andy lived & you can stay there. museum was interesting but most of all felt really welcomed by the locals.
Absolutely, we've traveled from the adirondacks several times to Mount Airy and got the same feeling. We also stopped on the way down in Skylàr Va. To visit Walton's Mountain.
I watch 2 episodes of Andy followed by 1 episode of Gomer Pyle every evening. Today's TV shows can't even compare to the entertainment you get from these 2 shows. They make me laugh and just feel happy everytime!!!!!!
Mayberry was like Gilligan's Island--a great place for mental escapism. Living here in S. Korea I purchased all but one of the Andy Griffith Show DVD's. Whenever I want to take my mind off of the rat-race pressures of today's society, I simply insert a disc and away I go. Away to a simpler time, when people knew how to solve their problems in a civil manner. When church-going was as much a part of life as town picnics, shopping, sheriffing, and baking cookies for a bazaar. I think it's a forged time that people dream of...just turning away from reality for a moment or two.
Fantastic good video and celebration. Might put that one on my Bucket List along with a viewing of the original Rifleman rifle. It is said to be in a golf museum in Florida. Another on my list is Barney's original Motorcycle and Sidecar. It is said to be in a BBQ Restaurant/Museum in Colorado.
Is Floyd still a "miserable, deceitful WRETCH?" Howard McNear did that so well! That episode still cracks me up! It's nice to see Floyd still in Mayberry. He didn't move to Nashville, Houston, St. Louis, or wherever.
THAT GUY PLAYING BARNEY FIFE IS EXACTLY LIKE BARNEY AND FUNNY AS ALL GET OUT HE IS SO PERFECT HIS DELIVERY IS ON POINT HE IS VERY VERY FUNNY...HE IS BARNEY IMPROVED IF THATS POSSIBLE HE JUST MADE THE 5 OF US SAY BARNEYYYY AND WE LAUGHED LIKE HELL AT HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU.
it was a most family oriented show that was Clean and apsolutely no violence or bad language.not like today now that's all a person hears reads or sees and even as much as experience which is soo sad 😥😒 and unnecessary.bring bk a healthy lifestyle and and happy people 😳 I also thinks that it's amazing to be so dedicated to such a fun and enjoyable show as the Andy geriffen show.😆😉keep the great work up.thank you for sharing 😳have a good day everyone 🌞☁⛅🌈🌠🌠🌠🌈🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌛🌺🌿🌼🍃🌿🌻🍃🌹🌿💐🍃💮🌿🌸🍃🌷🌿and god bless 😇😇
About ten years ago I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. There were several attractions that boasted look a like cars, people, etc. There was one gentleman who was a scary dead ringer for Barney Fife, We wondered if he was related. I spoke to him later asking that. He said no. It was just one of those things. I'm looking at Barney Fife talking to me in a different voice (as he was out of character) and it was freaky.
@8:09...I see Elinore Donahue was a big enough woman to make an appearance, despite only being on the show one season. Too bad "Warren" (Jack Burns) didn't make it.
Betty Lynn aka Thelma Lou, you were the prettiest of the ladies on the show . The sweetest darling anyone could ever have hoped for in real life as life long companion.
Not to discredit the man but seeing this màn was in his 90 s when this video was made and Àndy being born in 1926 it's hard for me to believe he ever cut Andy's hair.
@@jillharris9919 He never did. He has been a long-time barber, but not that long, he was only a couple of years older than Andy. And his shop was never known as Floyd's until Mayberry Days began. There is only one business there that was in operation when Andy was a child -- Snappy's. This was a nice little video that gives a good flavor of Mayberry Days, but it has several fact errors.
I always wondered if some of the characters in the show were real life characters from Andy’s childhood ? Like Floyd and gomer and Barney and the darlings and Otis. Or were some real and some just made up.
Ok @ 0.57 he said this was as close to actually being on the show.How does he figure that? I mean not even close.I assume he trying to look like Goober(aunt Bee would say Gooba).I guess i need to give these folks credit after all they are the most devoted and dedicated fans i have ever seen.Never the less i enjoyed the show too.
I stop at a truck stop there on I77 just before the Virginia line and inside they have a lot of stuff for sale relating to Mayberry. Some of it is pretty cool while some of it is just grabbing for money so you have to be careful. I never knew that Andy Griffith grew up in that town until I watched this video. I knew he came from North Carolina so I just assumed that was what it was about. That show always meant a lot to me but I feel that Andy Griffith and Ron Howard put a stain on those memories when they got dressed up and acted like father and son for a commercial for Barrack Obama, I can't recall if the commercial was to help him get elected or pushing for Obamacare, but I thought that was taking this whole Hollywood political scene into a place it need not go. To begin with, the town of Mayberry would not elect people like Democrats of today. Do you think Andy and Opie and Aunt Bea and Barney and all the rest would support Abortions or gay marriage? Now before anyone jumps on me for saying that, I DO support abortions (to a point) and I do support gay marriage. But there is no way Mayberry would support people being forced to buy insurance as Obamacare does and they certainly would not support Obama's worldwide apology tour he went on after being elected. Why does Hollywood think they can take things like this and use them for their own political agenda?
Ernest T. Sullied away. I did not care for him as Ernest T. . I understand he did direct some of the show's and I love to hear him sing but a little of him goes a LONG way.
So called "real" Floyd the barber was not Griffiths childhood Barber. He was only 2 years older than Andy. Mayberry was not modeled after Mt Airy... from Griffith himself in an interview. Such a let down.
Google says Howard McNear ( Floyd ) died in 1969 at the age of 63, born in 1905, and Andy was born in 1926. They were wrong about Floyd still being alive too.
