Let’s Visit THE REAL Mayberry | The Andy Griffith Show 

I was born in 1958. I’ve seen every episode and I am still watching it today

I was born in 1963 I grew up watching Andy Griffith and I still love this show I watch all day

Thank you so much for Sharing. I still love to watch the "Andy Griffith show". ❤❤❤

I was born in 1953. I love the Andy Griffith Show. I watch it when I can. They don't make shows like this anymore. ❤❤

We can see how Andy Griffith got his inspiration for the show. It's so beautiful, and just imagine what it must have looked like back then. Welcome to Mayberry.

I was born in 1950, Andy was the best darn show ever, I still watch it to this day!!!

I watched every episode of Andy Griffith Show and still watch the re-runs. Wish it was a nice day. But, great video. Thank you.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙

I watch The Andy Griffith Show every night one at 8:00 and one at 8:30 pm i love it. Thank you for sharing.

I just found this, and it is great. We live just north across the state line near Fancy Gap, and we go to Mt. Airy regularly. I was glad to see the class picture. My wife's aunt (Edna Surratt) is number 24, standing directly in front of Andy. Her grandfather worked with Andy's dad. I grew up in the 80s, and Andy was on TV at our house every evening at 5 o clock. We still love it. I wish they made great shows like that now. Excellent video.

Andy and Barney were 2 of the goats of television

I WAS BORN IN 61 IN THE CAROLINAS THIS IS A GREAT COMING BACK HOME MEMORY FOR ME THANKS

I love the Andy Griffith show. I would love to live there. What a beautiful town. You done a great job.

We still watch the Andy Griffith show and so glad it is available on tv What a nice memory to have and the stories written for the show had pretty good guidelines of how life should be What a special time I’m glad I grew up with this type of show

Thank you so much for posting this video! I grew up watching the reruns… I adore the Andy Griffith show!

That sidecar….”Citizens Arrest! Citizens Arrest!!” 😂😂😂😂

Love the gentleman and his details of the show, stone, city and Andy. Thank you for taking us along, sir.

I grew up in a small town, in Western Md. Still live here, raised 3 generations here. Just like Mayberry. Back in the 60s we even had a Barney. A town cop that looked & acted like Barney. We akso had a Floyd, the barber. 🤣🤣

So blessed that we live just minutes away from Mt Airy. We visit quite often. Was there just today.

Whoever painted that mural, is as talented as Smo Nova!

Stirs-up good childhood- to-adult memories. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. 😊 “NIP IT….NIP IT IN THE BUD!”

Great video! I've visited Mt.Airy, and it's a wonderful experience. I was fortunate enough to visit the museum when Betty Linn, Thelma Lou, on the show was alive. I met her. She was wonderful, very down to earth, and made each visitor feel like family. Can you imagine her thanking you for watching the show and hugging you. I had that pleasure. It's something I'll never forget. If you like the Andy Griffith show, please visit Mt. Airy, North Carolina 😊❤

Don Knotts was born to be Barney Fife. ❤😊

Born in 65 .i remember getting in a bit of trouble like a boy does and my dad saying you watch Andy Griffith so you know better so now you are grounded ! Thank you DAD miss you

THIS IS A GREAT TOUR VIDEO ! THE BEST !

I live on the mountain just above Mount Airy, N.C. I shop ,eat and see my doctors in that precious and quaint town.

I was 3 yrs old in 1960 my mother watched it when i was a 3 yr old all i remember was the man whistling. Now i do have some rememberence but not much but now i watch the show and have seen all tje reruns. 😂😂

Me and my family went there in 2014. Brought back a lot of memories. I think I actually met Floyd the barber to the real Floyd. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for sharing.

Great video, the part where you held the phone up to your head and spoke into the ear piece had me rolling. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for taking us back to the good times.

One of my favorite truck stops, in Mt Airy. I never knew one of my favorite television shows was filmed there. 😊

Love this ❤ I'd love to see it in person, expected to see Otis sleeping in there 😂

This video was wonderful!! I was born in 58' so this was my era of television growing up, and the Andy Griffith Show was top notch. It's still one of my favorites. I felt like I was walking right beside ya during this tour and enjoyed it tremendously. These were the innocent days of TV when simple comedy was at its finest. It's so different today. Wow, it brought me so many great memories. Thank you for doing this. I give it 5 out of 5 badges!! I want to go here so bad now!! I'm saving this video to my favorites so I can look back on it and remember the tour guides name and the bed and breakfast place and other things. Who knows, maybe I can even make it out there in September. I just LOVE this video!!!

LOL Randy I LOVED this video! I have seen every episode of Andy Griffith. I’m STILL watching the reruns. This was FUN 🤩 THANK YOU 🥰

Thank you this is so cool. Seeing the happier memories in life

When I was in college in mid 1970s there were a couple guys who made their schedule so they could get back to their dorm room to watch Andy Griffith reruns ...Show us your bullet Barney!

My mom and my grandma met Jim Nabors and got his autograph in the 80s

Nice video. Always watched growing up in the 70s. Born 69. Really liked the ford Galaxie. My dad had a 68 fastback and 73 Galaxie 500 sedan. Love that old police car siren Didn’t know that about Floyd.

Those Murals are really beautifully done...

I was born in 1962 and I grew up watching Andy Griffith

HERE'S THE BEST: Barneys Side Car Episode and he mentions "JOHNNY SHAFTO" - Well Guess What, I know JOHNNY SHAFTO - my Best Friend, Thornton High School, CO, 1975-1977, joined the USN in the same company 77-164 San Diego and still keep in touch today. I still call him Johnny, I LOVE YOU BROTHER, Bobby Estey (USN, USS Constellation CV64 - AIMD 77-81) Johnny Shafto (USN, USS Enterprise CVN65 and USS Coral Sea CV43 - VA97).

I was 10 years old when the last episode was filmed now my grandchildren wach the TV show

born 1959,,my favorite everyday tv shows,,still love them...nice job man,,thanks for sharing

One of my fav shows!

I still watch Andy Griffith show Thankyou this was so cool

Great video. My favorite show was when Gomer came into the sheriff's office and was singing From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoly and said that was from the marine hymn and Andy ask him did he go see a John Wayne movie over the weekend and Gomer said he had joined the marines. That was my favorite show and that was part of the beginning of that particular show.

Greatest show ever

Great video. I enjoyed it very much, seeing the museum and all. Barney’s side car was what he called “check point chicky”

It never gets old I can watch Andy over and over and still laugh like it's the first time I watched it

I was there before the reruns so I bought the set. Still love it.

💀..Excellent vid..!! ..(Amazing muralist !!!, artist)

Awesome and amazing video. God bless you and your family Brother

Home sweet Home, I love Mount Airy and it's medicine to the soul. Recommend Mayberry Days to anybody thats never been.

I think I’ve seen every Andy Griffith episode multiple times. Did they carry over the Mayberry Day tradition at Toyota Field? I remember them doing that at Joe Davis Stadium way back.

I loved seeing this! Thank you. I couldnt stop cracking up at the way you were talking into phone. It was backwards 😂😂😂. Much love❤

Andy Griffith & Don Knott's were a very underrated comedy duo one of the best ever. Probably a huge reason the show was such a hit. What a chemistry Andy and Don had. Awesome, few comedy teams achieve that.

Loved Andy Griffith. My favorite was The Loaded Goat.

WoW thanks for this video i drove truck for 18 years and went past mt airy several times but no time to stop and was not sure about getting a big truck in there, i too grew up watching the show so WoW thank you.

Born in 65 and grew up with the show. It is my absolute, most favorite TV show ever made. If I could only have one thing to watch on TV or stuck on an island it would be this show. I have the whole series on DVD and know just about every line of every episode. I love this show with a passion. It puts me in a good mood at any time. OK, for you super fans out there, I wish they made a Thanksgiving episode as good as the Christmas one with Ben (Which we watch every Christmas morning along with Bing in White Christmas) and I think Peg was the best one for Andy. Barney is my favorite but so is Ange. Floyd is right behind them. We love all the characters. They feel like family at this point.They will never create a more beloved show than this. Thank you for making this awesome video brotha. I had a shot to go visit Mount Airy in the 90s but couldn't. Many dear blessings all and I might just have to watch me the "Jinx" one tonight, LOL!!!

I've been here twice. I loved it.

You were within 30 minutes of where I live. I'm just up the mountain and across the Virginia line. You did a great job with the video. Hope you are having a great weekend and God bless!

Thank you for sharing your trip to the real Mayberry!

I Injoy the whole thing. That was really good.

I still watch this all the time on TV Land when I visit my mother. Thanks for the content Big Bake! Wow the driver has so much knowledge!

Gonna make it to Mt.Airy this summer.Thought about going for Mayberry Days,but I seriously doubt I'd be able to get a reservation in one of the few hotels they have.I'll never get tired of the Andy Griffith show.I have it on disc!

I watch it to this day! Every day

That guide looks and acts just like the show did.He is so funny.

Thanks for posting this vid. A year later since this was made, my husband and I are going up to Mt. Airy this weekend. Looks like we'll have a good time. Thanks for all the good tips.

Wow Thank you for sharing a beautiful memory. I still watch Andy one of my favs ❤ God Bless and Thanks again ❤

True crime sucks! And there is way to much of it on the toobs. Very depressing aswell. This is way more fun, thank you😊 I like Matlock and Andy's music 🎶

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I truly enjoyed it, as I love to watch Andy Griffith’s shows! One of my favorite TV comedy shows ever, great actors! Particularly the one with Brisco Darling and his son’s music when they are playing their instruments with Andy! Absolutely unique! Keep up the good work! Greetings🤗

I really love the Andy Griffin show and Matlock and his singing CD he made of gospel songs .he was a very favorite actor of mine rip Andy Griffin

Great video. I read “The Boys” by Ron and Clint Howard and the book “Andy and Don” by Daniel de Vise. Always loved the TV show.

Thanks for the video. This place is on my bucket list. A side note: the quality of your video is incredible; clear and crisp.

Thank you so very much I did like this. This was very very good never seen anything like this about Andy very educational. Thank you.

Another great video.

I'm 19 and I really love and enjoy the Andy Griffith show. I have a gun belt just like Barney's. Video was awesome and loved the Galaxies and the siren coming on. 🚨❤️❤️

I enjoyed watching your video. I was born in, raised, and still live in Mount Airy. If you’ve been to Mayberry Days every year you would’ve met me from 1996-2004. There was a young redheaded boy who was portraying Opie Taylor from the show. That was me. I was the boy giving out lemonade at the old Visitors Center which was a blue house at the start of Main Street. I had the honor of meeting and interacting with some of the cast members including George Lindsey and Maggie Peterson. Every one of the stars I met were incredibly nice. I still have the slingshot I used with my portrayal of Opie. I sometimes knew in advance if Andy was coming to visit the town as he and my grandpa were cousins and he’d get word from other relatives.

What a cool town!! All the times travelling through NC never been there. Definitely gonna go sometime. Had fun watching! Great job 🙂 Andy Taylor icon!

Yes a different but cool vidio. I use to watch the show when i was a kid. Take care your doing a great job Shawna from Canada

I absolutely love this channel.. one of the hidden gems of RU-vid

Andy was a small town good ole boy and iam sure his parents were very proud of him.

I grew up near mt airy and my mom was friends with a lady who was Andy’s neighbor when they were kids she had so many stories of them growing up together

Thanks and it was wonderful.

North Carolina is a beautiful state, at least I know it used to be. If you can visit there among the other original 13 colonies, do so. The beautiful colonies and war sights were very awesome and beautiful in learning of the hard and determined founding history of this beautiful country.

We have been there a few years ago I got pictures of my husband and brother in law in jail we had a awesome time reliving those days 😅

Me born 55 still watch it sometimes 😊

I watch the show every day on ME channel, but they only play a couple of seasons and i just wish they would play the whole series! Great video by the way! Keep doing them!

I was born 14 days before Ron Howard. Andy was born one month before my mother. Andy died 2 weeks after my father died. I watched the episodes during their first runs. Seems like it was Wednesday nights. They were black and white. There was no color TV yet. I still watch 2-3 episodes everyday on “Pluto TV.” Full episodes. Not chopped up like the other networks. Thanks for this video.

Very very cool!! Thank you!! 👍🙏💓

Mount Airy, North Carolina really does have that Mayberry vibe to it... Love that town, Siler City is pretty cool too... miss the state...Thanks for sharing!!!!

I love Andy Griffiths I watch it every show with my mom and just myself I love Matlock that's my favorite too I always watch it ❤️ it .& Stars & Stripes I think it's called. that to & American Graffiti ❤ love it thank you for sharing

I was born in 1987 but watched the Andy Griffith Show and with me having red hair people always told me I looked like his son lol

I lived in Mount Airy for a few years back in the late 90’s

Great interview and story thanks for the video I watched every episode when it comes on TMC 😊

Been there. First time I ever paid to ride in a cop car 🚨. It's too bad Andy Griffith was the opposite of the sheriff he played. We actually went to church where Andy Griffith 😯 developed some of his talents. State in the house that he used to frequent. He that is very poor upbringing get the better of him. Somebody else is with me and wanted to visit the town and I wanted to avoid an ice storm so we stayed. It is a beautiful town.

Love how you hold that old phone in the old courthouse, close to correct! Great video!

Nice little town will definitely visit again soon

Very informative and cool to see... Another great video...

The,marble quarry!!!

Absolutely our favorite place!!
