[@jamesmaass8929]

Agreed

[@brianarmstrong9098]

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

[@wendelllanders8439]

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!!!!!!

[@jeddyhi]

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.

[@bantumwt]

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.

[@dickbuelow8968]

I think this show will still be on 50 years from now,,it was so great

[@georgepenaloza1770]

Still funny timeless!!

[@Crockerish]

This is nice that they keep this alive,great show seen them all,never get enough.

Love the Barney Fife imitator. I watch it more now at 64 than I did as a kid

[@tamarakennedy4976]

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.

[@dennisb9001]

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.

That was nice ! I'm in my 60's and still watch the show multiple times, daily..never get tired of it !!

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.

The guy doing Barney's voice is spot on!!!!

[@mskat1954]

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.

[@jillharris9919]

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.

[@dobermanpac1064]

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 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!!!!!!

[@John-rw2zf]

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.

[@docadams7099]

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.

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

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.

[@susanbrown2909]

Clarence Hodges well put. .sometimes the nearest to that is when I go to church..nicer people there.

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.

Kind of scary and cool at the same time.

[@mike.p.1400]

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?

Guys the Thelma Lou Character is the only survivor of the show to date of the main characters that were adults at the time of the filming

[@alabamahebrew]

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?

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.
