My favorite episode has always been "Aunt Bea's Pickles". The kerosene cucumbers, oh my what a hoot. "Opie the Birdman" was amazing as well. The best line ever was at the end when Opie released the birds. "Gee Paw, the cage sure seems empty. Yes son it sure does, but don't the trees seem nice and full."

I believe the episode was called, "The Pickle Story". It IS hilarious from beginning to end. Especially funny is when barney goes out to the Junction to get rid of aunt Bee's "Kerosene Cucumbers" as barbey called them. It is hard for myself as a diehard fan of thr show to actually choose any particular favorite. One more note. This clip is called "The CHARACTER Andy hated not the actor. After seeing this a while ago, I am on full agreement with Andy on this. Every town needs a mayor but the very idea of city and county in the sane building and the mayor being over the sheriff is too far fetched. I'm sure Don Knotts felt the same way. BTW Andy having a deputy was Don's idea and he really added a lot of zest to the show! The two were inseparable until Don's death.

The power with Andy is that I felt he was the smartest person in town. Always plays like he’s just a simple man but his eyes are observing. And always helps to patch things up as well as learn lessons from the other characters. If he had played it more comical then his character would not have given the viewers the secure and humble person that helped to balance all the nutty characters in town.

What separates "The Andy Griffith Show" from sitcoms of more recent decades are the following: 1. Each recurring role character was considered a real person who was never made fun of nor who made fun of the other characters. 2. Each storyline was based on believable happenings. 3. The scripts were not filled with "put down" jokes, "fabrications," and one-up replies by comedy writers, aimed to fill dialogue with curse words and/or sexual references. Today's humor is garbage (for the most part) compared to the wholesome humor as portrayed in 60's sitcoms ("The Andy Griffith Show'" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" are two such memorable classic programs.

Barney did refer to Thelma Lou’s cousin Mary Grace as “a dog” several times in one episode, which really surprised me. That’s the only really nasty incident I can recall from TAGS. My favorite character might be Floyd the barber. He had such a funny and genuine quirky delivery of his lines & priceless facial expressions. My favorite episode might be “The Manicurist”; Barbara Eden was great with perfect comedic delivery. Watching the men in the barber shop falling all over themselves trying to escape volunteering for a manicure was hysterically funny. The first season was good but Andy’s accent was way over the top. His character fell into line much more honestly when he went with his natural southern accent and acted more responsible. By second season he’d gotten it right. I loved his many scenes with Opie (who was my same age when the show started) where he has just the right “wise dad” advice. And love and discipline too. I always got a kick out of the Darlings. I never liked Ernest T; he was beyond the pale irritating and just plain ridiculous. Also loved the episode where Barney bought the car from the “little old lady” who later played Grangma Walton, Ellen Corby. And the classic Christmas episode with “Scrooge” Ben, who was perfect & Ellie sang “Away in a Manger”; it hit all the right Christmas spirit heartstings spot on!

Andy explained it was just too time consuming to go out and arrest Otis every time he got drunk, so Andy had made Otis a Deputy so he could just arrest himself whenever he had too much to drink. Otis, being a dedicated Peace Officer, always fulfilled his duty! BTW, there were also a couple of episodes when Andy actually needed an extra Deputy and a SOBER Otis donned a uniform and stepped up to the plate!

Pike was a more likeable Mayor that Stoner. Pike seemed more laid back and was probably well liked by the town; whereas Stoner came across as a tinhorn politician who was more concerned with his image than the town and it's people. Rafe Hollister was a prime example. Even though he won for his beautiful singing voice, Stoner didn't like his looks; completely judging a book by its cover. He then became even more of a weasel by giving (making it sound more like an oder actually) Andy the job of telling Rafe he couldn't represent the town. It was a similar situation for Pike when Otis was to be awarded a plaque for the efforts of his ancestor Nathan Tibbs; While he was concerned about Otis being awarded a plaque, his concern was understandable since it was likely that Otis would show up drunk; which fortunately he didn't.

No explosions (save Barney shooting the floor). And once I'm tired, I just roll over, and watch the show on the back of my eyelids - then I'm out. And I liked their "little, fat mayor" the best. He was always very agreeable - in the end. But Andy was right. The Sheriff is an elected official who runs his office as he sees fit... ... But Aaron did have a Midas touch. Peace to all.

Ernest T was my absolute favorite. My father enjoys the Darlings. I think my favorite scene is when Ernest T steals the bride. "Oh Charlene. Say you'll be mine. You will be mine. Say you'll be my belovded." 😆 And Barney takes the veil off. "I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on Earth." Then he chases him back to Andy with a shotgun. 😆 Or they lock him up and he escapes. Also when he's on a rampage when he doesn't get his uniform. Barney keeps saying "He's a nut." 😆 Ernest T should have been on more. I can only remember 3-4 episodes with him.

And Stoner was such a buffoon. I loved the episode where he denies (initially) the Mayberry Band to go to Raleigh. Then Andy brings in some ringers to convince Stoner otherwise. The episode ends with the band leaving town in a bus playing music in a God awful fashion as Stoner realizes he had been had. Great television!

Barney has been wrong so many times that Andy didn't want him to be wrong on this major one that involved so much work digging through racks and dirt. Andy and Helen had found a way out, and were in no danger. They heard about Barney setting up an attempt to save them on the radio so they went back into the cave where they could be rescued. After the rescue, Barney's girl said Barney is such a great guy and Andy's girl said so is Andy. Very touching. Excellent!!!

Since I am older now than my parents were back then, I really see why he liked the show so much. In fact, I was born toward the last years of the Andy Griffith Show series in December of 1966. Especially being from and living in Kentucky, the land of the Bluegrass so to speak, I absolutely love the Bluegrass style music that Andy and The Darlings play. I have listened to it my whole life.

I have all 8 seasons on dvd. I loved "The Andy Griffith Show." It was such a wholesome and very morally decent show with old fashioned country living in a small town of 2,000 people in it. I liked Mayor Stoner better than Mayor Pike.

When Don Knotts died, my local radio station had on some Mayberry "experts" and they were giving away the entire 5th season on DVD for anyone who could call in and stump the experts. Needless to say, I stumped them and won the set, they couldn't answer my trivia question. 😁

I grew up with the town of Mayberry and thought Andy was a great father figure who always seemed to have the right words to say. I will still watch the ole show from time to time and still enjoy it.
