I can't imagine any "modern" comedy show taking the time (or having the courage) to produce a scene as quiet, sincere and touching as this! Sadly, we are now slaves to the laugh track and smut but, fortunately, the cream rises to the surface and endures. Fifty years old and just as good as the first time it was broadcast. Thank you Andy Griffiths and company for everything you've given us through the years.

The first time I heard it was at my Great Grandmother's funeral in a little country Church surrounded by trees in middle Tn. The cemetery was right beside the Church and my Grandmother was buried there beside many of her family members. An interesting story about her...she was born and raised in the community where the Church is. When she was 19, her parents and siblings left TN for one of the Oklahoma land runs. One sister who was married stayed in TN and my Grandmother stayed here with her. She married and had a bunch of kids. She never saw her parents and siblings again, although they stayed in close contact via mail, but never saw each other again.

I noticed a comment about Andy being lazy and something about the south. I grew up in the south on a farm and the reason that people did sit on their porch in the evenings and on Sunday is because they had to work hard all day in the heat or cold, it didn't matter. The animals had to be fed 7 days a week. This was a special time to relax and I would love to go back to those times even though the work was hard. Life was a lot more simple then. You did your work and rested...

[@justinlecroy6143]

WTH said it was lazy? People did this instead of watching TV or internet after hard days work. The other reason people in the South did this was b/c they didn't have air conditioning. Also this was the Sabbath in that time you DID NOT work or do anything except what you absolutely had to do. The farmers would still have to feed the animals and things like that but you didn't do much. My grandmother wouldn't allow anyone to even fish or anything like that. Stores wouldn't even dream of opening then. BTW this was one of the best episodes and scenes ever.

[@knittingmama9261]

Justin Lecroy I agree to all that you said. I didn't have enough room to add all that applied. We didn't have air conditioning either and we also went to church after feeding and milking cows on Sunday. I was not very happy about people thinking that southerners like myself and Andy are lazy. I was told one time by someone that we southerners work like we talk...SLOW. That is so not true.

This is not so much a vision of an America that was, but of an America as we aspired to be. Our flaws were many, but we held ourselves to a higher standard. The popular culture today caters to the lowest common denominators of foul language, dysfunctional families, ineffectual fathers, and sex, sex, sex (as long as it's not between a husband and wife). And we've done a fine job of living up to these standards. This is a clip from a bygone era in which we drew inspiration from our better angels.

They're all gone, and so will we all be soon. But in the meantime, can I be your neighbor?

One of my favorites! I love the ending of this episode! *sniff, sniff* :')

I grew up in the late 80’s and 90’s- and this was how I grew up. My daddy and his brothers played guitar together since they could hold one. And when my mama came in she picked up the bass. The St Joe River Band they called themselves. And my whole life, I grew up on the floor in front of them. Listening to this song and many, many others. Watching Andy Griffith. I’m so thankful for that.

This song really makes you think about the things you miss in life.

[@williedixon1180]

One of my favorite hymns....from childhood to this day....always makes me cry

[@franceliakarle_1]

Hi how are you doing today?

[@ejrobison99]

One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and moving parts in this show

[@dannymartinez9371]

I love the episodes where Barney's lack of singing ability is the hilarious focus but so much more often he harmonizes perfectly with Andy, just like here in the background.

[@dannymartinez9371]

@@franceliakarle_1 I'm fine, thank you. Just up checking my phone. Went to barbecue yesterday to watch the Cowboys game. Snacking on some leftover ribs. My girlfriend/wife is asleep next to me, just finished rubbing her feet. She has very pretty feet. We're switching apartments tomorrow so we gotta pack stuff but I went to liquor store and got plenty of boxes. How about you?

So many warm Sundays sitting on my Grandma's porch watching the cows in the field across the road, and listening to my grandmother hum hymns quietly while the rest of my family and I just relaxed after dinner. I miss those days so much.

[@philosopher1967]

A great scene from my favorite episode.

I was so lucky as a kid to have a porch. I will remember all the fun that we all had If ever I buy a house It will have a porch. I hope.

This was one of my Dad's favorite songs! He had a beautiful singing voice, sadly, silenced now.
